    Canary Flex Indoor Outdoor HD Security Camera, Weatherproof, Wire-Free or Plug in, Works with Alexa

    • I love the camera and the air temp monitor but the air quality monitor has to be reset every week.
    • The app is great, and I feel like I have a modern security camera, accessible anywhere, at a reasonable cost.
    • Also, a bad guy can use a wifi jammer, available for about 5 bucks, to disable your cameras
    • Absolutely love the camera!
    • Absolutely love my camera
    • , so we saw first hand how well the camera and sensors work!
    • Inexpensive camera without the necessary monthly fees.
    • Great basic security camera.
    • the camera wont record a thing so the camera is useless
    • * Doesn't capture motion well and very finicky, e.g. the outside is visible through a large window and the camera shows it well when viewed the through the app, but if a person stands out the window, this camera doesn't register it, however if the outside lights are turned on or off, then this registers that as motion although there is no motion
    • The cameras work great, easy set up.
    • The camera itself worked great for in-home security monitoring with motion detection, home info, night mode, smartphone app etc
    • Bought this because it was a great camera with great features.
    • Camera and sound quality works really great
    • Great camera
    • I’m can go on, and on about how great this camera is.
    • We tried other cameras as well but I prefer the Canary
    • I did not feel comfortable putting a camera inside because it is always recording
    • The camera is phenomenal, not hazy, distorted or bland color
    • The camera range is wide, which I really like
    • My camera is nearly useless and it happened right as I flew out of state
    • I love these wifi security cameras
    • I am often thrilled at how well the cameras work
    • Understand it was a used-like new product but at least you would have bothered to clean the cameras a little bit
    • Great camera and not problem with it for over a year.
    • Love my Canary cameras!
    • Since their latest update the cameras are basically useless as they decided to take features away from free plan users like us, trying to force you into buying a membership
    • I enjoy checking on my dog while I'm at work and this camera is perfect for me.
    • The Canary camera was AWFUL.
    • Unless you want to purchase the membership for an extra few hundred dollars a year, this camera is only useful to watch live feed
    • I bought a Canary because the launch video I watched on YouTube touted its night vision camera, video recording, two-way audio capability, etc
    • room.you cant get access to your videos unless you subscribe, this was not the case when I purchased this camera, BAIT AND SWITCH!BUY SOMETHING ELSE!
    • The best home security camera and service that’s out there.
    • Great camera
    • I bought my Canary after the increase in price, and read reviews from a couple of people who are used to getting excellent service for free and are complaining in the reviews, but I wanted a really good security camera at a reasonable price, and the Canary completely meets my needs
    • No regrets in purchasing these cameras!
    • Best security camera on the market for home protection
    • Excellent camera system!
    • Canary is the most awesome home security camera you can buy and as far as their customer service goes it rocks
    • I bought the camera over a year ago and loved it
    • I love this camera, it's awesome
    • The Argus camera works great, but I wanted a camera that would work with my Amazon Echo Show
    • If all you need is a camera and are not trying to set up a smart home, this camera is fine
    • I know it’s the canary product because the other cameras I have have no issues
    • I love my canary camera and home health sensor!
    • I have used other (cheaper) cameras in the past but this one seemed much better, before i'd even turned it on, and looks and feels a lot nicer than some of its competitors
    • Canary cameras are easy to set up
    • This is a great camera for anyone that wants a little piece of mind when they are away form home.
    • The canary wire free camera is a great purchase.
    • So, if there's no net, there's no recoding, if a burglar cuts your internet connection, you've lost your camera
    • This camera (1) is ridiculous that you have to pay a monthly charge that other cameras for far cheaper you get the same features for free (2) the battery feature just plan old does not work
    • The camera is useless to me now.
    • Camera is pretty much worthless now.
    • Do you live in a cardboard box?), awful customer service, shoddy cables and outrageous membership prices, the one flex camera we have is also now not charging
    • plus is i already have the app, so incorporate a second camera should be seamless
    • The company has severely disabled this feature so that unless you are willing to pay for monthly membership, the cameras are worthless
    • n’t want a camera to be reliable
    • Performs many satisfactory camera functions
    • Great camera
    • After being robbed a few times, knowing I will have a clear camera shot of them next time is comforting and knowing I will know it's happening, while it's happening is even better
    • I love this camera.
