Even though we live in a rural area in New Hampshire, I still worry about security in our home.  It’s just what moms do.  When I was given the opportunity to review this Canary Indoor Wireless Home Security System, I was thrilled.  It’s not everyday you can watch live streaming video of your home anywhere at anytime!  We own a Pet Resort which makes it even more fun to check on the pups before we get home.

The Canary Wireless Indoor All-in-One Home Security System helps keep your home safe and sound with motion detection notifications, a 90+ dB siren and HomeHealth Technology. It learns the cadence of your home so it can send you accurate notifications with fewer false alarms triggered by pets or other regular activity in your house.
Easy to set up: just place the Canary in a central location, plug it in and connect to your Wi-Fi
 

Before you get too far, be sure to set up the NETGEAR Router! 

Think you just CAN’T sent up this NETGEAR Router yourself?  YOU CAN!  The router comes with Geek Squad Set Up and Support via phone & web, for one full year.

What is The Geek Sqaud?  The Geek Squad service via phone & web allows customers to call or get help 24/7 whenever they want, vs. the need to schedule an appointment.

When you purchase this router, you will receive an email the same day (sent to your phone or address as designated), with set up instructions, in addition to the info included on and in the box!

About the NETGEAR Nighthawk R7300 DST Dual-Band Gigabit Router with DST Adapter:

This AC1900 router lets you enjoy a reliable wireless network. Beamforming technology delivers a concentrated signal straight to your connected devices, and three detachable antennas strengthen the signal even more. Plus, you can plug the included Dead Spot Terminator (DST) adapter into an electric outlet to broadcast a secondary signal to fill in dead zones in your network

The AC1900 comes with one DST, or “Dead Spot Terminator,” adapter – to eliminate your Wi-Fi dead zones; place it in an area where you get little/no reception, to improve Wi-Fi access. Additional adapters can be purchased for other dead zones.

This high-performance router was built to support 10+ connected devices – you can also prioritize devices for streaming videos or music, and included advanced features for lag-free gaming

Setting up the NETGEAR Router was very easy for me- mainly because my hubby did it.  We already had a similar NETGEAR Router and he showed me how to set it up the same way as our old one.  One thing we didn’t have was the Dead Spot Terminator.  We put that at the farthest point away from the Router for an increase in signal upstairs or even when my hubby is outside working in the wood shop.

I did use the Geek Squad service to answer a question I have had for awhile.  My hubby insisted our home phone had nothing to do with the loss of signal that happens occasionally.  But I was right- 

I asked if our 2.4 GHz wireless telephone would interfere with my wireless system.  

The answer: Yes. Any 2.4 GHz wireless phone can interfere with your wireless network. Normally symptoms will be sudden loss of wireless connectivity or drastically reduced speeds when the phone is in use. If this occurs, you can try changing the channel on your phone. 
 

Setting up the Canary Indoor Wireless High-Definition All-In-One Home Security System:

Stream live video from your home anytime: Canary’s free mobile app let you see what’s happening from anywhere with your iPhone® or Android smartphone.  As you can see below, we had a good time “catching” the furry intruders when they moved around in the living room.  
The app is very user friendly.  I was able to install it, set it up to connect to our Canary and we were live streaming in no time.  
One feature that I love that I just MIGHT have to use is the “Sound the Siren” button.  When we first installed the Canary, I was watching the live video from work while my son was getting ready for school.  I was so temped to push that button and scare him half to death.  But, I didn’t.  Instead, I sent him a text telling him “I can see you tying your shoes.”  His reply: “you’re creepy.”
