The Canary home alarm system is finally on sale.

The “Canary” super successful crowdfunding campaign (Canary), which in July 2013 on IndieGoGo scored almost $ 2 million instead of the required $ 100,000 , finally began to send the first copies of the device to customers. "Canary" is a home alarm system in the form of a single device, which is placed on a flat surface (table, shelf) and with the help of various sensors monitors changes in the apartment or house. In the event of an alarm, the system sends messages via the cloud service.

The device is equipped with an HD camera, infrared motion sensors, a thermometer, smoke and humidity sensors, and a siren. The developers claim that the system offline monitors the condition of the house and adapts to the activity of domestic animals, maid parishes and other periodic events, so as not to disturb the owner once again. The cost of the gadget is $ 250. In the case of a large house, the buyer can connect several devices to one network (up to four).

The implementation of the security system in one device, without sensors spaced apart in space, raises doubts about the reliability, and the internal paranoid is outraged by the presence of a camera, a proprietary cloud service, closed source codes and the inability to raise its own server for the device. Still, the developers managed to interest a fairly large number of people, as evidenced by the success of the campaign, and the additional investment received in the amount of $ 10 million.
