The Canary also monitors air quality, temperature and humidity and it comes with free cloud storage that retains the past 24 hours of recording form its 147-degree wide-angle lens.
Using a sample of the Canary provided by Verizon Wireless, I had the device set up and linked to my home WiFi in about 10 minutes. I pointed it as a window in my office where our dogs like to watch for the beagle from down the street and harass him on his daily walk.
I was sitting in a coffee shop when I got a notice that the Canary had detected movement in its field of vision. I checked the recorded video and, sure enough, the dogs were raising a racket at the window. Now if they deny it, I'll have the proof.
The Canary all-in-one home security system is available in black or white for $169.99 in the Verizon online store.
