Before you choose.
Do Toucan products require a monthly subscription?
No required monthly subscription is needed to begin using compatible Toucan devices with the Toucan app. Optional paid plans are available for customers who want additional features.
Should I choose one camera or a multi-pack?
Choose one device when you have one clear location to monitor. Consider a multi-pack when you need the same type of coverage at several entrances, outdoor areas or even two households.
What is the main difference between solar and floodlight cameras?
Solar cameras prioritize flexible placement without a nearby outlet. Floodlight cameras require connected electrical power and add bright lighting for stronger nighttime visibility.
