These premium plans will have a surcharge but are optional and contract-free.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With still over a month to go Canary have taken almost five times their target funding on\u00a0indiegogo so demand looks pretty huge for the device. \u00a0If you&#8217;d like to support the project head on over to the\u00a0indiegogo page from the links below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_96453\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jMp-bwkeF7E?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hardware<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HD Camera w\/ Night Vision Wide Angle Lens<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi Enabled<\/li>\n<li>High Quality Microphone Speaker<\/li>\n<li>Siren<\/li>\n<li>RGB LEDs<\/li>\n<li>3-Axis Accelerometer<\/li>\n<li>Motion Detection (Passive Infrared) Temperature Sensor<\/li>\n<li>Humidity Sensor<\/li>\n<li>Air Quality Sensor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Software<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Live Video &amp; Sensor Data<\/li>\n<li>Mobile Alerts \/ Push Notifications<\/li>\n<li>Bank Level Encryption<\/li>\n<li>Media Archive (Video, Audio)<\/li>\n<li>Learns &amp; Improves From User Behavior Guided Action Plans for Emergencies Manual Arm &amp; Disarm<\/li>\n<li>Automatic Arm &amp; Disarm thru Geofencing Trigger Siren\/Speaker Remotely Enable\/Disable Features &amp; Modes<\/li>\n<li>Enable Backup Alerts to Friends\/Family Customizable Privacy Settings<\/li>\n<li>Track Data &amp; Trends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/canary.is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">canary.is<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0: \u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/canary-the-first-smart-home-security-device-for-everyone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canary on\u00a0Indiegogo<\/a> \u00a0 : \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/automatedhome.com\/category\/security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More Smart Home Security<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 [Thanks Stubbs]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want More?<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ottomate\">Follow us<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AutomatedHomeUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Like us<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook, or subscribe to our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/automatedhome\">RSS feed<\/a>.
