A small price for a secure feeling

We are very satisfied with our canary system. We have four devices in total, 2 inside and 2 outside. They work great. No complaints. I understand that if we see a burglary it is our responsibility to turn on the siren or call the police, but we feel safe when we are away from home knowing we can always check what's going on , and if someone approaches or tries to enter our home, we'll know about it right away. We didn't need anyone to install the system and the installation was very easy…

Additional features and integration into a great overall service

This is my second Canary device - I bought the original back in 2015. The product and service is perfect for what I'm looking for: passive monitoring of my home (now my office) when I'm on the go and don't particularly care for a monthly plan. The algorithm they came up with to detect suspicious movement which I can check on my phone is exactly what I was looking for. The Canary Flex is an improvement over the original model in four areas: 1) Built-in battery - long life, no need. No mains…

Canary takes and returns

Update: I returned 3 stars (for a 4 star rating) because they brought back the main feature that made me buy Canary in the first place. They again offer a "night mode" that activates a scheduled notification feature that I can set to be active when I go to bed. Thank you for putting this back on the free service. I can understand the cost of storing all these videos, but I didn't understand how expensive night mode support can be. I purchased a canary camera and canary center unit based on the…

The actual product is very good

Firstly, lately I've seen a lot of negative feedback about the removal of online features. I bought my Canary after this change so I can't speak about it. It looks like supporting previous users or opening up some features to those people could go a long way in this regard. My review focuses on my experience: I've had Nest cameras (Dropcam) for years, so I'm comparing my experience with them. I've decided not to choose the monthly payment yet to see what I get without the monthly fee. In my…

Pros
  • Very good for the price
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Easy installation for general surveillance

The Canary Flex is a decent home security camera. The installation of the magnetic base is very simple and the positioning of the camera is very simple. The camera must be mounted vertically as the software cannot automatically rotate or flip the image when the camera is mounted horizontally or upside down. For some odd reason, while pairing, Canary requires both Bluetooth and location services to be enabled (Android install). This caused the pairing to fail a few times as I didn't allow Canary

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
