HOME SECURITY
Security and Peace of Mind Netatmo Presense and Welcome put you in control of your home, remotely. It’s never been easier to keep an eye on your property. Your smartphone puts in your hand a powerful link to your home. When tied to the Netatmo Presence outdoor security camera and the Netatmo Welcome indoor security camera, your phone can tell you what is happening on your property day and night, wherever you might be. OUTSIDE The Netatmo Presence is an elegantly designed, web-enabled combination HD security camera and floodlight that simply replaces any existing outdoor light fixture. Deep learning and a revolutionary algorithm inside the camera enables it to detect cars, people, and animals, and lets you choose which type of detection triggers a notification. Installation is straightforward, and a step-bystep guide is included in the box. If you prefer to see the installation in action, Netatmo has a detailed walkthrough video on its YouTube channel. Once the Presence has been installed, download the app to your smartphone or tablet and take control. From the app, you can control the Presence and keep tabs on activity on your property through live streaming video, captured at 1080p full-HD resolution. In addition to live streaming, you can watch footage of specific events that are within

your pre-defined parameters. A list below the video player provides access to each event in a clean and clear manner. Tap the event, such as an animal entering your property, to watch the full footage. Rotating the phone provides full-screen playback, and you can easily skim through footage. INSIDE The outdoor monitoring provided by the Presence provides great peace of mind, but knowing what is happening inside your home is just as important. The Netatmo Welcome brings revolutionary face recognition to your home with an unobtrusive design that can be placed anywhere without upsetting the eye. Its clean, slender lines and fashionable shape make it a stylish addition to any home, be it a modern apartment or traditional house. Place the Welcome at the main entrance of your home to record real-time images of family members—or intruders—entering and leaving. As with the Presence, an app connects the device to your smartphone, providing immediate alerts about what is going on at home. Training the face recognition is simple. Using the settings, the name of each family member or regular visitor can be registered as “known faces.” Once this process is complete, the device’s smart software gets to work familiarizing itself with what those faces may look like in daylight and darkness, as well as when the person is wearing accessories.
