Update 17OCT17The Canary has been a steller performer for me this past year. I have changed wireless network gear a few times and reconfiguring it to access the new network was a breeze. The quality of the night-vision still amazes me! What a great product!The Canary is the best all-in-one solution available today! When I decided to purchase an All-in-one security solution for my home, I couldn't decide what to buy so I bought the Canary and the Piper to compare them against one another. After a detailed comparison, I discovered the following...ProsThe camera on the Canary is far superior during the day.The night mode is fantastic as shown below and the PIPER DOES NOT HAVE A NIGHT CAMERA unless you spend $80 more than the Canary.The timeline is much more intuitive and, unlike the Piper, there's not a 15 second break between alerts and the next set of recordings.The Canary is much more aesthetically pleasing and, in addition, does not stand out and draw attention to itself for what it is intended to do.The wide angle camera covers my entire living room when situated correctly.The setup was far easier than with the Piper and the audio cable setup is ingenious!The air quality monitor is a nice advantage.The power cable is very long and allows for strategic placement.The status light ring at the bottom is a nice plus.Ethernet connectivity is a nice feature I utilized instead of the wireless setup.ConsOnly the Piper has a "loud noise alert" which I discovered to be very handy in alerting me when my dogs go at one another or there's some other disturbance in the house not necessarily related to movement. It allows the event to stand out and that's a nice feature for sure.I can talk through the Piper unit when away from home to tell the dogs to knock it off or to communicate with my family of need be. Nice feature not available on the CanaryThere's no battery backup if power is lost with the Canary. Piper has battery backup. I have it plugged into my UPS to ensure it operates if I lose power for a period of time.Overall, my use proved the Canary immediately fostered a feeling of positivism and trust. This was due in part to the easy setup and rock solid performance. The Piper was difficult to setup and would not record event after event unless I enabled the auto-rearm feature which makes no sense to me as a technical person. I highly recommend the Canary to anyone who wants to secure their apartment or home and have ease of use and intuitive design. Perhaps you will find, like I did, a number of additional uses for the Canary than just a passive security system.As a side note... most of the independent reviews on YouTube and other sites indicate you cannot download videos, etc. These are early reviews not indicative of features currently available. You can indeed download videos and features will be added over time I imagine to make the Canary more and more valuable for the owner. Pictures below are real images extracted from my phone:**Update**I have thoroughly tested the Canary and found it to be exceptional. It automatically arms the unit when I leave home and alerts me via push messaging when there's an issue. I also launched it on my iPad Air 2 and watched the camera live, in pitch black darkness no less, and was presented with a wonderfully clear video which I left running for 2 hours. During the 2 hours I had it running, it never dropped video nor did it hiccup in any way. If asked, I can't think of anything else I'd add to this device besides the loud noise alert. The Canary is so very rock solid it's very much worth your consideration.This is genuine customer review. I have no been paid for my review and I purchased my Canary unit from Amazon like everyone else.

