Netatmo Launches Welcome in Hong Kong, the First Smart Home Camera with Face Recognition

Netatmo, an innovative company developing consumer electronics for a better and connected lifestyle, announces that Welcome, the first smart home camera featuring revolutionary face recognition technology, is now available in 20 stores across Hong Kong.

With 1 in 5 people working more than 52 hours a week in Hong Kong, it can often be difficult to find time to spend with children, parents and partners. Netatmo brings Welcome to Hong Kong to encourage smarter living and offer peace of mind to those caring for kids, elderly or simply wanting to keep their home safe and secure.

The award winning product sends the names of the people it recognizes to the user’s smartphone. Its breakthrough face recognition technology puts names to the faces it sees and notifies the user when it detects an unknown face. The Wi-Fi connectivity offers users peace of mind while they travel or are away from home. The state-of-the-art home camera offers a full HD broadcast in vivid colours, an extensive 130° view angle and an outstanding night vision.

Welcome won four awards as part of the renowned “2015 CES Innovations Awards” in the following categories: “Smart Home,” “Home Appliances,” “Digital Imaging” and “Tech for a Better World”.

Welcome requires no extra fees

Welcome comes with all features included: smart notifications, video recording, video storage as well as timeline of events. There’s no contract, no fee, and no subscription required to use any of Welcome’s features. The full App use is entirely free. The product purchase price covers everything.

Welcome, designed to protect privacy

Welcome was conceived with the greatest respect for privacy, providing reassurance without surveillance. Privacy settings are fully customizable. For each family member, the user decides whether or not Welcome should send notifications or record footage. Parents are able to respect their adolescent child or partner’s individual privacy needs.

Recorded videos and identification data stay entirely private thanks to the camera’s storage, as they are not saved in the cloud. Furthermore, access to the camera from the user’s smartphone is secured by a bank -level encrypted connection to guarantee the highest level of protection.

Welcome, a seamless experience

Welcome’s setup is straightforward: the camera only has to be plugged in and paired to the free App, available with iPhones featuring iOS 8 and Android smartphones 4.3 and above. The user can access the Welcome App from their smartphone, tablet or PC/Mac. The dashboard screen displays every person currently home. It plays a live stream video sharing what is happening at home. The timeline screen lists past events and people detected by the camera as well as allowing you to review past videos.

Welcome, a revolutionary camera with minimalist design

Welcome is a full HD camera capturing stunning images under any light condition. Night vision is guaranteed thanks to Welcome’s powerful infrared LED. Its extensive 130 degree field of view provides unprecedented coverage.

Made of beautiful anodized aluminium, Welcome has a unique and pure design that blends seamlessly into any interior.
