Berlin, September 1st – Canary, a leader in the field of smart home security, will be demonstrating its innovative all-in-one security system at this year’s IFA. Only months after expanding into several important European markets with its flagship product, the company now looks forward to sharing its solution that protects and connects people with visitors to Europe’s premier consumer electronics trade fair IFA.
Canary is among the nominees for the UX Design Award and will also be represented at the IFA show in an exhibition. Furthermore, Canary Co-founder and CCO, Jon Troutman, will be presenting at the IFA+ Summit on Monday, September 5, to explain how the Internet of Somethings is changing consumer behavior both in the home and away.
“IFA is the perfect event for us to show our simple yet smart way for people to keep their homes safe,” explains Jon Troutman,“Canary takes a completely different approach to protecting the places and people we care about the most by providing meaningful information about what happens at home and empowering them to take action. We’ve built a product that meets a universal need and, as our expansion into 15 countries in just 15 months shows, is not bound by geography,” he adds.
The company currently offers the most advanced technology possible packed inside a single device. Its allin-one solution allows for a full-service security system to be set up in just minutes. And the system is quite successful: Canary has captured tens of thousands of burglaries and serious incidents across the world last year alone. The device includes HD video, night vision, and HomeHealth Technology™ to monitor an environment's temperature, humidity and air quality. The Canary app and different modes (Away, Home and Night Modes), on the other hand, enable users to customize their device easily, and to automatically arm and disarm it, or to completely shut off the camera and microphone. A 90 decibel siren and one-touch access to local authorities provide help in the event of an emergency, and users can track their video history in the timeline or distribute content easily with recently released sharing options.
When recording, Canary employs extensive security measures to protect private data. The company also recently launched HomeHealth Notifications, which alerts users to any unusual environmental conditions in their homes. For example, Canary sends notifications when the temperature, humidity, or air quality goes outside of a certain range. Canary also sends users notifications when the device goes offline due to a power or internet outage.
