Review on 📷 Netatmo NSC01US - WiFi Enabled Wireless Indoor Security Camera with Movement Detection by William Santos

I was very happy with my Netatmo Presence so glad I bought it for indoor use. Unfortunately, this model has too many issues to recommend. Firstly, it looks like it is intended for monitoring entry points. If you place this in a high-traffic area, the app's timeline will be littered with thumbnails of people coming and going. This could be corrected in the application software by generalization, but it's hard to see as it is. Another big problem is face recognition. I was glad that I have a camera that does this on the device. However, this is not very accurate. I have to fix detections daily. Part of the problem is that the video quality isn't very high, so photos of people are quite grainy. Finally, there are some bugs in the app settings. I specifically set it not to record video or send notifications when there is movement. However, every now and then it chooses to ignore the setting and send it anyway. The camera covers part of the aquarium. When it gets into this state, notifications go off every few minutes and I have to turn off the entire camera. If this camera worked as intended, it would be very good. It sends notifications and records video when new faces are found, while keeping a simple log of known faces with no video. This would make it useful for security without undue privacy concerns.
