Canary's Smart Device Keeps Your Home Secure

Canary is a home security system, but a departure from what we've seen before. It doesn't require expensive installation and works for homeowners and renters alike. Most of all, Canary's mission is to not only alert a person to intruders, but also provide a sense that all is well while one is away.

The hardware includes an HD Camera with night vision, a microphone, a siren, a 3-axis accelerometer, passive infrared motion detection, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor and an air quality sensor.

Canary launches on Indiegogo on Monday after more than a year of design and testing. It will cost $199 and additional service plans will be available for storing HD video long term and other opt-in features
