Home Alarm Systems «Canary» finally gone on sale
Superuspeshnaya kraudfandingovaya campaign "Canary" (Canary), which in July 2013 on IndieGoGo typed instead sought $ 100,000 to almost $ 2 million , finally began sending customers first copies of the device. «Canary» - is a home alarm system in a single device that is placed on a flat surface (table, shelf) and through various sensors monitors changes occurring in the apartment or house. In the event of an alarm system sends messages through a cloud service.
The device is equipped with a HD-camera, infrared motion detector, thermometer, smoke detectors and humidity siren. The developers claim that the system is offline, and monitors the status of the house adapts to the activity of animals, chambermaids and other periodic events, once again not to disturb the host. The cost of the gadget - $ 250. In the case of a large home buyer can interconnect multiple devices on the same network (up to four pieces).
The implementation of the security system in a single device without sensors spaced apart, raises doubts about the reliability and the inner paranoid perturbed by the presence of cameras, proprietary cloud service, private sources and the inability to raise your own server to the device. Yet developers managed to interest a fairly large number of people, what is the success of the campaign, and received further investment in the amount of $ 10 million.
