A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software (面部识别系统) that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package has been taken to their home, It can also tell if a stranger has entered their home. Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.
"The common security (安全) cameras at present are not that smart. So, they can tell you if something is moving but they don't necessarily know if it's a human being or if it's your kids—they don't know the difference, so they will warm you all the time."
When family members enter a home, the new camera "recognizes" them and sends information to the owner's smart phone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner's smart phone.
That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris. "On a Friday, I was at work, attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself' Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again.' But the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize." He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw." "I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on. I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable, frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way."
With the help of the video, the police found the thief later that day.
Mother's Day first began in America. A mother was very kind. After she died, her daughter wanted to remember her so she wanted to make a day for all the mothers. In 1913, America decided to make the second Sunday of May to be Mother's Day and every family had to put up a national flag to show their love to mothers. Later, it became an important festival to remember and praise(赞扬) all the mothers in the world.
In China, some people want to make our own Mother's Day. There is a famous story about Mother Meng. She loved her son very much and did a lot for her son. Chinese people think she was a great mother, so people want to make lunar(阴历的) April 2nd to be the day. Because Mother Meng's son——Mengzi was born on that day.
On Mother's Day, children often help their mothers do some cleaning and they also buy gifts for their mothers. Some mothers even go for a trip and have some other activities to celebrate this day.
