Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this camera after someone decided they wanted to steal packages off my doorstep during the holidays. So far since my purchase I can tell you that the camera quality is great through the app. which was something I was worried about. And also the sensor for picking up on movement works well. And the night vision or night recordings aren't too bad as well. However the application on my phone is a little delayed on sending me notifications when it senses something moving. And there is a delay when it initially starts picking up movement. Also to note, don't set it by a window angled out toward a road, it will pick up and record every car that passes by until you get home. But for a moderately costed security camera it covers the bases for the most part.

Security Camera System works well and provides real time video of household interior as well as temperature and air quality conditions. System requires that wi-Fi system be in operation at all times. Although system usage does no require a monthly charge, to fully utilize the system's many features and capabilities, monthly fees are required. The cost of the monthly fee varies with the level of capabilities. Set up of the system and information regarding its operation are available on line. Only minimum operational written information for the system is provided with the product. This makes initial set up of the system somewhat of a chore.

I bought one unit last year . It worked flawlessly . I purchased a 2nd unit which is just as reliable . Setup is easy . You must have wifi . I am able operate each unit independent of the other . I can set the motion sensor video recorder in one room an not the other or I can operate both simultaneously . The picture resolution is outstanding . It has an infrared type process where in the night you can see the activity without a problem viewing . I recommend this , it's a good product

My daughter originally purchased a Canary on the recommendation of a friend who sets up security for companies after her home was burglarized during the day and she needed something she could set up immediately. After seeing how hers worked, I purchased one for our home. It was incredibly easy to set up with my iPhone 6 and worked well while we were on vacation for two weeks, the only issue was when a power outage occurred and the unit went offline. Frankly, for that reason and also that the unit would not need to be placed near an outlet, I would have liked a battery operated unit. The unit will send an alert to your phone when it detects motion and you can also watch a live feed from your phone whenever you choose. I purchased the black one with the thought that it would be less visible, however, when the unit is on, there is a green light that is hard to miss when it is activated, so if you plan on using this as a “nanny cam” that is something to be aware of. You have the option of activating an alarm on the unit from your phone, which is really quite loud, or you can place a 911 call if needed. The Canary also has features that will monitor air quality in your home, but I have not used that. All in all, this is nice option if you want some peace of mind without paying monthly fees and you want something that is easy to use and set up.

The Canary is an ok security camera. It sends videos whenever it detects movement when I have put it in away mode. There is a delay in notification. It only sends a notification once it has stopped recording. If it were an intruder, the late notification might be a problem. The video sometimes doesn’t accurately reflect the color of clothing people are wearing. I haven’t figured this out yet. I think most problems will be minimized or cleared up if I paid for monitoring. This device is ok, but not worth the $170 I paid.

This device syncs with your phone and allows for constant review and interaction. We bought this device after our house was broken into. It can be a pain if you have pets as their movements constantly set it off to send alerts but the system also allows the user to set the sensitivity levels in how frequently it sends alerts. The wide view is very nice and even allows for zooming in when in "live" mode. The privacy feature is also nice so you don't feel like you're being monitored and watched while you are home. The alarm feature is nice knowing I can set it off from work should I find someone in my home while still having the recording to use.

This is a great tool - it's a simple, foolproof surveillance camera that is easy to set up with your home Wi-Fi and works as advertised. The video resolution is very good and the automatic activation (when the paired smart phone goes out of range) and alerts have been perfect. It's ideal for watching the indoor critters while you're away or monitoring the status of your home = peace of mind. Excellent value for the money.

This is a good product. It was very easy to set up and the video quality is excellent even in the dark. I do get some random notifications from reflections or sunlight. It is an expensive product and you would have to pay extra for monitoring. I do feel safer having the Canary and I would buy it again knowing what I know now.

This allows for me to view either live or taped action in a room (I actually have two for two separate rooms) on my phone. The live action has about a 10-second delay, which is why it's not getting five stars, when watching on my phone (need the Canary free app). It records when a movement is noticed so you can review when away from home. A subscription is available to record more, but it records and saves enough for me. You can hear what's going on, but it's not two-way. There is an alarm and/or call an emergency number. Easy to set up.