    • Great camera and functionality, but as with all recent reviews, was very disappointed being forced to subscribe for content that was previously free, rendering the cameras useless if you don't have a subscription.
    • The rechargeable wireless camera works great, but you need really strong WiFi signal for it to work properly.
    • This camera is great
    • This would be a great camera if it actually did everything correctly that it claims it can do.
    • The cameras are big & bulky making them hard to conceal, and canary is slow to adopt requested customer features like integration with HomeKit, however they jumped right in bed with Alexa
    • The camera sucks!!
    • Camera is awesome - easy setup -- app works great also
    • Decent camera, easy to use app
    • Hope you enjoy the 10 second cameras you bought!
    • Looking for a great outdoor security camera and this one works great
    • The smart camera gives us exactly what we need
    • but if you are a prospective buyer looking for a reliable camera for security and peace of mind, go with Logitech and spare yourself of this company that just doesn't care.
    • You never know what they would do in the future to make you pay for the membership, probably will stop supporting your camera when they release a new version unless you PAID.There is a lot of other options out there, but NOT CANARY.
    • Camera is useless!
    • We recently ordered as we are traveling a lot for the holidays and we debated between a full security system or a smart camera
    • After the Oct ‘17 changes, the camera is worthless unless you also pay for their subscription service
    • Why should i spend $200 for useless plastic, when i can buy cheap camera for $50 and watch my house in real time 24 hours a day
    • At daylight the camera worked well, after 6 months outside the picture quality started to blur, 8 months later the camera stopped working.
    • At daylight the camera worked well, after 6 months outside the picture quality started to blur, 8 months later the camera stopped working.
    • The only thing I'd say the Flex camera offers over the other cheap Chinese cameras is better audio
    • Nice camera
    • When I had the original free membership I loved my cameras, they brought me peace of mind
    • Although the camera's picture quality and feature's really nice, I'm just really disappointed the company would do this to its customers that have already invested hundreds into the equipment.
    • I highly recommend that camera
    • Great camera with very useful features and really good picture quality
    • Cool camera to watch your home from your phone
    • Best camera ever
    • Overall, we like the cameras however, when Canary first came out, one of the things I liked so much about them is that they offered all of their features with no monthly fee
    • After this week, if you do not pay for a subscription, this camera is practically worthless
    • great camera.
    • Suddenly the company has decided to change that, gradually at first, and now making the camera next to useless.
    • Camera seems like it will work very well - worked well in testing.
    • Not a bad camera
    • This camera is unreliable for the purpose I brought it for my families security needs
    • Camera is super easy to set up
    • Now, I cannot even watch live while at "home", All I ever wanted was a nice camera that I could use to observe what was going on around my house while I was there and away, I never needed or wanted recording, now I have $400 worth of junk.
    • I primarily utilize the camera as a baby monitor, and the low-light camera is much better than any monitor we've used before (we've had motorola and samsung -- our little guy has broken a few...)
    • Great camera and functionality, but as with all recent reviews, was very disappointed being forced to subscribe for content that was previously free, rendering the cameras useless if you don't have a subscription.
    • They make a decent camera but sell it for significant dollars and then ask for nearly that amount annually for 30 day video retrieval.
    • Great quality camera.
    • Very nice security cameras, sends alerts when away, monitors, and has temperature readings , alarm siren, 911 setting, and a two way voice option .
    • Lastly, this camera has no support for alexa or home kit
    • So, I advice you to look elsewhere for another brand of cloud security camera, as now Canary devices are just overpriced simple web cameras, and if you want "all the features", then you can pay their monthly fees.
    • This camera is Uber cool
    • The sound on the speaker is not as clear but for the price, I love my camera.
    • First, the interior cameras work fine
    • the camera wont record a thing so the camera is useless
    • Wireless cameras, cloud based storage and the like are very dependent on "all systems go" to be functional
    • people don't waste your money in a camera that wont record for you unless you are a member.. there are cameras that will record up to a week for free this one wont event
    • I also like the option of expanding my camera network and will probably add cameras outside of my house as well.
    • BUYER BEWARE was one of the best cameras and apps out there
    • The camera works fine and looks beautiful in the room
    • The camera works pretty good
    • This camera is basically worthless now
    • If you want to buy this camera, make sure you know you will also need the subscription plan to get basic features, otherwise the camera is pretty much useless.
