There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Next is the problem with live view. The live view only shows snippets of pre-recorded clips of myself again tapping and adjust the Flex, so it is not live view. They should have just name it "last pre-recorded clip". Sometimes, it will just show that my camera is offline while my home internet connection is working flawlessly.
The battery lifetime is also of a concern. Thinking that the battery life was great or at least it could last at least 3 weeks with minimal usage was too demanding. In fact after charging the Flex to full bar and placing it at home (I just dumped it at a corner facing the wall without any recording because I was just frustrated over the performance), I received a notification on my phone saying that my canary is offline due to flat battery after 3 days I believe. If not for this notification I would have forgotten about this crap.
I bought this product on amazon because of the great promises by Canary advertisement and some of the reviews here, but sad to say I am not satisfied at all. This is the worse security camera I have ever owned and I'm going to throw it into the box and send it back. I believe this product is still not fully functional at this time. If you need a real working security camera, please do look elsewhere until they have sort out these issues.
Top reviews from other countries
Then the trouble started…..the battery life is utterly terrible. No matter what you do. You can operate these wired to power but the point of having wireless cameras is so you can put them where you need them to be - not just within 3 metres of a power outlet. Mine are deployed where they need to be, both are within about 4-5 metres of my router and are set up for minimal detections to maximise battery life (I am often away during the week for work).
These cameras take over 12 hours to charge - you’d assume battery life (especially on the settings I’ve used to minimise detections and prolong battery life) would be in the order of weeks. Yet both of my cameras last less than 24 hours. One of them requires completely removing from the app and re-installing every time the battery runs down, as a new camera. I have no idea why.
I have had weeks of interaction with Canary Customer Support, tens of emails with multiple suggestions from them - which basically amount to making sure I’ve plugged the charging cable in properly and not much more. I actually suspect the support emails are being received and replied to by a Bot of some kind because they are largely nonsensical, repetitive, don’t track the thread of the conversation and do not help at all.
I’ve done everything that canary support has asked me to do - including forcing the cameras onto the 2.4Ghz SSID of my router which they said would fix things, (I knew it wouldn’t but did it anyway) but that actually made things even worse.
I am now going round in circles with their support emails and have had enough - I will be returning these cameras for a refund as they are simply not fit for purpose at all. It’s a shame because for the brief amount of time that they are up and running, their ability to detect motion and narrow it to people is great and the IR night vision mode is not bad at all
System can not be trusted as a security system.
Canary system is not reliable. About 20% of the time the system will not detect if users are in the house or out of the radius geofence location.
Very frustrating, required lot of time to play with the app and locations in order to find users location and work properly.
Nice toy. Not reliable.