This is our third Canary. They are very easy to set up, and have an excellent camera as well. We like the notifications and ease of using from mobile devices.

The Canary sings.... Yes, this All-in-one Wireless Security Device offers proximity Presence Geo-Fencing. My suggestion is to use the medium radius, it faults less. The unit is self contained with an easy wall adapter. A few commands and the unit is connected to your WiFi, you can also Patch it into your Switch or Router. There is an advantage to paying the low yearly fee, you can remote in from any PC. Canary paired Smart_Phone users now have a time stamped departure and arrival log, FWIW, good for small businesses. The light adjusting camera lens covers a good view. I enjoyed the two way audio feature. If you are looking for an easy all-in-one Swiss knife kind of security device, this one cannot be beat. The Canary also films into the Cloud, so video is never lost even if the device gets destroyed. The security is silent so you know and the thief walks around. You can remotely activate the siren from your Smart Phone app and speak into the microphone if you wish that Police is on the way. I was looking for something like the Canary, simple, single Box, IP, Ethernet Port, Temp, Humidity, Air Quality, Video Intercom. Take my word, this Canary has the features packed into a single simple product. Brilliant execution. Good product development. Bravo.

Did lots research and it is best camera I could find that doesn't require monthly fee for storing video, although only 12 hrs. Sends push notifications to phone when activity detected and easy to install on phone to auto detect when away. Requires static modem IP address to maintain reliable connection. Cons: 1. Good wide angle but no panning /tilt 2. One way audio - can only hear 3. Very easy almost too easy to trigger siren from phone application 4. Can only access via phone application, no computer access

I purchased this based on reviews from some tech podcasts I follow. It has some handy features like air quality monitoring, although it's very generic - the alerts on my mobile device don't tell me what is off when an air quality alert goes off, I have to go in and check the readouts for humidity, etc, based on a "low / medium / high" kind of scaling, rather than numerical values. The visual quality is pretty good - it has a wide field of view, and a clear picture. I've noticed an average of a 1-2 second lag time between motion detection and notification, and while watching the live feed; so if you're using this for its intended purpose as a home security camera, the 1-2 seconds doesn't make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. If you're using it as a baby or child monitor, or something like that where 1-2 seconds could mean bigger trouble, you'll probably want to find a different solution.

This security system is so easy to setup and use. It only took me 5 minutes to get it up and running. The picture quality is great and the alerts are simple to setup.

I love my Canary it dose everything I wanted the camera is extremely clear the iCloud works good and the motion detection is almost to sensitive I highly recommend it to someone who wants a cheap security system with a camera that you can look at live at anytime and not pay a monthly fee!

I bought 4. They are easy to setup, aesthetically pleasing, and they deliver exceptional video quality!

although the lens is wide view it still in my opinion needs a movable camera. i have cheaper systems that do a better job by getting more recording view than this high end camera security system. overall its ui is fresh and the setup is easier to install.

I like the canary. I first bought the Ring but due to the system being more annoying and who's to stop someone from wearing a mask and stealing it from the front of the house? The canary give you great quality video, sound, Air Quality Sensors and an option to add people to your "Network". It's design also fits in with other tech so it doesn't look out of place - people have not noticed the canary and that's a good thing. It has a loud siren if an emergency pops up. The only downside is that it is not comparable with Alexa, yet.

This security camera is not bad at all. Has an excellent display and really good night vision. Only down side is that it does not move or swivel and once your 2 week free trial is up you have to purchase a plan. Luckily the data plans are not bad.

Works great inside the home and the quality of the video is pretty amazing. We use this one in the kitchen and have a great angle on our entrance and the rest of the living room. My favorite part of the canary system is the seamless automation with your location and set times. Pretty much set it and forget it. The video quality is pretty excellent and the night vision mode is pretty great.it is also pretty good at picking up audio. My only gripe is that it's so expensive to have multiple cameras throughout thenhouse
