Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had two Canary cameras for about two years. At first, the purchase seemed like a good value due to reasonable security and convenient features such as night mode, air quality and temperature sensors, and decent motion detection and notification. However, with the October 4th firmware update, I was in for so much disappointment. Not being a paid member, I’m stuck with scaled down features such as removal of night mode and lack of record option in the Home mode. But worst of all, motion detection and alerts also seemed significantly scaled down as well. I had a contractor working in my house after the firmware update and the device didn’t even detect him nor sent me notifications. I also purposely set the system to Away mode and walked around the house to trigger some notifications. Moving around for about half an hour, I got one notification. Did they, in trying to decrease the amount of data being stored on their server cloud, purposely decrease the sensitivity of their motion detection? At this point, I’m shopping for a different home security system. Canary have successfully removed the security and convenience features that enticed many buyers in the beginning... Unless you are willing to pay monthly for full features, look elsewhere for a better security system.
