Stupid adverts pop-up

The app is basic and surely can’t cost much to manage. The cameras are not cheap, yet they Plaster the app in adverts of which you can’t even close without restarting the whole app. The desperation for a little extra income through in app advertising is pathetic and low.

Fixed the Issue Quickly

Customer Service responded promptly, clearly explained the issue I was experiencing, and resolved it quickly. The individual was knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire process easy.

This thing is TRASH

This is the worst camera and app of all time. It’s really the software that’s the problem - the hardware is decent enough but when you need to check on your dogs in your RV in the middle of a heat emergency, be prepared to wait for EXTREMELY LONG (and laggy) ads for trashy pay to pay phone games for AGES before being able to check if your pets are in danger. There is no way to exit out until at least a full minute or more has passed and not until
You’ve tapped into the App Store 2 or 3 times by being forced to look at the advertised game app in the store before being able to finally move on to see your camera. Usually the app has enough juice in it to show you the ads no problem, but the second it tries to load the camera it just crashes out. What an absolute piece of trash nightmare. Worst thing I’ve ever bought.

Its a trap

Avoid this scam. They have punished there early adapters by changing to a subscription model after promoting a change to the typical business model by being a free after buying the device service. Nothing but ad’s now.

Edit: The app is almost completely useless. Between the ads and just how it functions if you do not pay for a monthly subscription, you basically would have to be looking at the app 24/7 to see anything. By the time you check the app to see what any notification was about, it is either gone, as they do not save them, or what ever trigger the alarm is not in frame anymore. Then you respond with a giant ad that does not address any issue. At least the device holds doors open quite well, the only feature you do not have to pay for monthly.

FAQ

What does the Canary app do?

The Canary app works with Canary security devices to provide live and recorded video monitoring of your home. It sends intelligent notifications with video clips for unusual activity, offers automatic arming and disarming, and includes emergency response features. It also monitors indoor air quality, temperature, and humidity.

What are the key features of the Canary app?

Key features include live and recorded HD video viewing, intelligent notifications with video evidence, automatic mode switching (Away, Home, Night), privacy controls, the ability to trigger a siren, and direct connection to emergency responders. It also monitors your home's environment.

Is the Canary app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. However, it requires Canary security devices to function. There may be in-app purchases available for additional features or services, and the app may display advertisements.

What devices is the Canary app compatible with?

The app is designed to work with Canary's range of smart home security devices. Specific compatibility details for different Canary device models can typically be found on the manufacturer's website or within the app's store listing.

How does the automatic arming feature work?

The automatic arming feature uses your phone's GPS to determine when you leave or return home. When all members are away, it enters 'Away' mode for monitoring. When a member is home, it can be customized to 'Home' mode, and you can schedule 'Night' mode for sleep. The 'Privacy' mode turns off the camera and microphone.