Fatal (And Very Expensive) Flaws of Canary Revealed After My Home Is BurglarizedCONCLUSION: The Canary device is excellent at making movies of your home being burglarized, and horrible at actually preventing burglaries and notifying the police. If you purchase this, do not have any illusions. You are purchasing a $200 motion sensor camera, NOT a reliable security device. You ABSOLUTELY need another system on top of the Canary devices that automatically sirens and automatically notifies the Police. Thus, I give the Canary devices one-star because it is advertised as a security device that will protect your home, your belongings, and your family. In reality, it is little more than a $200 motion sensor camera that will not protect your home, family, or belongings when it really matters.At 2:22AM on 8/15/16, two suspects unlawfully entered my home in Phoenix, Arizona. They entered by wrapping a towel around a piece of wood, breaking a door window, and unlocking the door from the inside. I had two Canary devices inside that sensed the motion and recorded videos of the suspects. All of my valuable items in the home were taken by the suspects. The video shows one suspect named Michael well however the quality of the Canary video is not high enough to have any good shots of who I call SUSPECT 1. I know one of the suspect's names is Michael because the suspects get into an argument and SUSPECT 1 calls Michael by his name. I am attaching the videos taken to this review.On one hand, the Canary did what it was supposed to do. It sensed the motion of the two suspects and recorded audio and video of them. The audio is surprisingly clear and loud and I was able to transcribe most of the conversation between the suspects. The video leaves more to be desired, however for a $200 device I don't feel like I have room to complain. But I must mention it for potential purchasers of this device. SUSPECT 1 passes by the Canary several times within two feet of it. The video is simply not clear enough in night vision to have a good shot of SUSPECT 1's face. No screen shots can be lifted from the footage that clearly show SUSPECT 1's face enough to lead to an apprehension of him. Fortunately, the Canary is the bedroom and in the living room captured Michael's tattoos and face well enough to identify him. I cannot stress enough how key the clear audio is in my situation. I was able to get the name of one suspect and also a lot of useful information in how they scoped out the house.HOWEVER, you are looking at this Canary device because you want to PREVENT your items being stolen, not just make a film of it being stolen. I had over $30,000 worth of items stolen from my house and I have nice evidence for the police, but that is completely different than the actual crime being prevented.FATAL FLAW #1: You CANNOT set your Canary to automatically sound the siren when motion is detected in ARM mode. What happens is that the Canary senses the motion, starts recording, and is supposed to send a notification to your phone of the movement. Here's the fatal flaw...it is likely that you are not going to be awake when the burglary occurs. My burglary happened at 2:30am and I was sleeping. You can read other users reporting flaws in the notification system here. Canary's timeline says it sent me a notification at 2:33am, but my phone never received it. Even if my phone had received it, I would have very likely slept through the tone from my phone for the notification. When the notification comes, assuming it actually comes to your phone, you have the option to manually sound the siren or manually contact the police. If you are sleeping or traveling, it is likely you are going to miss this notification. And then you end up with good video of all your belongings you have acquired over 30 years being stolen. Then you hope and pray your typically inept local police force can use all this great evidence to actually catch a suspect. By that time, your belongings are long gone. The only reason to purchase this device is to PREVENT theft, not make a movie of the theft. You will see from the videos, had the siren automatically gone off, these suspects would have fled. If that happened, the Canary would be what the company touts it to be: a complete and trustworthy security system for your home without monthly fees and long contracts. The simple fact is that you need 24/7 monitoring by an agency to actually protect your home because you need to sleep 8 hours per night and you lose service when you travel. Without the automatic siren and without automatic police notification, this Canary device is a $200 burglary movie maker, not a complete security device. As this device is now, you NEED to have a secondary system on top of the Canary that automatically sirens and automatically contacts the police.Also think about this serious issue. I was not home when my home was burglarized. But you are also looking at this device TO SCARE HOME INTRUDERS AWAY WHEN YOU ARE SLEEPING AT THAT HOME. The videos I am posting shows the intruders came in and went directly to the master bedroom where I would usually be sleeping. Time from when the Canary started recording to them reaching my bedroom was around 20 seconds. You DO NOT have enough time to get to your phone and sound the siren manually after receiving the notification. The burglars will be on top of you and your wife and your children, with no siren going off to notify your neighbors and not automatic police notification, and all you can do is just hope you can wake up, get your bearings, and grab your shotgun and start firing in under 20 seconds. Oh wait, you don't own a shotgun? Well then forget about it because you will be too dazed from sleeping to aim your handgun properly, and if they have a gun, and you fire or brandish your gun, you and your family are dead. And remember, your burglars are wide awake and likely intoxicated by any type of substance. Oh wait, you don't own a gun? Well all you can do is just hope your burglars are nice and will only tie you and your family up and leave. But you saw their faces? Well that puts the burglars in a real bind. My burglars figured out the Canary system was running and they figured out it was connected to the Wi-Fi network. How are the burglars going to react in your home, with no police notification, with no siren going, with you at gun point, when they think you have video of them in the cloud in addition to seeing their faces? And my burglars stole my Canary devices, which brings me to my next point...FATAL FLAW #2: From the date of purchase, I thought to myself that designing a security product that you simply place on a shelf is not a good idea. Unfortunately, I ignored my thoughts and purchased the Canary. It is important to note that the Canary is not disguised. When looking at it you can clearly see it's a camera and it even has bright lights that flicker and can be seen underneath it. When you sleep with a Canary in your bedroom, it's these lights will light up your room to the point where you may need to cover your canary completely. Also, No attempt has been made by the designer's to make the Canary look like anything other than a video camera with bright lights. You cannot mount the Canary up high on the wall and out of reach as the device has no mounting holes on the back. I searched Amazon when I purchased the Canary and no mounting devices are on sale. So, I did what the designer suggests and what every owner must do, I placed them on shelves in my living room and bedroom. I placed them in plain view because the wide angle lens of the camera cannot be obstructed by an object to have a clear field of recording. So these two burglars walk into a dark house with these two Canaries flickering their lights away. You can see the burglars notice the lights and look at the devices as soon as they walk in. It just took them a few minutes to realize what those flickering lights were connected to, AND THEY STOLE THE CANARY DEVICES, and ended the video feed, which is extremely fast and easy to do. So if your burglars have been in your house before (which is often the case) and seen your Canary device, they will go straight for it when they enter and obstruct their face from the video feed. The evidence shows that after the burglars unplugged the Canary devices, they were in the house an hour or more afterwards and they left and made at least one trip back to get the bigger items in the home like my $6,000 road bicycle I've used in several races over the years and paid $1,200 to have it custom fitted to my body.I wanted to upload ALL three (3) videos taken by the Canary devices but Amazon will only allow me to upload one video, so I am uploading the longest video taken. I am uploading ALL of the screen shots I pulled from the videos to provide to police and share on Facebook and with neighbors. This gives you an idea of the capabilities of the $200 MOTION SENSOR CAMERA you are purchasing. You can probably find a less expensive motion sensor camera on Amazon that does the same thing, but I will leave the research up to you.

