Well, for a completely opposite opinion, I understand how hard a word hate is but I HATE Canary!
Started good enough a couple of years ago when I bought a Canary to monitor an unoccupied house I bought. Then I bought more of their products.
I always wanted a no-subscription setup to monitor my areas. So far so good.
Key thing to note on Canary is that you are not connecting to your camera directly. Your camera feeds the Canary cloud and then you view the feed from the Canary cloud.
Latency is horrible, as in MINUTES. And that is IF you can connect at all.
I've had a camera alert of a truck pulling into my driveway AFTER i see a man on my balcony, minutes later.
But worst of all, they are getting so greedy pushing their annual subscriptions that they've rendered their hardware nearly unusable unless you want to pay an annual fee.
Again, HATE Canary. Much better offerings out there.
