What is WELCOME?
1 Overview
1.1 Overview
WELCOME is a smart home security camera that recognizes faces thanks to its embedded
face recognition technology. WELCOME sends the name of people it sees directly to your
smartphone.
It works with a companion app (downloadable for smartphone, tablets or accessible on
computers through any web browser).
In the app you can:
- See who is home/away;
- Identify people and teach WELCOME to recognize them;
- Watch live stream;
- Play back past video events stored in the camera;
- Download your favorite video in your camera roll;
- Set triggers for video recording;
- Set triggers for notication sending;
2 How does it all work?
2.1 How does it all work?
When WELCOME is switched on, it lms continuously, without recording. It records
video footages only if it detects an event.
3 types of events can be detected:
1) WELCOME recognizes a known person;
2) WELCOME detects an unknown face;
3) WELCOME detects movement;
To detect those events, WELCOME processes in real time what it lms. This video
processing is done locally by WELCOME. All recognition data and video footages recorded
are stored on WELCOME, in the embedded micro SD card.
Once an event is detected, the camera uses Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) to send information
about the event to your personal Netatmo account: time, type and a small preview picture.
This feeds your WELCOME app's timeline.
When you watch a video from the app, you are accessing it securely, from the WEL-
COME camera, onto your smartphone/computer.
