However, all of its features have been ripped away and it is a very expensive paperweight

I have 4 Arlo's on the outside of my house, and a fancy no-use paperweight (to quote another reviewer) inside my house.

The terms have changed since I bought this making it a pricey paperweight.

Skip this expensive paperweight.

Yesterday they rolled out an update that makes the Canary a very expensive paperweight unless you pay for there monthly subscription ($120.00 a year)

I used to love this device until they removed almost all the functionality for users that don't want to subscribe to a paid membership plan, so now it's just an expensive paperweight

These cameras have become expensive paperweights.

That makes this a very expensive paperweight!

I was a happy customer for almost two years and considered giving them a 5 star rating until they recently changed their policy and moved almost all of the features behind a subscription firewall...now the cameras are useless paperweights and will be difficult to sell.

If they go belly up I will have an expensive paperweight

Not reliable security system at all, just an expensive paperweight now

STAY AWAY!!!What a horrible bait and an expensive paperweight

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

Anyone want a couple of cool looking paperweights, cheap?

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

I love my Canary system and recommend I to people who don’t want to spend a lot of money on a security system and need something portable

n’t work really well for me.)Another beef I have with them is that there is no phone support, only chat or email.

n’t had any issue with connectivity yet

n’t provide masking capability with the flex.
