  11. Well I just set it up in my office. Packaging is very Apple-like with a minimalist instruction manual: Once the power is plugged in, iPhone connects to the unit with the supplied cable to link the user to the unit and network setup: I would give it 5 stars for ease of set up. Really good job there. The app is really the only way to change any settings on the device and is very well laid out for a UI perspective: The built in camera shows "live" video feeds but it's actually lagging by about 6-7 seconds. When thee is no movement, resolution is ok. But if something is moving there is some jitter and pixelation. That will hopefully improve over time. Portrait video of live feed: Landscape on iPhone 6+: The temperature and humidity sensors are working, but looks like the air quality assessment takes a day or two: I don't know if the combo of the Nest camera and smoke detector are better, but the Canary, as a brand new startup should give it a run for its money. I've tried out the siren and it can be turned on remotely and is very very loud. Was it worth the $250 (+$90 CDN duty/taxes)... Tough call. Probably not. But it's a fun toy for now. The camera can be disabled and there is an ability to record time lapse video to the cloud, but not sure I want to be stuck with a monthly fee. Build quality is pretty good with its used of brush aluminum. One gripe is the circular light at the bottom. In a dark room, it will really be annoying by and be a glaring beacon of the intention is for it to be hidden in the background. Overall, it works as promised which is more than I can say about other crowd funding projects.
  12. Definitely not dot matrix. Looks like typical offset printing to me. The rosettes are a normal fingerprint of 4 color offset printing
  13. Yeah. Having an Camera constantly connected to the World Wide Web does sound a bit invasive. I might just keep it at the office rather than at home. Will set it up tomorrow.
  14. ha. yes.. well worth the 1.5 year wait.
  15. plague
  16. yeah.. 1080p camera, night vision, motion detector, temperature/humidity, air quality (?), microphone, 90+ db siren
  17. correction. it was an Indigogo project, not Kickstater. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/canary-the-first-smart-home-security-device-for-everyone
  18. Well after backing a project on Kickstarter over 1.5 years ago, finally received the item today. Canary home security thingy. Built in camera, motion detector, etc etc. Not sure if this is better than a Nest-like product, but I guess I'll find out. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
  19. Alert
  20. Gilt Explorer dials from mid '60's have the Swiss T < 25 above the minute indexes. The matte ones were below from what I understand.
  21. +1. I keep forgetting how fantastic that insert is.
  22. greetings fellow Torontonian. Hope you enjoy your stay.
