Canary View review: This budget-friendly Canary companion also makes a great standalone camera

The Canary View is the third security camera in the Canary lineup, following the Canary All-In-One and the Canary Flex. Whereas the indoor/outdoor battery-powered Flex was clearly meant to be a companion to the indoor-only All-In-One, the View's place in the family is tougher to figure at first glance. Aesthetically, it's a virtual carbon copy of the original Canary and sports a nearly identical set of security features--all for a much more wallet friendly $99 than the All-In-One's $169. A side-by-side spec sheet comparison might convince you you're seeing double. Both the View and the All-In-One have a 147-degree field of view, 1080p resolution, motion detection, two-way audio, motion and person detection, and integrate with Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Wink, and Google Home.
