Note: Night mode is restricted to Canary Members. To learn more about Canary Membership, visit canary.is/membership/.
Night mode (not to be confused with Canary's automatic night vision) is a schedule you can set to have Canary monitor for activity while you sleep with or without sending you motion-activated notifications. Alternatively, you can schedule your Canary to be set to private.
This mode is also configurable on a per device basis with the same options as Home mode, but has the added ability to set a scheduled start and end time. This schedule is set for every day of the week and is currently not further configurable.
Two important thing to understand about night mode.
- Your Canary will only switch to night mode if someone is home.
- Notifications will be silenced if your phone is set to 'Do not disturb.'
