Only if the camera is disabled via the app does this indicate it’s not active, or you can opt to turn off the indicator alone. In practice if you have a cloud service configured, you’ll never see it turned off, even when all the event recording settings have been set to ignore. This is used to indicate the status of the device during setup, and lights up red when the device is being streamed video. Under the camera lens is a small LED light.
You can always add a larger one of course. This is fairly intuitive, but you’ll only see events up to the limit of your memory card’s storage before it starts to overwrite older ones.
Scrolling to the top of the timeline allows you to watch the live feed as well. In the security app any motion detection events will show on a timeline with either the type of motion, or a face if one was identified (known or not), with a thumbnail of the captured video at the top. This offers good coverage of a larger room when place near a corner, but would miss the near edges if placed more along the side. The lens offers a 130 degree field of view without any fisheye distortion.
#Netmo camera 1080p
The camera is a fairly standard 1080p sensor with night vision. You’ll want to adjust these over time anyway as you get a handle on what it reports and what you want to know about. It’s not critical up front as it only pertains to things like optional cloud storage and notification settings. The default settings will be fine to get started, you can adjust these later as required. The app will then discover the camera and connect it to your network.
#Netmo camera install
You then go to the URL in the quick start guide, which will get you to install the Netatmo Security app. You’ll need to create an account with Netatmo to login. Once powered up you’ll have a flashing light on the front of the device. You’ll need to decide on a flat surface to place the device where it gets both adequate coverage of the room you want to monitor (it’s designed to watch the entrance to the home, but you can have as many as you like) and access to a power socket. Setting up the Smart Indoor Camera was straight forward. This is data only, not PoE, so you’ll still need to use the Micro USB cable for power.
While WiFi is likely the most common means of connectivity, the Smart Indoor Camera also has an Ethernet port, so case be hardwired to your local network if you wish. Part of this is likely to allow for Wifi signal to penetrate, while the base, at least, is to prevent scratch damage to whatever surface you place it on, and also because the device runs quite hot as it uses the metal body as a heatsink. The camera itself is quite solid, with it’s metal body only broken by a plastic top and base. In the app the Welcome changes to the Smart Indoor Camera with a firmware update. This is the old name for this device, and the hardware is identical. You may note the ‘welcome’ branding as the image has on the documentation.
#Netmo camera free
This one is designed solely to be free standing, and it’s simple cylindrical design has no attachment points for any kind of hardware. Notably there is no mounting hardware of any kind as you would often see with other cameras. Apart from the device itself is just a USB power brick, a (fairly short) micro USB cable, and the quick start guide. The Smart Indoor Camera is fairly bare bones in terms of accessories.
