Customer service worked with me to solve initial setup issues. The app is easy to use and loads quickly for doorbell viewing. Way better than competitor brands I tried before.
Pricing InfoFree to download and use with basic features. Toucan Shield PRO plan at $2.99/month ($29.99/year) and ELITE plan at $9.99/month ($99.99/year) offer extended cloud storage, additional user accounts, and customizable recording lengths. 30-day free trial available for premium plans.
Purchased 3 cameras for different areas around my house. Excellent picture quality, solid build, easy installation. The cameras charged to 100% on the same day. Very happy.
App Store
Good all-around smart home app. Motion alerts are reliable and the two-way audio on the doorbell is clear enough for normal conversations. Cloud storage pricing is reasonable.
App Store
I mainly use it for the Toucan sconce lights and love the color control and scheduling. The camera integration is a nice bonus. Alexa voice control works perfectly.
App Store
Initially great with fast loading, but some recent updates caused live feed connection delays despite strong WiFi. When it works, the video quality is excellent.
Google Play
Solid camera app. The siren feature gives me peace of mind and the motion zones help reduce false alerts from passing cars. Easy to add multiple devices.
Google Play
Love this app! I have the doorbell and two cameras. Setup was a breeze with QR code scanning. The auto greeting feature is my favorite — visitors love the custom messages.
Google Play
Does what it needs to do for basic home security. The free 24-hour cloud is limiting but fair for the price. App can be slow to load sometimes on older phones.
Google Play
Good value for a wireless camera system. Night vision is clear, two-way audio works well, and Google Home integration lets me check cameras on my Nest Hub. Battery life on cameras is impressive.
Google Play
Replaced my Ring doorbell with Toucan and I'm pleasantly surprised. The app is more intuitive and the motion detection is accurate. Only downside is the 2.4GHz WiFi requirement.
