Netatmo Welcome:<br />
This camera promises<br />
personalized security, but<br />
its facial-recognition feature<br />
falls short<br />
BY MICHAEL ANSALDO<br />
MOST WI-FI SECURITY cameras are designed to look for people who<br />
aren’t supposed to be in your home. The Netatmo Welcome (netatmo.<br />
com/product/camera) is made to look for the people who are. The<br />
smart appliance manufacturer built this $199 camera around facial<br />
recognition and a personalized notification system that seeks not only<br />
to reassure you of your loved ones’ safety, but to improve its ability to<br />
distinguish between real security incidents and false alarms.<br />
In the real world, however, the Netatmo struggles to get to know<br />
your family, and it’s missing many of the features that other cameras<br />
in its price range deliver.<br />
