Unforeseen Costs
When I purchased the device, the company highlighted the fact that the camera would feed an in-app video log with full-length videos showing the activity occurring during that time. It was on the basis of this claim that I bought the device so that I could effectively monitor my dog while at work. It worked really well for that purpose.
Until they suddenly changed the terms of their free plan. Now, I see 10-second “summaries” (this means the first 10 seconds of whatever activity occurs) of activity, which is for my purposes useless. The only solution Canary provides is the “option” to pay $10/month for the “upgrade” that restores removed functionality.
