Called Canary, it's a state-of-the-art home security system designed to be affordable for everyone.
The smart system, which essentially consists of a 6-inch-tall turret, connects to its owner's smartphone to keep an eye on what's going on in their home. It also has the ability to read the daily "routes" of pets within the space, preventing accidental activation of the alarm.
How does the... "canary" sing?
Canary connects to the home's wireless internet connection (Wi-Fi) so that it can sync with its owner's smartphone and send updates directly to their device, e.g. in case an intruder attempts to enter the premises. It can, for example, act remotely by activating the alarm to scare off robbers.
Furthermore, the system informs its owner if it detects any change in daily movements within the space, including sudden temperature changes that could indicate the outbreak of a fire.
According to the company, the "smart" turret houses a high-resolution camera with night vision capability, sensors (temperature, humidity, and air quality), passive infrared detectors, a microphone for noise detection, as well as a siren.
The owner of the security "canary" has the ability to choose the time or day of activation of the system, while depending on the program chosen, the appropriate sensors are activated each time.
Thanks to the system's connectivity with smartphones, he is able to monitor what is happening in his home remotely and be calm when he is away or on vacation for a long period of time.
The purpose of its creators was to create an economic system that offered security to everyone.
