Canary just s**** had them for 4 years wouldn’t recommend them to anybody now I used to be able to get a representative on the phone to help now you have to do it through email no more phone calls and now you have to pay for a membership or you can’t see what’s happening in the house so needless to say my cameras don’t really work much anymore they are a waste of money and time

I bought mine about 4 years ago, you could watch everything that happened, if you needed help with the devices you could call and get someone on the phone and they would help you. Now you can’t watch play back unless you spend money to get a membership and you will not get a representative on the phone you have to email them and they have 3 Days To answer you back when you tell them the situation they don’t understand which takes another 3 days and you go back and forth and now since I didn’t buy the membership the canaries very rarely work and they blame the connection but not their connection the cable companies connection that I have they’re no good night owl is the best camera system I’ve had them for about 8 years but I wanted to try something new for inside never will I buy another Canary or recommend them to anyone remember you can’t contact them by phone you have to email them and wait 3 days for a response and then when you respond you have to wait another 3 days for their response and it just goes back and forth so do yourself a favor and stay away from canary

Canary is not an alarm system since it has no siren to alert intruders. I was told by the company that the system only tells you when someone is invading your house. It sends a beep and a video. No alarm sounds. Therefore is not an alarm system. Lets assume for a moment that one is sleeping. It is 3 AM, someone enters the house and goes to your room. Then, the alarms sends a message to your phone that you have an intruder.

Me too! I have 2 all in one and 1 Flex and even though I have the notification turned off while I am at home, I still get notifications as though I am away from home. When I try to call for help all I get is a recorder. In the beginning it was great I was very happy and was recommending Canary to everyone telling family and friends how great it was. Now I hate I did their customer service is lousy I also regret buying these cameras.

I am experiencing this right now, had it since 2015, my subscription ran out few months ago due to me being home bc of surgery, I am back to work and called for another subscription, they tell me that my camera is no longer working and I have to pay for another canary,, so this camera was working fine, sitting on a shelf and now out of nowhere it no longer works when the only thing that changed was my membership. They are scam artists and I am throwing this out and going with arlo. I agree will never go back to them again.

So basically to get it to work right you will need to pay 20 a month then buy the unit and then is still is wonky as hell (in regards to software).

We bought a unit and were happy with it until the upgrade this fall. Now we don’t get any alerts when we’re away from home, it won’t switch automatically from home to away & vice versa. What a waste of money. And as people have mentioned, you can’t call them. I did reach someone by Chat, and they instructed me to delete and reload the app. Didn’t work. They said it’s an issue with the app or the phone, not the Canary. What a waste of money!!!!

What good is “support” when their hours are 8-5, m-f and you can never reach them. Ring and Arlo are far better solutions.

My husband is very ill and I bought this to assist keeping a watch on his movements It works for a few hours and then goes offline. It is not my internet service because we have enhanced our internet. It is horrible customer service A waste of money. Also they refuse to refund my money for the service
