Canary All-in One Home Security System and Camera

Add Video or Image

Top Con

Requires a hack to properly work with Homekit

Out of the box, this product isn't Homekit compatible. However, you can make it work through a hack. See More

Top Pro

Air quality sensors can help provide a more comfortable atmosphere

There are sensors which help determine the quality of the air, including: temperature, humidity, and particles in the air. While it can't do anything about these itself, it is a useful tool for monitoring. See More

Top Con

No Apple Homekit

Top Pro

Great microphone clarity helps determine what is happening

The microphone is great, and captures crystal clear audio. This is extremely beneficial if there is motion detected, but then the subject moves out of the vision of the camera, as you can still somewhat tell whats going on. See More

Top Con

Lacks a speaker

While there is a microphone to listen to sounds, there is no speaker and thus this system lacks the ability to hold a conversation with the person on the other side. See More

Top Pro

Captures clear video even in pitch black

The Canary has a viewing angle of 147 degrees, letting it see more than competing products. The 1080p resolution is crisp, and allows for digital zooming up to 3X. There are 12 infra-red LEDs that work as part of the night vision to keep recording even after the lights have gone out. See More

Top Con

Must sit on a flat surface

This system will need a table or stand to sit on - there isn't an included wall or ceiling mount. You perhaps could fashion your own, however remember to mount it upright as the camera doesn't rotate. See More

Top Pro

Loud warning siren can scare away intruders

The Canary Security System is equipped with a siren which is rated at 90dB (similar to that of city traffic or a subway at 200ft). While not ridiculously loud, it should do the job to scare the heebie jeebies out of anybody not expecting it. See More

Top Con

Lots of false alarms

The motion detection is very sensitive - so sensitive that it only takes shadows moving or branches swaying in the wind to trick it into sending a false alarm. In the future Canary is going to add a sensitivity slider, however this hasn't been implemented yet. See More

Top Pro

Automatic enabling based on your phone's GPS location

The Canary can utilize your phone's GPS to turn on and off automatically depending on where you are (when you're at home it will enter private mode, but when you leave it will activate). If you live with others, all they need to do is install the app and it won't activate when they're home either. See More

Top Con

Expensive subscription plan

The free plan is limited - your history will only go back 12 hours, with 5 available bookbarks and you can download 3 videos. The $5/month ($49 annually) plan increases this to a 2 day history, 25 bookmarks, and unlimited downloads. For $10/month ($99 annually) you get 7 day history, 100 bookmarks and still get unlimited downloads. The most expensive plan at $30/month ($299 annually) gives you a 30 day timeline with unlimited bookmarks and downloads. See More

Top Con

No local storage

All of the recordings are stored directly on the cloud, and there is no local storage available. See More

D-Link Omna 180

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Can be used with HomeKit

The Omna 180 is HomeKit compatible. See More

Top Con

Breaks after update

The camera will stop functioning after updating the firmware through the Omnia app. Even after a successful update, if you ever unplug it and try to start it up again, it will do nothing and stay on a red LED. Trying to restore it using the button at the bottom does nothing. See More

GraciousBunjil's Experience

My second Omna which mysteriously stops working. Problem of not getting streamin video and the cam breaks down after attempts of reset. They become duds with only one functionality left: a steady shining red diode. The Omna clearly has issues on many levels. See More

Top Pro

Wide view angle

This camera is equipped with a 180º lens, allowing for a wide surveillance angle. See More

Top Con

Needs to be connected to a power outlet permanently

This model doesn't have a battery, so it always needs to be connected to a power outlet. See More

LearnedCeres's Experience

It breaks after the update See More
