In all three cameras, you’ll still be alerted to motion, usually in under a minute. You might have a different experience, but either way, it’s a minor gripe in the grand scheme of the system. Though Canary boasts artificial intelligence person detection, I didn’t have the best luck getting any Canary camera to distinguish between people and animals.
