Withings Home

The Withings Home is an internet-connected camera that promises to be all things to all men. The health-focused smart device company is pitching the Home as a security camera that detects motion and sound in your home when you're not there, letting you...

If you're a fan of unique design then the Withings Home could be for you, but until the company fixes the apps and tweaks the sensors, there are better options out there.

Withings Home review: More than just a smart camera

Withings is better known for its health monitoring devices, but activity trackers and smart scales aren't the only pies it has its fingers in. The Withings Home is an HD camera with air quality sensors that allow you to monitor your home using an...

Beautiful design, great app functionality, brilliant features, zoom capability, cool night light, simple set up, no subscription needed to view data

Noise detection delay, notifications a little temperamental, can't adjust motion and noise sensitivity, data sometimes lost as cover supposedly shut, only one lullaby, no scheduling feature, picture quality not amazing

The Withings Home is a lot more than just a smart camera - it's the complete home solution it claims to be. It's a camera, a video recorder, a night light, a speaker, a one-song singer, a picture story teller and it will even tell you when you've...

Withings Home keeps an eye on your house and its air quality (hands-on) - Pocket-lint

Withings has clearly been busy in the run up to this year's IFA as not only did it launch a beautifully stylish activity tracker, but it also introduced

Withings Home review

Withings' HD video monitor has air-pollution alerts, wide-angle night vision lens and interior-friendly looks - but does it deserve a place on your mantelpiece?

Interior-design friendly ; Excellent baby monitoring ; Good picture quality

iOS only ; Overly sensitive ; Expensive

A good all-round option for home monitoring which excels as a (pricey) baby monitor

Withings Home review

At $200 -- £170 in the UK -- the Withings Home is priced to compete with the Dropcam Pro , the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro , the Icontrol Piper and other highly rated DIY cameras. (Availabilty and price in Australia is yet to be determined.)

Withings' Home has responsive push alerts and its air-quality sensor gives you ongoing access to carbon-based toxin readings.

This DIY camera doesn't currently have an Android app, a Web interface or the ability to save recorded video clips. The motion sensor is much too sensitive and its 1080p claims are questionable.

Extra features make Withings Home an attractive webcam or baby monitor, but its inability to store footage and a trigger-happy motion sensor maker it much less useful as a security camera.

Withings Home HD Camera and more

I visited the Withings stand at the Wearable Technology Show early in the year. You have already heard about their ‘health' watch, here something else that was on display at the show a camera to monitor your home but with an extra feature.

Withings Home

The Withings Home is an attractive surveillance camera that also monitors air quality, but it won't let you save recorded video.

Easy to install. Useful motion and sound alerts. Built-in air quality sensor.

iOS-only. Middling image quality. Cannot download recorded video.

Conclusions The Withings Home is a neat-looking multifunction camera that makes it easy to keep tabs on your home and protect the health of its occupants. It offers a couple of cool features, including time-lapse video and real-time air quality...

Withings' Home security camera puts bonus features above substance (review)

But, there's a problem: the core features that make these competing cameras so clever are partly missing from Withings Home. Yes, it has live streaming, two-way talk, night vision, motion, sound and even air quality alerts, but it can't record and save...
