Let me know and we can investigate further.Charge time is affected by a variety of factors, but it should take around 4 to 6 hours. I suspect it’s being triggered far more often than it should be, but I’ve got it inside my garage for the time being with the sensitivity cranked all the way down. More devices equals less footage, unless you pay the additional subscription costs. The next step is placement. “Wire-free or Plugged-in: Extended-life rechargeable battery to power wire-free use or plug in for endless power.” conroy January 9, 2018, 1:23am #13. Can this be a faulty battery issue? My Canary Flex is currently plugged in to a power source yet it doesn’t appear that the battery is charging (according to the Canary App). I had been working on troubleshooting with support ( swapped power supplies with the other Flex and tried my Samsung fast charge adapter) but after the GFCI fault I exchanged it for a new one at Best Buy just to be safe.Any update on the battery issue, mine hardly works for a few days and has to be recharged, just got 3 new flex’s and all acting same.How long does it take to fully charge the flex battery? Maybe Support can confirm this is nominal behavior for the Flex…Just recharged the battery after 11 days and immediately I disconnect it after fully charging the battery it displays that it has consumed around 5% or more with out use. We’re still working out what’s causing the drain on the other one. Place it anywhere in your home for peace of mind when you're away, or to capture footage of your family comings and goings with ease.Nest Cam Outdoor is exactly what you'd expect, an outdoor camera with a similar cloud-based storage functionality as the Canary Flex. That's handy, as Nest only offers three hours of snapshots (without a Nest Aware subscription).One of the most appealing features of the Canary Flex is the battery life and the fact that it's capable of being used both indoors and out.
How do I improve battery life on my Canary Flex?
This new camera is designed to be versatile and easy-to-use. We think the app is well-designed and feature rich, having a battery on board adds potential flexibility for placement, you'll always get 24 hours of captured footage (which walks all over Nest) and if you subscribe for the 30 days of footage then Canary is cheaper than much of the competition.Those positives are great - but without the video quality to match its supposed flexibility is somewhat limited. All-in-all the Canary Flex is a simple, frills-free connected camera. If the device loses its connection to our servers while unplugged, the device will attempt to re-establish the server connection less often than it does when plugged in - this is in order to preserve battery life.You can also control the recording range of your Canary Flex.
Again, this one is only an indoor camera, but it is certainly well worth a look. As its name suggests, the Canary Flex is certainly a flexible device.
This activity was draining the batteries in a matter of days, leading me to strongly debate their battery life claim of “weeks” and “months”. I have tried and tried to charge it and it won’t. What is the problem or do I have to buy another one.What are your experiences with Canary Flex battery life?
