As it is, that setting is located under the “Alert recording settings” for the Welcome camera. I would have preferred to see the setting that allows me to set a time interval to tell the Welcome camera whether I am “Away” or at “Home” here in the Profile settings right under the “Use my location to assist Welcome”. I can tell the camera to record videos of myself or not during the time that I designate. Long pressing on my image in the “faces detected” area, allows me access to my profile to change the settings. When the Welcome camera detects my face, it identifies that I am at “Home” versus “Away”. Experiencing a slight lag time of a few seconds is normal, as live stream is sent through an encrypted connection from Presence to your device.” This may also be the case with the Welcome camera. This happens with the Netatmo Presence Outdoor Security Camera as well which according to the Netatmo website, “Presence uses http Live Streaming protocol. When viewing any live activity going on in front of the camera, there is a few second delay in the live feed and also when a motion is detected. To view the live video streaming of the indoor camera, you must tap on the Play button in the middle of the video display. The third screenshot shows the view from the indoor Welcome camera and the last screenshot shows the view from our outdoor Presence camera. Viewing Live Video: By tapping on the Live icon just below the video, you can swipe left or right on the video display to view the view from your different cameras. Swiping up (or tapping on the “Up” arrow located in the upper right of the video display) will hide the “faces detected” screen. If it has not detected anyone in a certain amount of time, it will flag them as being “Away” from home. Once the camera has been trained to recognize each of the residents of your home, it will show you if it has detected them. Security App Home Screen: When you launch the Security app, the home screen will display whether or not any faces have been detected by the Welcome camera. Like the Presence, the Welcome camera also records videos locally and will save them in your Dropbox account or personal FTP server thus eliminating subscription fees.

It is able to tell the difference between individuals in our household and will alert you to an unfamiliar face or tell you that motion was detected if it can’t see the face of the individual. After having used it for a few weeks, I find that I like this camera too. Now I have the opportunity to review the Netatmo Welcome Indoor Security camera which has the ability to tell the difference between individual people with facial recognition. In addition, there are no subscription fees because all the video is stored locally and copied to Dropbox or your personal FTP server (if you set these up). I reviewed the Netatmo Presence Outdoor Security camera a few months ago and really, REALLY enjoy using it because it uses deep learning to tell the differences between people, animals, cars, and other motions thus virtually eliminating unnecessary motion detection alerts.
