Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera with Siren Review - HomeKit enabled smart camera

[@ShaneCreates]

Great, honest review Jon. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to this camera gaining HomeKit Secure Videos support later this year. This might be one I'll have to add to my HomeKit setup...

[@HomeKitAuthority]

Thanks Shane. I am looking forward to getting it for the one on my back garden. However I have run out of HSV spaces now

[@ShaneCreates]

@@HomeKitAuthority UH OH! I haven't gotten there yet myself but I expect I will be soon enough...

[@myHomeKithome]

Thorough, Jon! It'd be great if they'd exposed the siren to HomeKit. I'd also like to see automated use of the siren based on time and motion.

[@HomeKitAuthority]

That would be cool!

[@liamgriffith]

@@HomeKitAuthority Has the siren been exposed to Homekit yet?

[@roberthiday3342]

Now that it is Nov 21, can you update this? What do you think of this camera with HomeKit now? HomeKit has been updated a lot, so what say you?

[@jj-hn2ll]

Good in depth video it cover's most aspects that are important

[@martindinicolino8227]

Great video, but what’s the viewing angle of the camera?

[@kevinm1887]

Great Review mate, your reviews are excellent. Regards the light, at night is the infrared light noticeable? I usually thought the human eye couldn’t see it but in another review I could see the light turned to a light red/purple hue

[@radon_alarms]

Why didn't you show us the Siren sound?

[@AshyB]

It's not Nettymo, its Net-atmo. The name is derived from the words Network and Atmosphere as per their first device created

[@HomeKitAuthority]

thanks for the clarification

[@RobWhittlestone]

Yes! It drove me nuts hearing him say Netymo time after time! You saved me writing this.

[@RODkITS43]

Great review just one small point the notification delay could be network related latency and not the camera hardware, however I will find out tomorrow as I have just received one today to review for Reevoo.

[@csllover]

Can you post your review?

[@waynerichardson8659]

great review. can you add an SD card to bump up the memory capacity or will larger cards not work?

[@jerrymarks8911]

My netatmo Camera burnt out after 3 years , no light or night vision . Emailed the company in France and they made me pay 55.00 to ship it to them and then gave me a discount on a new one. I wish I never called , I could have just bought something else . Another brand would have been cheaper and just as good . By the way this took Months to resolve !!!!

[@Bytenfeu]

Thanks you for the video, can you tell us if now, siren is supported by HomeKit ?

[@Trulte60]

Where to find "apple homekit sticker" on the camera? Thx

[@iancquinn]

Great video! I'm very interested in this camera. I'm curious what all gets exposed to HomeKit. I see the video and motion sensor but is the siren included? I'm curious if my Aqara sensor gets triggered and sets the alarm off in HomeKit if that would also make the sirens on these cameras go off? Thanks for the help!

[@KAZUYADOG]

How can you view live footage and recieve motion alerts.......while you are away from your home ??

[@ohnename1358]

EXTREMELY helpful thanks man

[@HomeKitAuthority]

Glad it helped

[@melklass4050]

I still prefer the circle view. But I might get the circle 2 as I live alone.

[@HomeKitAuthority]

The Circle View is a good choice

[@intheblinkofaneye3394]

Can I use the light as primary house light? That means that it is on all the time?

[@teodorkosev6227]

Can you give us an update on HomeKit for this camera?

[@CombuskenKid]

Does it only write to the ftp server when motion is detected or does it record continuously?

[@apogeemediamanagement1580]

After two years of having the old style cameras I have just had them taken out and replaced with Eufy. The first ones glass plate fell out after a year the second one stopped working and was replaced but then both started staying on after movement and recently the IR completely went on both units and refused to work. HomeKit would only allow them to be shown if my phone was on the same network and yet they worked when I was away from home. Hopefully they’ve fixed these bugs on the new units

[@HomeKitAuthority]

I have had my personal camera for 18 months and its been solid. Its a shame you had this experience

[@toneman8478]

I am very interested in this camera because it's made in France and the app is developed there also but 300 for a wired camera is crazy expensive. Are there alternatives to this camera that is not made in China that has 2 way audio as well

[@Fush1234]

We’ve had various Netatmo products. Eventually we gave them all up for other brands. There are way better available.

[@rapisard]

I wish there were the options to manually trigger recording and also to trigger recording with HomeKit automation. In many cameras using the camera sensor as trigger seems to cause missing of the initial part of a motion event that started far away from the camera. I would like, for example, to be able to trigger recording on all my cameras (independently from what their sensors detect) when an independent motion sensor inside the house is triggered or when the garage door is opened.

[@HomeKitAuthority]

This is a great idea!

[@tennsimpson8907]

Great review Homekit secure video will never arrive for this camera. Look at the doorbell.

[@HomeKitAuthority]

We shall see

[@antoniobruyneel3685]

Hello, you are speaking about your Homekit alarm system. Which devices are part of your alarm system?

[@HomeKitAuthority]

I use an Aqara hub and also have a siren connected to a smart plug that it is triggered by certain conditions

[@-JE]

Are you pretty certain homekit secure video is coming to this camera? I am looking for an outdoor floodlight style camera with homekit secure video and this looks to be the only option

[@HomeKitAuthority]

I would say based on the information I have been told it’s coming. But i would always caution that. I have only been told what they have announced via its own Twitter accounts. So my advice with anything, do not buy something based on a promise

[@liamconnelly1987]

Cheers for the review, disappointing really I think the presences are great I’ve got a couple like you have. Baffled that they didn’t include two way audio, bit of a pointless upgrade. I’m hoping the doorbell holds up to the hype

[@HomeKitAuthority]

Yeah, agree over the audio. Watch this space on the doorbell

[@shadow.banned]

What I'm hearing is that this camera is form over function.

[@adamberry8263]

Can’t see the point in buying this when the previous model is much cheaper

[@HomeKitAuthority]

That is an option

[@sligrayne]

Does anybody know the colour temperature of the light… Warm White or Cool White?

[@HomeKitAuthority]

It’s a floodlight

[@sligrayne]

@@HomeKitAuthority I know its a floodlight but the light will have a colour temperature in the Warm, Neutral or Cool kelvin range. I am only asking because I like to colour match lighting as best I can.

[@HomeKitAuthority]

It’s just a white colour option, Netatmo don’t specify as it’s not meant to be used all the time. It comes on for a brief period and then turns off like any other flood light

[@sligrayne]

@@HomeKitAuthority ok thanks for the information dude.

[@Candy-uo8sv]

As an electritian i do not approve the insulation on the earth conductor lol

[@techytime6197]

Nice review! But that siren is a waste of time

[@HomeKitAuthority]

Why do you think so?

[@Mari0o0o]

Still waiting for that doorbell...

[@HomeKitAuthority]

Aren’t we all

[@jasonstar9825]

Overpriced for what it is!

[@HomeKitAuthority]

It is on the pricey side, if you don’t need the siren then go for the previous model

[@D4nneee]

Only searched for this to hear what the siren sounds like and you didnt even include it. Thumbs down.
