Netatmo Welcome review: A near perfect no-hidden-fees indoor security camera with face recognition
Netatmo's approach to security cameras is refreshing. In a market that's filled with companies limiting what you can do with the hardware you bought just in order to get you to sign up for a monthly subscription, Netatmo asks only that you purchase its camera.
Your storage

No portability
There's no backup power; Without the MicroUSB plugged in, the Netatmo camera shuts down and disconnects, Limited placement options
