Good news for Alexians with Netatmo Security cameras! The French company has just announced the compatibility of all its camera models with Alexa. Taking advantage of the Berlin IFA to make this announcement, Neatmo specifies that software updates for its indoor and outdoor cameras will be carried out automatically and as of today.
An integration that is in addition to that of its weather solutions that we presented to you during the complete test of the Netatmo Weather weather station, But also Netatmo rain gauge test which gave us a bit of trouble. Before, perhaps, to present to you in test these cameras and their operation with Alexa, let's take a closer look at the two models available ...
Netatmo Welcome: protect your interior with Alexa
La Welcome indoor camera is reminiscent of the weather station for which the company is famous. It resumes in effect the tubular design modules of the latter, with a aluminum coating, but to gold color which makes it possible to differentiate the camera at a glance.
A smart digital eye since it is equipped with artificial intelligence allowing him in particular to recognize faces. Thanks to this technology of facial recognition, the surveillance camera recognizes your children or elderly parents and reassures you by sending their name directly to your smartphone. Finally, when hear an alarmwhether it is a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an anti-theft alarm or a siren, Netatmo Welcome send a notification and record a video. The good news is that you will now be able to view your feeds on your Echo Show, your Echo Spot and even on your Fire TV Stick!
Available at 188 € on Amazon. Fr, its brand new compatibility with Alexa makes it a more than desirable connected object, especially if you already have the weather station as their design is made to match.

Netatmo Presence: keep an eye on your exteriors
The French company has also thought about protecting the exterior parts of our houses with its Presence model. Unlike conventional cameras which notify you as soon as movement is detected, the camera Netatmo Presence distinguishes people, cars and animals. So you know in seconds if someone is lingering near you, if vehicles are entering your property or if animals are roaming your garden. You can also choose to be alerted when an individual enters your garden, but not if it is an animal. Not bad!
Finally, this security camera protects you thanks to the deterrent effect of its integrated smart lighting. Can be activated manually from the application, programmable or configurable in the event of an intrusion being detected, the projector of the Netatmo Presence camera scare away unwanted visitors but also helps you get home safely at night. The camera can thus simply replace exterior lighting. Nice, no?
Available at 249 € on Amazon. Fr, this attractive design camera is certainly a bit expensive but offers high-end services that will appeal to more than one and will allow you to display its feed on your Echo devices equipped with screens.
I don't understand that you were advertising Netatmo until they integrated the possibility of making scenarios with their weather station.
They made a skill that does almost nothing (quick and bad)
To our knowledge, this is the case with most compatible cameras. Is linked to Amazon or the brand? No idea. Now, this is not a test, we have not yet had the opportunity to try them elsewhere, just information that is in no way advertised because we do not have any special relations with them… We will soon be testing the Welcome and will not fail to underline it. 😉
It's a shame not to be able to do a routine on an echo when the camera detects a person. it's still a basic function .. 'hi there is something at the door' ..
We agree ... There is only Ring who allows that with Alexa To our knowledge. 😉
