I’m excited to share some big news from Canary. Today we’re announcing Canary Flex: the first and only indoor and outdoor, weatherproof, HD security camera that can be used wire-free or plugged in.
We built Canary Flex to extend our ecosystem, adapt to any environment, and withstand the toughest elements. Designed from the ground up, Canary Flex features an extended-life rechargeable battery and a weatherproof magnetic plug so you can use it however you want. The magnetic 360° swivel base enables camera articulation and precise positioning to monitor from any angle. Use it upright or mount it easily and discreetly on a wall.
Starting today, you can pre-order Canary Flex from https://canary.is

@iamtimhoover Will the Canary Flex be HomeKit compatible? I thought that Canary had announced that you were working towards that integration. Thx.
@iamtimhoover Nice one. From form factor perspective there there seems to be a desire from consumers to have a security camera that looks as such, what consumer insights did you draw from when redesigning the camera?
@kingsleyharris Our original Canary was designed to sit on a flat surface in a central area of a home. Over the past year we learned a lot from where and how people used the original Canary. People hacked their own mounts, covers, and even cellular connections. With Canary Flex, we extended our design language to craft a much smaller form factor that works with accessories to support many more use cases. Security has common themes, but everyone's definition is different. Their homes, families, and pets are unique. Our goal was to design a camera that could cover a home from every angle.
@chrisrowe Canary Flex won’t be HomeKit compatible at launch. We’ll be saying more about Canary Plus and HomeKit integration in the future. For battery life with average activity and video recording, expected battery life is 2 months between charges.
As a huge fan of the first Canary, this is amazing! I love this thing so much and saw it in IRL already - the industrial design is next level. This takes the company far beyond the competitors, just because they really thought of everything.
What a cute archipelago of innocuous recon bots to help build my panopticon. Srsly, looks better than @dropcam. @canary@iamtimhoover

I love the concept, but absolutely HATE the idea of cloud only device. By not providing a local storage/NAS option, companies like yours are leaving a huge door open for others (e.g., Hikvision, Amcrest) to come in and take away the market.

Does this have to connect to a hub like the Arlo does or does it connect directly to your wireless router?
As soon as we put down a deposit on our new dog, I went online and ordered my Canary. It's one of the best decisions we made. I love being able to watch our pup while I'm at work and get notifications if something happens. It's insanely easy to use and fulfills every promise it makes. Couldn't recommend Canary more highly.
Seems to have obvious advantages over Nest and such, but what about Arlo, Tim? I'd take my multiple hundreds spent on those cameras and spend hundreds on Canary if I knew it had something I really need: Wink integration like the 'regular' Canary has. Does it? @iamtimhoover
