千里望儿眼 荷叶/译 鲁珀特.普拉姆先生刚刚研制出一个很棒的装置。该装置使人无论身处何地,都能看到自己的孩子们。爱子的父亲可以在智能手机或笔记本电脑上看到用照相机拍下的孩子们的网络视频。网络照相机有遥控,还装有扬声器。因此,普拉姆或他妻子即使人不在城里,也可以在睡前给孩子们从书上读一个故事。 普拉姆先生是2010年开始这项设计的。拼装这个装置花了他大约五十英镑。“如果手机能上网,我在世界任何地方都能用手机看到孩子们。几天前,我身在伦敦,曾亲眼看着儿女入睡。”“有人可能会认为这有点‘老大哥’,但这个设计的目的只是想知道孩子们一切都好。网络照相机像一只闪烁的大眼睛,有点捉摸不定。但莉莉并不介意,因为她知道爸爸和妈妈在关注着她。” 该系统仅仅包括一个可摇控的有IP地址的网络照相机,还有与夜景连接的家中无线局域网。照相机通过内部网址传送图像,网络浏览器或者多媒体软件都可捕获这些图像。 普拉姆先生说:“这当然要比只能在超小屏幕上观看视频要便宜得多,也灵活得多。你可以通过任何屏幕,在任何地点观看到孩子们。这个装置不能替代保姆,但是当你离开家,又想看到孩子时,还真管用。我一定要把它推介给别的父母。我认为当我们不在家时,这个装置会使孩子们产生安全感。” 附:原文 Mr Rupert Plum has built a great device. The device lets him keep an eye on his children, wherever he is in the world. The devoted father uses a camera to watch his kids on a live Internet program on his smart phone or laptop. The webcam can be moved via remote control and has a speaker, so that he or his wife can read their kids a bedtime story even when they are out of town. Mr Plum started the project in 2010. It cost him around £50 to put the device together. “I can view it on my phone anywhere in the world if there is a mobile network connection. I was in London a couple of days ago, and I watch my son and daughter going to sleep,” he said, “Some people might think it’s a bit ‘Big Brother ’,but it aims to know they’re OK. The webcam looks like a bright eye which could be a bit freaky. But Lily doesn’t mind because she knows that mummy and daddy are looking out for her. ” The system simply consists of a remote-controllable IP webcam with night-vision connected to his home WiFi network. The camera sends the program via an internal web address, which can be accessed by using an Internet browser or media software. Mr Plum said, “It is certainly much cheaper and flexible rather than only being able to view the video program on a tiny screen. You can view it on any screen you wish and anywhere you want. It’s not a substitute for a babysitter but it’s really useful if you’re away from home and you want to see your kids. I’m sure to recommend it to other parents. I think when I’m not there, it makes our children feel safe.” |
