Intelligent notifications: When Canary identifies something out of the ordinary, you’ll get a notification with recorded HD video of the event, as well as the option to watch live.
Automatic arming: Canary changes modes when you come and go. No complicated keypads or codes to remember.

When a member is home Canary is customizable. You can set notification and privacy preferences.
- Night

Emergency Options: Respond to incidents directly from the Canary app. Trigger the 90 decibel siren, or be connected directly to your home’s local emergency responders.

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.

Ratings and Reviews
Buggy
Since the latest update I've been having problems with location based arming and disarming. Also trying to edit the location hangs the app.
Likewise trying to edit (or just going to the screen of) the emergency numbers hangs the app.
Other bugs I've reported still haven't been fixed. Quite disappointing.
Reliable
I’ve been using my camera for about 5 years. In that time it had been totally reliable, unlike my experience with cameras from 2 other well known brands. Only negative - the adware that was recently put into the app is extremely annoying.

Do not buy any Canary device
In the beginning it was a good product with nice app features, now everything has to be paid for and the app has become an adware.
If you’re thinking of acquiring one, I’d recommend you to avoid Canary at all costs!
There certainly are much better similar solutions.
Developer Response ,
Hi Fernando, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn about your frustration with the changes to our service plan. To clarify, 24/7 watch live, motion notifications, and geofencing are just some of the features that continue to be free as part of the Basic Service plan. In addition, our Two-way Talk feature, which was previously under Premium Service, is included as part of the free Basic Service plan. Now everyone can stay even more connected to their homes by having real-time conversations through the Canary app. Here is the link to our service plan for more information: (https://bit.ly/3zV9g16).
