      Answered
      Sometime at the beginning of May 2024 I started noticing that my driveway canary flex camera recording was not working correctly the playback speed is too fast. I am unable to accurately view motion from my mobile device and laptop computer. I have been using 3 canary products in my home since 2020. I pay an annual service fee and I want them to fix the problem. They are aware of this glitch now going on 2 months and there is no date for repair or update. This is unacceptable for a company to not deliver what a customer is paying for. My repeated contacts to the company get "canned" replies about 1'The issue will be resolved in the next software update, and we do not have the exact date of the new software update release."I have been waiting for a fix since my original contact on May 3, 2024, 6:56AM EDT playback on video history has become extremely slow at loading. I have reset every camera and wi fi it is stuck clocking

      I felt it important to add my complaint about Canary and their unwillingness to work with customers regarding their very strict annual auto renew policy. I contacted Canary on my auto renew date asking them to cancel my subscription and to refund their pending charge for $139 on my PayPal account. As a senior citizen during this time of inflation it is hard to pay the $139 at this time. Last year it was $52. Canary customer service just repeats the same message over and over. If you dont contact us to cancel in the fourteen days prior to the renewal date you are out of luck per their written policy. This means if you try to cancel and get a refund on the actual renewal date before the pending charge even goes through you are screwed. I already replaced a year old camera with another canary since having problems with it. Why would I ever buy another replacement in the future or even expand to additional cameras when the economy improves. They say they send out a reminder 7 days prior to the due date. Why not fourteen days at the very least. This is what causes government to set up more regulation and oversight of companies. California has passed a law to help consumers with the annual auto renew debacle and hopefully other states will follow
