But now, with the new system, most of these controls are accessible on the keypad too, which is nice. I’ve been using a Canary since their kickstart beginning; I started with one All in One unit mostly because my hard wired home security system’s temperature monitor had been replaced a couple of times and still gave untimely and weird reports. I also wanted to see what was actually going on and found it invaluable when our house sat vacant for a year while my wife was in
medical treatment in another city. After my wife recovered we downsized into a small condo and now rely on two Canary All in One’s and a Ring Doorbell for our entire security there. The units were so inexpensive on Amazon compared to my first All in One, I bought three more All in One’s and a Flex to cover the front and rear entrances to my townhouse, garage, and driveway outside. I no longer have to wonder if the heat is working when we are away, if I left the garage door up, if the contents of the garage are about to freeze, did a delivery man leave a package on my porch, or if an unauthorized entry is taking place. Compared to the cost, maintenance, and
monitoring of professional hard wired security systems and the information they provide, the Canary units are inexpensive and I think superior!My personal feeling, this company is a guileful company. Originally, I had services that where free that you now have to pay for. When you sign up for the “Pay Membership” and go into your account on your phone or computer to see when it expires, credit card you used, type of auto renewal, etc. , it’s not available to you. You have to contact the company to find that out.

I am considering adding an NVR to my DIY NAS NVR system and this would be the perfect addition. PROS:Excellent image quality with 4MP camerasWide 3rd party camera support through ONVIF standardIR LEDs provide night vision capabilityGreat value for moneyCan record at 8MP 4K resolution, and output 4K over HDMICan record simultaneously to more than one hard drive for redundant storageUSB Backup featureLaView
will customise the kit to your exact needsCONS:NoneCheck Price on AmazonBack to comparison tableOther popular NVR KitsToo many compromises: Zmodo 1080p 4 channel NVR Kit with 4 1080p PoE cameras and 1TB hard drive NVR Features4 channel recording @ 1080p supportedPoE but with proprietary cables1TB hard drive included, max. possible is a single 4TB hard driveMotion detection with email alertsRemote smartphone accessIP Camera Features3 axis black colour camera2MP CMOS image sensor 1080p2. 8mm lens10m IR range, true IR cut filterUSB to RJ45 connectorWeather proof The Zmodo really has the potential to be the budget king, and challenge Reolink’s dominance at the entry level. Where do I begin?Bizarre design choices such as using a micro USB cable and camera connections instead of regular old network cables and RJ45 ports, and deceptive marketing which then calls this a “network cable” which it is anything but!I have never ever seen a “network cable” that has one RJ 45 end and a USB connector at the other end. Hi Steve, thanks for dropping by!I call these NVR kits the EasyDIY solution to home CCTV but my preferred option is FullDIY where I run everything off one small NAS box, my QNAP TS 253A. I have 4 cameras and the QNAP Surveillance Station takes care of my needs nicely with redundant storage and an OpenVPN server all for under $500. The QNAP Surveillance STation software hasn’t changed much in the last 3 years but its reliable and does the job. You can check out a live demo on this page. It should give you a
taste for the software. Synology is another option but I haven’t tried it personally.

Some systems store recorded video locally on an SD card or a solid state drive, while others
offer cloud storage. Locally stored video is a good choice for do it yourselfers on a budget, but you have to be careful not to overwrite video you may need later. Cloud storage makes it easy to store and access recorded video, but it can cost hundreds of dollars per year depending on your subscription. Some systems offer both cloud storage and local storage, and some provide a dedicated storage drive that gives you DVR capabilities with time lapse recording, which makes it easy to find a video event that took place at a specific point in time. All of the systems we've tested feature an app that lets you use your smartphone as your command center to arm and disarm the system, create rules, add and delete components, and receive push notifications when alarms are triggered. Most apps also allow you to do things like view live and recorded video, lock and unlock doors, change thermostat settings, and silence alarms.
