Canary All-In-One Home Security Device

The Canary is extremely reliable but it lacks the extra features to make it stand out in a competitive market.

Inconspicuous design, great app experience, multiple users, recognises phones to deactivate as necessary, multiple sensors and alarm features, 12-hour free timeline

Regular false recognition, no bracket for variable positioning, future potential not yet realised from multiple sensors (no IFTTT, for example), subscription cost complexity, no recording downloads

We trust Canary. That's the bottom line here. There's a lot about it that really feels like "the one" as smart home security goes. It doesn't have the face recognition technology that Netatmo's added on to Welcome but we're not sure it really needs it....

The Canary is a useful one-box, cloud-based home security camera with high quality footage and an especially well-designed app. It’s also refreshingly easy to use, thanks to the way it leverages your smartphone. The snag is the high price and stingy...

Canary offers impressive video quality including a highly detailed night vision mode. Its "Homehealth" sensors are accurate and helpful.

An over-sensitive motion sensor renders Canary borderline unusable, and we didn't receive text alerts when we cut the power.

Canary is packed with solid hardware, but it doesn't add up to a device we'd want to depend on.

To say the setup was not easy is perhaps the understatement of the year – no make that decade – as even though I live in the UK – and it agrees with that – it insists I enter a ‘state’ this however can be anything a blank space or a non-existent one it...

First off, considering it's just a security camera, the Canary Smart Home Security camera looks fantastic. It's a seriously nice bit of kit, with an inconspicuous design that blends into the background

Our biggest gripe with the Canary is that it can be deactivated simply by cutting off the power - and you don't receive a notification when that does happen. Which means thieves can easily deactivate the camera if they do spot it

Solid, beautiful hardware, combined with an elegant app make for a compelling argument to pop the Canary Smart Home Security camera in your home for security, but annoying notifications, a somewhat frustrating set-up process and no easy way to mount it...

As vapid and widespread as the Internet of Things segment is, it is products like the Canary wireless security system that offer a cohesive and effective example of a connected, smart, cloud-powered and app-controllable security option that is well...

Simple to install. Sharp 1080p video. Crystal clear night vision. Two-Way audio. Monitors air quality. Alexa and Google Assistant voice support.

Many features require a subscription plan. No local storage. Lacks native support for IFTTT.

Live on-demand video, sharp 1080p footage, and instantaneous mobile alerts are all good reasons to consider the Canary. It installs in minutes and keeps tabs on humidity levels, room temperature, and air quality in your home, and it lets you download...
