Well we would not say that we are better than Canary. In fact we think Canary is a great security device. The reason Butterfleye does not look like a hidden camera or discrete is because we wanted it to be more home friendly and serve other purposes than security for example to be able to communicate with your home and people/pets inside your home while you are away.

Really our technology is what makes our solution more advanced and convenient to use.

1. Canary is bound by AC power wires 2. Canary will not work if your Wi-Fi happens to stop working. 3. Canary will not work if you power happens to go out where you are located. 4. Canary will give false alarms as it does not integrate infrared technology into their motion detector. 5. Subscription fees are not liked by their customers and Butterfleye provides at least 24 hours of rolling storage for free. 6. Butterfleye will connect through 3 different protocalls WAN/LAN and direct stream so you can take it camping or in the middle of no where and still work.

On top of all this the way we monitor is more efficient as we don not record empty rooms and take up energy, storage, and bandwidth doing so.



Thank you very much for the details comparison!
