Fantastic Outdoor Security Camera That Works Great and Looks Great!!!
I purchased the Pass & Seymour Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera to help monitor my home. Installing the camera was easy and no different from any other hardwired light fixture. I loved how Netamo added the wiring block to ease the wire connections. I set my camera up to replace a light fixture in the soffits near my roof. As a result, I hung it essentially upside down. Don’t worry; within the Netamo security app, you can easily have the image flipped over to show the correct orientation. Setting up the device was also easy; the camera found my wifi and connected without issue. The camera needs to be updated once connected. When I noticed it was updating, I gave it about an hour then returned and finished setting it up, including adding it to my Apple Homekit. These are very smart cameras indeed. It detects animals, humans, and cars; the app allows you to choose which to get notifications on and a zone in which to receive notifications. Overall, I am very impressed that the camera is attractive, easy to set and use, and well-made.Excellent job, Netatmo!

Presence – Some Good, Some Bad and a lot Ugly
Final Update 5/29/18Got a response from Netatmo. My unit is 4 months past it’s 1 yr warranty. No replacement and no parts to fix the thing. As I said below, I was an early Netatmo adopter but over several years the products (which I expected to last MANY years) have broken. My outside units consistently got water inside and have all failed while my indoor units (weather base, 2 indoor modules) continue to work. Very disappointed in the overall quality of the product.Update: 5/6/2018The Fresnel lens in the Presence spotlight broke a couple of weeks ago. I attempted to contact Netatmo support but that’s never been an easy thing, and so far no reply. The camera still works..with a plastic baggie over the spotlight. Even the spot works but I’m still disappointed in the support arena. I had the entire Netatmo lineup, Weather Station with wind unit, rain unit and additional indoor sensors. The outdoor unit got leaky after a few years and I retired it. The rain unit broke a post during a battery change. I retired that. The wind sensor leaked and corroded the batteries. I retired that. Only the two indoor sensors remain. I’m giving up on the Netatmo stuff.Original post:I’ve been using a Netatmo Presence camera for a week now. Here are some first impressions. I used the web browser interface in Windows 10 and also the Presence app in Android. I tried several browsers – Firefox, Chrome and Edge, with slightly different results in load time and failure rates. I’m not sure why but it was pretty consistent.In a nutshell:Given the Netatmo cloud issues if I hadn’t been able to set up an FTP server I would probably have returned the camera. All the problems I experienced appear to be software and/or server related, so I’m hopeful that they will be fixed over the next couple of months. Actually there’s a lot more good than bad.The Good: • The install process is actually quite easy. I’ve installed two. The first took about 45 minutes, the second just about 15 minutes. • The “build quality” of the unit is very good. The aesthetic is “modern” so opinions may vary. I like it and it works on my house. • The picture resolution is very good in the higher resolution mp4 files. • The “recognition” feature seems to be fairly accurate. I did get a vehicle mis-notification one night during some light blowing snow flurries. Still I’m happy enough with that portion. It identified a snow covered cat at night in light snowfall from 30 feet away. Pretty impressive. • The time from motion sensing to identification to notification on my phone took about 30 – 60 seconds. Satisfactory. • Live View streaming has a bit of a lag, but according to the Netatmo FAQ this is normal. “Presence uses http Live Streaming protocol. Experiencing a slight lag time of a few seconds is normal, as live stream is sent through an encrypted connection from Presence to your device. Videos recorded always provide beginning of the event” The good news then is it appears the Netatmo server is NOT involved in live streaming. • The camera has the ability to save files to an FTP server. If you know how to set up the server DO IT. Mp4 files will be saved to both the Netatmo server AND locally. This makes reviewing them easy and some of the more problematic issues below more bearable.The Bad: • I am on a 3mbps DSL connection. I have no other options. I have yet to successfully download an mp4 file from the Netatmo cloud service. This may or may not be related to my DSL speed but I routinely download files of much greater size with no issue. I’ve attempted to download multiple files in the 11 – 20mb range. Every download either fails outright or just hangs and times out. I sometimes get a “Bad Gateway” error 502. This would be a show stopper for me if not for the ability to do local saves via FTP. • I mostly can view the lower resolution “clip” in the web interface. Firefox seems to fail at this regularly, Edge fails less and Chrome loads most of the time. I DID NOT do extensive testing on a per browser basis. The resolution is certainly not what I get viewing the mp4 files in the local FTP directory. Again, I could not download a single file in any of the browsers or via the Android app.The Ugly: • If you want to review your clips at full resolution you may need an FTP server. • The time lapse portion is currently unavailable as ALL downloads from the Netatmo server fail.

La cámara funciona muy bien, tuve que requerir a un electricista para instalarla dado que se hizo una instalación de cero, pero no fue nada complicado y funciona genial.

cuando la quise usar para su finalidad salio fallada porque no se pudo configurar y hiciera su función siempre quedo la lampara encendida y el instructivo decía que debía apagar a 1 minutos después de conectarla y una vez que se apagara ya se proceguia a su configuración, así que no pude llegar a configurarla por ese inconveniente que ya mencione.el producto vino fallado, así que tuve que realizar el tramite de devolución con amazon porque el producto vino fallado, lastima porque es una buena marca yo tengo una cámara de esta marca y funciona a la perfección pero lo compre con otro proveedor así que me anime a comprar la misma marca de la cámara pero lamentablemente ese vendedor no sirvió. Lo bueno es que amazon respalda a sus clientes pero solo debe checar al vendedor y exigirle calidad en sus productos que envía.
