Netatmo is present today with a new version of its HomeKit external security camera, which adds an integrated siren to the device. Other features include a built-in security light and video recording options on a microSD card or Dropbox account.

Netatmo today announced the new hardware in a blog post. The company's newest HomeKit device is a minor general upgrade of the existing Smart Outdoor camera, it's just the addition of the built-in Siren. But this can certainly be a valuable addition for many who are looking to improve the security of their homes.

The Smart Outdoor with Siren has a 105 dB alarm along with the special features of its predecessor, such as HomeKit support, motion-based security light, microSD card slot, 1080p resolution and the ability to record images directly to a Dropbox account or via FTP (no subscription).

Here's how the new Siren works:

When a person or vehicle enters your property / home, you immediately receive an alert and a video on your smartphone. If he is an intruder, you can scare them by triggering the security camera alarm through the Netatmo application.

I have been using three standard Smart Outdoor cameras for about a month now and I was impressed with them. They have an excellent clean aesthetic, they are easy to install (wired), they were easy to install in the Home application, they have a solid video quality at 1080p and they worked constantly.

Keep in mind that there is no HomeKit secure video support here yet, but that could happen in the future.

The smart outdoor camera with Siren will be available today for pre-order for $ 349. The standard model without the siren sells for $ 299 (sometimes less on Amazon).

In particular, we are still looking forward to opening the smart videotape supported by Netkat HomeKit. If you are trying to choose one right now, be sure to check out our review of the Yobi B3 HomeKit ringtone that feels like the best option on the market right now.
