There are complicated home and office security systems that involve days of installation, professional monitoring and expensive gear, but the last few years have seen the rise of smaller and far less complicated systems that offer much of the same functionality but without the hefty pricetag.

One of the best of this new breed is the slick and well-designed Canary Home Security System, comprised of a motion sensitive video camera and software for your smartphone. That’s basically it, and with it you can monitor your home or office from across the country or around the world, getting real-time video snippets of any activity and being able to trigger an alarm remotely or call local authorities to respond to dangerous activities.
I demonstrate and explain in my video review of the Canary system:
