Reviews: What People Think About Canary - Smart Home Security
Desertprof
Rating: 3/5
Using this to monitor my elderly mother. One buys these cameras to monitor for detail, but there appears to be some algorithms in the app that remove most of the feed one wants. If your loved one falls, you get a ‘continuous’ feed with her in bed and then on the ground, with the time leading to the fall absent. If there is an interaction needing to be monitored with an aide, that may not show up. As others have mentioned, the app will freeze with no way to reset except to delete it and reinstall. I’ve done that 2-3 times in just the last month. Having a camera to monitor loved ones is an essential in my opinion, but one will not see the critical details one needs quite often with this camera. I think this camera’s app is designed for an area with almost no activity, and when activity occurs, it will complete in a minute or so. It happened again. Needed to hear a conversation with the aide; Canary skipped right over it.

I bought my first Canary security camera at the beginning of the company’s operations. Turned out soon afterward my wife was diagnosed with cancer and her initial treatment was with a stem cell transplant that required us to be nearby the clinic for 9 or 10 months, meaning we were away from our home all that time. Although we had a professionally installed and monitored traditional burglar alarm system the picture from the Canary was reassuring and it’s temperature monitoring system was superior to that we had on the traditional system which often gave false alarms. We downsized a year or so later to a condo which I monitored with two canary cameras. We had purchased a townhouse to be near the cancer clinic and I also monitored it with Canary cameras. Being able to see what’s going on (if nothing else being able to see I closed the overhead garage door when I left) and make sure the heat is on during freezing weather when we are away (and we are always away from one place or the other) gives great peace of mind. Living in safe controlled areas I’m not so concerned with burgers, but we get security from that too! I wouldn’t do without my Canary Security, the things really do work and give great peace of mind for very little!

Firstly, I have been a very long time user of Canary camera systems. When I first purchased my cameras I was enticed by the companies free services. I was looking for a camera without a monthly fee service. After only a few months I got an email that this was all changing and now there would be a monthly fee. I felt ripped off by Canary, so I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth about this company since signing up in 2017. I also have two Canary Flex’s. From the beginning they have had lots of issues. Issues of staying charged, taking an incredible amount of time to recharge, and them constantly losing connection. Not only that, but often times not catching people on the camera. Also, I recently got a new home internet system and the Canary Flex’s are not compatible with this type of wifi. My wifi uses both 2.4 GHZ and 5GHZ and I need it to be able to use both. Canary tried reaching out to me to sign back up for their services again by offering me a reduced annual fee and telling me that I need to buy new Canary cameras for them to work with my wifi. Now there are ads all over the Canary app. I would not recommend to anyone and I strongly suggest anyone considering this company to look into other options instead.

From time to time, the Canary auto-mode switching feature may briefly access your GPS in order to have high confidence in your location. Battery life is very important to us and we do many things to ensure we use it sparingly. Please be aware that continued use of GPS services running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