Good camera with motion detection, alarm and 2-way communications (I recommend subscribing to the service to get all the benefits).Great for monitoring any rooms.People / activity detection works really well!iOS app is pretty intuitive as well! Works well over cellular and Wi-Fi Networks

Excelente producto, muy bonito diseño y fácil de instalar. La aplicación es bastante buena y eficiente, la calidad de imagen buena, los modos personalizados funcionan muy bien, llevo poco tiempo con él pero me ha gustado, los indicadores te permiten mantener un ambiente más controlado. El único inconveniente diría que es la membresía que te piden para grabar hasta 30 días, y poder usar el audio dos vías pero hasta ahí, bueno y el hecho que que no puedes girar la cámara para ampliar el ángulo. Seguramente compraré las cámaras de Canary para completar el sistema!***Actualización 31 ene 2021***Muy buena cámara, a la fecha sigue funcionando de maravilla, aunque a veces pasa que se va el servicio unos minutos aunque no marqué que haya fallas con el servicio, lo único que les diría es que la piensen si no quieren contratar un plan para poder grabar hasta 30 días, ya que sin él solo de manda/graba clips de 10 segundos al detectar movimiento, lo cual en caso de un inconveniente no sería de mucha utilidad.Espero que mi reseña les haya sido de utilidad, un abrazo!

Works great! I tried costco’s Lorec camera and it sucked. This camera connected to WiFi and setup easily. Maintains contact flawlessly. What I love over the Lorek is it DOES NOT inform me of intruders every time a spec of dust floats by the lense. The siren is very load.

I have two different brands of indoor security cameras installed in the same environment. I therefore can compare.Canary is very slow in response. Makes funny noise..... I will not buy it for $10.00!
