Home + Security

The detection and description detail and options for alerts are amazing! It’s quick to give me all the alerts I want on each of our specific camera locations. Our front door I chose to get alerts for people and in other locations I have any and all motion alerts set up in evening so I can feed a stray cat that came with our house when we moved in. Unfortunately I have not been able to catch it to make it an indoor cat, but at least I can feed the scared and hungry poor thing. That cat knows has figured out that sitting outside the back side yard camera will alert us to feed him, without attracting any wild animals. As soon as the cat is done eating and has left I get notified by the camera app so I can immediately pick up the plate. We were thankfully able to install these over 5 years ago where we use to have outdoor lights. I love this app and the cameras, excellent alert notifications!!! I wish it was more popular, because it should be!!

I shopped HARD for an outdoor smart camera. And finding one that was comparable with HomeKit was a MUST. I know the price tag is a bit more then a Ring or whatever else seems to be the mainstream gadget, but in this case you get what you pay for. I LOVE my Netatmo Prescence. So much more then I ever thought I would. Beautiful picture, fast live stream with no lag whatsoever. It also differentiates people, animals, cars, and standard “motion” and the notifications tell you which it detects. Not many other smart cams do this and the ones that do DO NOT do it well. Night vision is perfect. I actually prefer it to the light at night. It’s SO clear. Speaking of he light...it’s fantastic. So bright I keep it dimmed to a lower setting usually. Will turn on when motion is detected if preferred. I have SO many more things I love about this product but I’m going to wrap it up, before ppl start to think I’m a paid Netatmo employee or something lol, (joking of course, I really do love this product THAT much) and I’ll leave you with this last one, and it’s a HUGE one...this camera stores it’s data on a SD card, and it encrypts it! NO SUBSCRIPTION NECESSARY! I can’t tell you how rare that is. And of course, if you prefer, you can store the data (encrypted of course) onto Dropbox or another preferred cloud storage OR an FTP server. Never owned a Netatmo product before this. Took a leap and got it...best choice I ever made for a smart home device. Much love.

We have an issue with homeless people using an alcove as their bathroom. We installed this camera to monitor and detect when someone came into the alcove. We get an alert and use the app to sound the alarm. Be aware there is a 20-30 second delay from the time to activate the alarm until it actually sounds. We suspect this is more of a cellular issue than product issue. The other issue is the period we need the alarm to sound (off business hours) cannot be scheduled. Alerts can be scheduled, but the auto alarm cannot be scheduled. If it could, the lag issue would be eliminated. Hopefully a software update can be provided soon so the alarm can be scheduled to automatically sound during scheduled off hours.
