complete review pricing is 249 on Amazon and I'll give you a link to it in the description below packaging is beautifully crafted they put much care into the Jeane design as they did in the product itself in the box includes one canary device a microUSB power cord AC power adapter a secure set of cables and a QuickStart guide the specs on the device are rocking at 1080p camera 147° wide-angle lens night vision motion detection temperature humidity and air quality sensors a 90 plus decibel siren and a whole lot more Shh they both the quick set-up and they're somewhat accurate first download the app available for both iphone or android plug-in the canary on a flat surface placed in a central high-traffic location sign into the app or create a new account connected to your Wi-Fi be is a secure setup cable and if you're using the Android app I had an issue with the volume step as the app wouldn't allow my volume to be turned all the way up as it required so instead I had to dive into my settings the found in notifications section and drag a media volume all the way up which fixed that problem however right after that I found a major glitch canary apparently isn't set up to override existing settings with a new set up and since this unit was already tied to an account it would keep stalling out I kept keen errors and found no way to hard reset advice however pretending this is the first time setup which went like a breeze after your Wi-Fi settings are securely transferred over from your phone to the canary device you're set up and ready to go there are three main modes armed disarmed and privacy privacy mode means everything is disabled no recording no notifications no ability to watch live video disarms mode means it's recording video when it senses motion but doesn't send you notifications because it thinks you're at home lastly when you leave the house it auto switches to armed mode which is just like disarms mode but sends you notifications when activity is detected in any mode other than privacy mode you can launch the app and watch live video and manually start recording the main benefit of this product is it's pretty thought free when you leave the house at Auto arms itself when it detects activity it begins recording night vision is really great quality the video is pretty high red it seems it's going the trajectory of a learning product like the mess thermostat when activity is detected ask you to help it learn by tagging what the motion was sunlight reflection etc overall the same simplicity that makes a thought free system is what limits its control and customization currently there is no connectivity to other smart home devices like the z-wave wink hub etc there's no battery backup $250.00 is kind of a lot of money for a one camera system certainly feels like a beta product I experienced video playback hiccups slow servers seem to work well most of the time but I'd imagine these things will hopefully be screwed out in the coming months it'd be really nice to see some more controls in customization for example give me the option for a louder notification that would wake me up at night between these set hours or create custom monitoring zones like drop cam integration with other smart home servers if this mat recipes downloadable video files I feel the canary home security system is a simple soft free solution it might not be for tinker's or those who want full access controls to do unlimited amount of things but canary knows that and maybe they're trying to balance out the ease of use with the safety and security of giving limited control to the user it feels like there's possible feature proofing built in and I'm excited to see what the future holds of the canary thanks for watching and
