Since we began mass shipping in January Canary has protected people in home invasions apartment burglaries cases of elder abuse and even arson attempts as well as created a more constant day-to-day connection between parents children and family members said Canary CEO and Co-founder Adam Sager In many cases these are people who because they live in apartments or simply because they don’t want the cost and complication of traditional security systems now have access to security for the first time Canary is addressing a universal human need and to us that is what it’s all about ‘
