How can I adjust the recording range of my Canary Flex?

Important: The steps in this article have been updated to reflect app version 7.8.0, please update your app today for the best Canary experience.

Adjusting the sensitivity range of your device to a 'near range' can help conserve power, allowing your Canary Flex to record¹ for even longer on a single battery charge. Adjusting the sensitivity range of your device to a 'long range' will help capture additional motion, but you sacrifice battery life.

Please note that Video Recording is only available on Premium Service

To manage the sensitivity of a Canary Flex device: Open the Canary app. Tap the gear icon in the top right corner. Tap My devices. Tap on the Flex Device you would like to adjust. Tap on Battery Settings. Select your desired range of motion

The ranges are approximately Low 0-4ft, Medium 0-16ft, and Long 0-28ft. Height and placement of the device can have an effect on these ranges and what is captured as well.
