In practice
It doesn't keep up with the competition as a webcam or a security cam. The camera is slow at everything. The live feed lags
The notifications are delayed
And it takes awhile to learn faces
No cloud backup
Delay between event and showing in feed
No pan or zoom capability
Facial recognition takes time to teach in order to gain accuracy and can falter
The Netatmo Cloud only saves screenshots of videos as a backup. The videos are stored on the local MicroSD card and can be uploaded to your own Dropbox or FTP server, Netatmo recognizes people, learns with time, and knows when someone is home or has left,
There's no backup power. Without the MicroUSB plugged in, the Netatmo camera shuts down and disconnects, You can connect a power bank to move it momentarily to a different location, but you're still limited by having to place it flat on a surface. There i
Netatmo's Welcome stands slim and tall, and a little alone in the sea of smart indoor security cameras. The hardware looks a little different and the fact that it was released a couple of years ago might make it sound like a less than ideal competitor, bu...

I liked using the Netatmo Welcome Indoor Security camera. Setup was straightforward, it recorded identified faces, unidentified faces, and motion in 1080p (most of the time) whether it was daytime or nighttime. It has a 130° viewing angle and it records v...
Netatmo is best known for its Urban Weather Station, an elegant — albeit pricey — solution for monitoring indoor and outdoor weather conditions, so we were a bit surprised when we saw the company branching out at CES this year with the introduction of its...

Image quality is significantly reduced when your mobile device and the Welcome are not connected to the same network at the same time, Removing false or unwanted faces from the detected pool is a time-consuming process, Lag time in live video stream is th

The theory behind Welcome's approach to home security is a solid one, but it's muddied by inconsistent performance of its ability to recognize faces. That's presumably something Netatmo's algorithms will improve over time, and I certainly had no false-pos...
Affordable; easy setup; magnetic mount; rechargeable battery; night vision; twoway audio; deep IFTTT support
No HD video; no livestreaming, So which one is best?, Each of these cameras has its strengths, and that's why one might be a better choice than another, depending on what your need is. The Arlo and Homeboy are ideal for more unfettered deployment becaus
