Excellent video and sound quality
Automode usually accurate
Cloud-based versus an internal memory/sd card

Canary automatically changes its status to monitor your property
Multi
Exceptional video streaming quality
Intelligent sensing over time
Sturdy design
The editors didn't like
Setup process is a little long and tedious
Location services can be buggy
Not recognizing when you're home or away
No two-way voice feature
Limiting your interaction with those on the other end of the camera
Alarm doesn't sound automatically
DVR service is pricey
Possibly a free cloud based option
Such as Dropbox. Wish I had one for each room
No backup battery or local storage It stores videos in the Canary cloud
And it doesn't work when the electricity goes out unless you've thought of linking it to a power bank
No 2way communication
10second latency with the live feed
Lacks compatibility with other homeconnected products
The Canary retails for about $250 (Amazon Link) at the time of this review. It is not in the same market segment as the previous IP cameras we've reviewed because it isn't an IP camera, at all. It is a total security solution that has an easy to use inter...

Abstract: Is it a security camera? Is it an ear-piercing alarm? Is it an air quality monitor? It's all three! Canary is finally here: “the first smart security device for everyone”, they claim. Is it the last word in affordable home security and monitoring systems,...
Overall I was impressed with the Canary. The camera itself looks good and it allowed me to monitor a large room in my home with a single unit which was sensitive to both movement and unusual sounds. Setting the hardware up could not have been easier, and...
Abstract: So while Ambi Climate, the air-conditioning control system I featured last month, exploits the power of remote computing to give the gadget extraordinary analytical capability (yet with a user-friendly portable app as the interface), this latest webcam, t...

Feature rich, Great design, Intuitive app, Intelligent learning
No web interface, Forces you to use paid plans, High bandwidth requirements
Home security is incredibly important to us, so it is of no wonder that we are now starting to heavily invest in small home security systems to monitor your pets or your belongings. With monitoring devices becoming smarter and smaller, with readily availa...
It's been a while since I have looked at a relatively new product that has felt so complete and polished. With a few enchantments to the app, such as control on a per user basis, direct sharing of videos and an option to simply have a live stream with the...
Abstract: 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 ju...

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...
