    Canary has been useful for keeping tabs on house

    My Canary has been great so far. It's been really helpful to be able to have live video of what's happening inside my apartment while I'm at work or traveling, especially since I have a number of maintenance issues and have workers coming in and out of my apartment frequently when I'm not home. Pros: - The design is small, sleek and modern and blends in next to my router. Unless I pointed it out most people wouldn’t realize what it is. - Like I said, the live video has been great for keeping tabs on the people working on my apartment. - Setup was simple and only took a few minutes. - I have joint access to the account with my girlfriend and we both have the ability to check on what is happening in the apartment. - The camera’s resolution is a much higher quality than I expected, and the night vision is very clear as well. Cons: - The device seems like it’s still struggling to recognize my girlfriend and I, and I often get a notification when I come home or leave. - If a truck or car causes a reflection to travel across our apartment when there isn’t a lot of light in the living room, like in the morning or evening, it sometimes sets off the device and sends us an alert.

    Horrible Camera

    Since I bought this camera the company has now changed the features to require all free users to need a monthly plan for this to be useful. The clips from motion activation are now only 10 seconds long. Last night I heard what sounded like a gunshot and cleared through my house. When I reviewed the footage all that it showed was the light turning on, Canary did not even record me walking by the camera multiple times. This product is worthless for home security, I will be replacing it immediately and Best Buy should stop carrying this company's products due to their unethical practices.

    We love our new Canary! On top of giving us peace of mind when we leave the home, it's become a great way to spy on our adorable dog when we're at work. Because it's motion activated, any time the dog moves past or within range of it's wide sensors (and presumably if a thief entered our apartment) it sends a notification to your phone via the app. Additionally, you can use the "Watch Live" feature if you simply want to watch your dog/cat/child/spouse while they are at home and you're not. It's also got an elegant, sleek design that can easily blend into a bookshelf. Some features I especially appreciate: the app sensing when I am "at home" and "away," for automated arming and disarming of the Canary; air quality & temperature monitors; being able to bookmark and comment on recorded video clips; and installation ease-- literally took us only 15 minutes! In short: I highly recommend this as a product to renters and/or homeowners who want a cost-effective, simple way to secure their homes, with the added benefit of being able to connect to your family when you're away.
