Canary Flex Review – Wirefree Outdoor Smart CCTV

ByJames Smythe

Following my review of the excellent Blink XT, I was quite excited to try out the Canary Flex.

Following on from the review of the excellent Y-Cam Evo indoor Wi-Fi camera we have the review of their outdoor Wi-Fi camera, which essentially offers all the same features as the Evo but in outdoor format.
