NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - September 20, 2016) - Canary today announced several new products, led by Canary Flex™, the first and only indoor and outdoor, HD security camera that can be used wire-free or plugged in. Designed to be breathtakingly beautiful, inside and out, Canary Flex effortlessly adapts to any environment and is built to withstand the toughest elements.
Whether monitoring the nursery, backyard, garage, or basement, Canary Flex captures motion with vivid HD clarity, day or night, and sends intelligent notifications when unfamiliar activity occurs. An extended-life rechargeable battery provides months of wire-free use, and a weatherproof magnetic plug offers power from any outlet. Canary Flex stands upright or mounts easily and inconspicuously on a wall, and its innovative 360° magnetic swivel base enables effortless camera articulation and precise point-of-view positioning. Built to stand alone or complement multiple Canary devices, Canary Flex connects to Wi-Fi and streams live or recorded audio and video to your phone and integrates with the existing Canary app experience, no extra hardware or hubs required. Available in Snow White or Space Black, Canary Flex is simply the most advanced and adaptable security solution ever designed, with elegant symmetry and powerful technology packed into one discreet device.
"At Canary, we believe that the relationship between a person, their home, and the ones they love is a beautiful thing, and that it can be protected and enhanced by the tools we build," said Adam Sager, co-founder and CEO of Canary. "With Canary Flex, we created the most stunning, truly useful product in the Internet of Things, which will bring people into a new relationship with their homes and families and meaningfully improve their lives."
Accessories
Canary Flex is launching together with a range of thoughtfully-curated accessories that extend how and where you can use the device. From an outdoor mount that allows secure camera positioning to more playful solutions that are right at home in the kids' room, these accessories are designed with the same refinement and artistry as Canary Flex itself. New accessories include:
- Secure Mount: Secure Mount attaches to any wall or surface, inside or out, keeping your Canary Flex locked-in wherever you place it. A ball joint makes it simple to adjust the camera angle so you can always find the right view.
- Stake Mount: Designed to blend in, Stake Mount is perfect for back gardens or planters. Canary Flex easily snaps in place on the mount's magnetic base. Stake Mount likes sun, rain and there's no need to bring it inside during the winter.
- Twist Mount: Twist Mount takes Canary Flex to unexpected places. Cabinets. Railings. Tree Limbs. Let your imagination run wild. Wherever you can hang it or wrap it, Twist Mount creates smart vantage points for your Canary Flex.
4G LTE Mount for Canary Flex
The 4G LTE Mount for Canary Flex, connected by Verizon, and co-developed by Canary and Verizon, breaks the boundaries of where home security can go. Verizon's 4G LTE covers over 2.4 million square miles, so whether it's monitoring the creatures that lurk deep in your backyard, your boat at the marina, or guests arriving at the entrance of an extended driveway, the possibilities are far and wide. The weatherproof 4G LTE Mount cradles Canary Flex within a custom-designed, easily-mounted housing to provide full range of motion, allowing the camera to be easily maneuvered and positioned. Like Canary Flex, the 4G LTE Mount can be plugged in or used untethered and wire-free. Pricing and availability for the 4G LTE Mount for Canary Flex will be announced at a later date.