    • This very expensive camera is now completely useless to me
    • home).The camera and service worked great for the first
    • I really wanted a low maintenance and easily accessible camera that didn’t look out of place and
    • With the latest update from Canary all my 4 cameras have become useless and the company refuses to refund the money.
    • but, they are smaller than the Canary AIO, which is why I bought two of these and one of the Flex, which IMHO is the best camera on the market
    • It is a good looking camera that is unobtrusive, it doesn’t look like a camera at first glance
    • The camera works intermittently and some of the features are not enabled unless you pay for the membership
    • Good camera
    • Since it has changed, the camera has become essentially useless
    • Good camera
    • My $200 camera is now useless I pay for the monthly subscription
    • Great camera , captures great quality videos and sound
    • The camera used to be just overpriced at $200 when I purchased it
    • It can be used for live viewing, which I could buy a cheaper camera if I wanted to do that
    • Very good quality camera.
    • Works well as a security camera even on the free monthly plan.
    • What was done has essentially degraded my camera into nothing more than a paperweight.
    • Nice camera with good audio except it does have background noise nite vision works great indoors
    • I could sit here and ramble on about how terrible this product is but after owning three of their products, I can honestly say the Canary flex is useless and does not work as a security camera
    • I purchased Canary in August and loved the camera and its features
    • Love this camera, especially now that they added the talk and safe shield features
    • Just for purchasing this expensive camera
    • I even recommended this camera to family memebers
    • This was a very good Home Security camera; night vision, motion sensing, two-way speaker
    • Overall we love our cameras!
    • I really can't recommend this camera to anyone
    • Now my app keeps wanting me to activate a paid membership in which I was considering, but now have noticed my once HD video is now very crappy, the recorded video is now very short in duration, the camera goes off line often and now it just not work very well.
    • A few strategically placed highly visible cameras have also deterred trespassers from further committing crimes
    • This is irritating, but even worse the camera has been not dependable since the update
    • Loved the camera before the bait and switch
    • I don't have a problem paying for the membership as long as the camera works as intended
    • This does not work as an outdoor camera
    • The Canary camera was the easiest to set up and stay connected
    • Now this camera is useless, i can't even see anything in real time
    • There are a few things that need to be tweaked with the software, but overall it's a good security camera
    • I love the camera small enough but gives a great view of my apartment
    • The camera always lost connection.
    • Canary is by far one of the most reliable and most cost effective security cameras around today
    • I do really like this camera
    • I love this camera but it does require a subscription to store recordings for 30 days
    • Don't waste your time and money with this company - I recommend BLINK cameras - half the price, great quality and no subscription.
    • Very good security camera.
    • The Canary Camera is awesome
    • An they had a ok service with some additional futures when switching to premium and all of the sudden they decide to reduce the services with "Free subscription" (which is not actually free, is not a cheap camera!)Forget about full video recording, night mode or two way audio, for that you need to pay much more with a ridiculously expensive monthly superscription
    • Just got the product and it’s my first time with a smart camera in my home.
    • but I think Canary is the nicest looking camera on the market; it just looks better (less like a camera) in my living room than the other products.
    • I LOVE THIS CAMERA.
    • Camera works great with phone app
    • The Canary Camera has provided us peace of mind that our Mom is safe and needs being met
    • As you've probably read already, these cameras are basically useless now after the latest update
    • But what good is a camera if it so unreliable
    • It would have been best if I could have hung the camera from the overhang by my front door
    • BUYER BEWARE!I loved this camera for a year
    • Good home camera for security.
    • With the new update the the camera is useless
    • The camera on this device is fantastic, I have zero complaints about it, the quality and night vision are top notch.
    • After many recent changes to their app and service the camera is basically useless unless you plan on spending $100+ a year for their so called membership
    • Very disappointed that I wasted this much money on a worthless camera system from Canary.
    • This is just a really expensive camera now
    • One of the best indoor camera out there
    • Coincidentally, the camera that I have a subscription on is working fine
    • Worst camera ever
    • I would recommend this security camera to my friends and family.
    • Canary camera is easy to install and works great
    • Great camera
    • Without this subscription this camera is useless.
