  • In DISARMED mode, Canary still monitors your home and records video when it detects movement, but it won’t send you notifications.
  • In PRIVACY mode, Canary’s camera, microphone, and motion detection capabilities are fully disabled. Only temperature, humidity, and air quality information (also known as HOMEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY ™) is uploaded to the Canary Cloud.

Keep in mind that in both ARMED and DISARMED modes, you can stream real-time video, view and save video events to your TIMELINE, and check your HOMEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY™ data.  In PRIVACY mode, you’ll only be able to see HOMEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY™ information.

HomeHealth Technology

Air Quality: Canary assesses your home’s air quality— the number of contaminants in the air— and shows you what’s inside and outside the normal range for your environment.

Canary detects changes in air quality caused by pollutants including:

  • Isobutane
  • Hydrogen
  • Methane
  • Ethanol
  • Carbon monoxide
  • Cigarette smoke
  • Cooking odors

You can keep Canary’s air quality sensor calibrated by ventilating your home with outside air. Make a habit of opening windows or doors to let fresh air in and help Canary stay as accurate as possible. Air quality can also be affected by temperature, humidity, and seasonal climate changes in your environment. For more information on HOME HEALTH TECHNOLOGY™, please visit our Help Center.
