Canary: Smart Security Anboxing

Everything is thought out to the smallest detail.

The Canary home security system became known in the middle of last year - then the project raised $ 1.961 million on Indiegogo instead of the $ 0.1 million requested by the developers. In fact, Canary is one of the most successful Indiegogo projects of all time. And this is easy to explain: the fact is that the device turned out to be really successful.

The Canary system stands out from its own kind, primarily by the fact that it can really be called “smart” - it reacts not only to various events, such as opening / closing doors, but also to unusual signals, for example, unusual opening times of a door in an apartment. At the end of 2014, Canary developers began to ship the first batch of the device, and a few days ago in Medgadgets, finally, came its own “canary”. Now we unpacked it and tried to configure it.
