Hi, saw the Canary advertised somewhere and decided i need to get a camera for added security and to be able to check in on and talk to my kids after school. Here are my requirements.
1. Wide view at least 90 degrees. 120 would be better to see all doorways.
2. Text notifications to phone when motion is sensed.
3. Automatic record and ftp the captured video to my web server when motion is sensed or sent to a free cloud service.
4. Be able listen and talk thru the camera.
5. Be able to view live video anytime on my phone.
6. Be able to turn camera on/off with smartphone. Or at least the motion sensor so that i am not recording and getting alerts when i get home. I want to turn on the camera (alerts and motion triggered recording) when i get to work with my phone and then turn off on my way home.
7. Would like to buy thru Amazon (get 5%cash back)
8 Cost below $125. Obviously less is better if camera still does the job.
Any recommendations. The last two are not deal breakers. Especially #7, i would buy anywhere reliable for a good price.