    • The camera itself is decent but unfortunately all Canary cares about is selling you a costly subscription
    • Love this camera
    • Great simple security camera with basic features if you want to use the free version
    • I absolutely love this camera
    • people don't waste your money in a camera that wont record for you unless you are a member.. there are cameras that will record up to a week for free this one wont event
    • Up until early October of 2017 every customer who bought a Canary camera had these services and I am sure that was a major reason for buying these expensive cameras
    • great cameras!!
    • Easy setup and use, great camera quality, and good app interface
    • I no longer can recommend this camera or this company because of this unethical behavior.
    • Great camera!
    • This camera works great, especially at night
    • Love this camera
    • Love this camera
    • Love our Canary camera
    • It is an excellent camera, but every 3 months Canary is changing their minds in the service that they provide
    • Excellent camera
    • I love my canary cameras.
    • Annoyed that canary is constantly changing their membership policies... the camera and app barely work.. considering buy cameras from one of their competitors because this company does not seem to value their customers
    • Camera works well in night and is motion activated
    • The camera was decent but knowing who runs the show,, I will NEVER recommend this piece of junk to anyone
    • I have recommended this camera to several friends & was about to purchase a flex
    • Other than the occasional outage, which is not often, I recommend this camera
    • This has got to be the worst camera battery ever designed
    • By far best camera for security!!!
    • It’s a great little camera to have
    • I made the mistake of buying two cameras - they currently give you 24 hours for your account so two devices cuts it to 12 hours, 3 cameras to 8 hours and so on
    • The camera is good, what isn't good is the software that comes with it, Online you cannot remove or delete anything... stupid, seriously stupid, so you have to use the phone app that again is difficult to delete , 3-4 clicks to delete, you have to actually click to watch to delete the video.we wanted it to monitor our handicapped daughter at night ,I have to literally delete 25-30 video's each morning, that equates to 100 or so clicks on my phone before done, I am going to have to move it to the basement area to monitor so it won't get more than 1 or 2 video's maybe
    • Excellent camera sensitivity and optics
    • The camera was decent but knowing who runs the show,, I will NEVER recommend this piece of junk to anyone
    • It's trash and ruined everything about this amazing camera when the company decides to bait and switch
    • if you are buying this camera be ready to pay $120 for a year
    • One of the best cameras for home security it has all I need
    • Verizon had to take this crappy camera back
    • Aside from this, the camera has a pretty sizable lag between event notification, "live" viewing, and the ever changing interface and features make this a less than desirable paperweight at this point
    • This camera is therefore useless without the membership and is very deceiving it what it had previously advertised
    • Amazing camera, good price and adds security to our home
    • The Canary camera maintains excellent clarity and footage
    • Great camera
    • A great inexpensive security camera for multiple purposes
    • I wanted to like this camera
    • Great little camera.
    • Love these cameras
    • Do not buy if you need a reliable camera with solid service
    • Great camera
    • This camera lowered my anxiety about the safety of my family.
    • Great security camera.
    • Great cameras, especially when you have elderly parents
    • The best camera for home security
    • I would recommend this product, unless you pay a subscription for thier service the camera is very limited
    • Also,this camera is not working and i believe it is damaged
    • The camera promises to be the best in the industry and from the functions it advertises it seems to cover everything.
    • I recommend the Canary, this is the best camera we have ever used!
    • Excellent the best camera I have had brilliant thank you, I recommend this product fantastic no problems.
    • We absolutely loved the camera, the features, and how reliable the connection was.
    • BUYER BEWARE!I loved this camera for a year
    • The cameras work great, the best we've found
    • The cameras work great, the best we've found
    • I used to recommend these cameras to family and friends, not anymore
    • There are cheaper, better cameras on the market
    • But what good is a camera if it so unreliable
    • Great camera
    • just an update scares me as well, as who knows what functionality will taken away next?Sad to say
    • The WIFI aspect of the unit does not work, and after several hours on WIFI the unit goes offline...therefore I have to keep it plugged into Ethernet, so I am limited as to where I can place the device
    • The app works as it should with about a 5-second delay, granted the internet can be spotty at my work (which is weird because it's a tech incubator)
    • My review will reflect countless other reviews, the Canary corporation performed a bait and switch, initially promising great home security, now charging the price of the device per year for what was included as a basic free for life feature.
    • but it's still not recording my motion as well as before
    • Dishonest company; Buyer beware as they may be going under very soon
