Netatmo Welcome Smart Indoor Security Camera – A unique indoor camera with facial recognition & great privacy

ByJames Smythe

While I have reviewed a few indoor cameras, they are never something I am particularly interested in for personal use. There are two people in our house, no kids, no pets, and I am anti-social. So, I don’t really want or need a camera pointing at me all the time. The Netatmo Welcome is different…

ByJames Smythe

I reviewed the outdoor Kodak PTZ network camera back in July last year, it was a good camera, but it was let down somewhat with the poorly designed software compared to many popular brands such as  Nest, Ring and Arlo.
