Home + Security 4+

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.

I used to love Netatmo about a year ago. Their cameras worked well and I really enjoyed using their app; everything worked smoothly and I had no problems with software or hardware.
Then one day, out of the blue, my Netatmo Outdoor camera just suddenly stopped working. I tried resetting it and it was obviously turning off & on because I could see the flood light. But even after troubleshooting it about a dozen times or more, Netatmo basically said it was defective and I’d have to buy a new one. I thought about it for awhile but decided against it because the software started becoming terrible!
I get notifications CONSTANTLY now and is unbelievably annoying. The settings for the notifications used to work perfectly but now, no matter what I do, it notifies me of every single movement. I’ll sometimes have a hundred or so notifications a day now. It is so bad that I just want to destroy it.
Save yourself some time, headache, and money and get yourself pretty much anything other than Netatmo. It may work well for a bit but then their hardware and software will become terrible. I have tried out many other options and they are much better. Get a Wyze Cam if you want something cheap or Nest Cam if you want the best.

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.
