Fuseproject工作室再次与英国能源供应商British Gas 的姊妹品牌Hive合作,他们曾在2015年合作设计了一款互联网恒温器。
Yves Behar's design studio Fuseproject has created a cube-shaped indoor security camera that detaches from its base, which will launch at the Consumer Electronics Show next week.
Fuseproject has once again teamed up with Hive, a sister brand of UK energy supplier British Gas, for which the studio designed an internet-connected thermostat in 2015.
除了在美国推出恒温器外,贝哈尔(Behar)的团队还为该公司设计了一款智能摄像头。
一旦该摄像头监测到运动痕迹,它就开始自动记录。并向用户的智能手机发送提醒。
As well as now launching the thermostat in the US, Behar's team has produced a security camera for the company.
The Hive View device begins recording once it detects motion or sound, and sends a notification to the user's smartphone to alert them.
根据Hive公司的说法,家里的宠物不会影响影像记录的准确性,因为该摄像头只能用来探测人的活动轨迹。
该摄像头呈立方体形态,具有130度的视角,它可以从其细长的铝基底座上拆下,安放在家中的任何地方。
According to Hive, the camera can be set to detect people only, so that pets don't trigger the capture.
The cube-shaped camera has a 130-degree field of view, and can be dismounted from its slender aluminium base to be placed anywhere in the home.
"The lens provides a full 130 degree view with the spinning base, leaf-like curvature of the arm and camera attachment enabling users to cover the angle they want – meaning it will fit anywhere in the home and provide the recording needed," said Behar in a statement.
The camera cube sits neatly on a flat surface, or the base – weighted with zinc for stability – can be mounted on a wall using a screw-on plate.
The magnetic attachment system enables the camera to snap on and off the stand, while allowing power to flow between them while charging.
A circular array of LEDs illuminates to indicate battery level, while a small light glows when recording is in progress. The device is turned on and off using a "discreet" button.
摄像头外壳由塑料制成,整个设备由白色、香槟金或黑色、拉丝铜组合而成。
此外,他们还将之前的互联网恒温器做了新的改进,增加了与美国空调兼容的系统,加入了调节冷热的接口。
The camera casing is made of plastic, and the entire unit comes in combinations of either white and champagne gold or black and brushed copper.
New features have also been introduced for the thermostat, including compatibility with US air-conditioning systems, and a simple dial interface for scheduling heating and cooling programmes.
Both the Hive Active Heating thermostat and Hive View camera will be presented at the Consumer Electronics Show, taking place 9-12 January 2018 in Las Vegas.
The event will likely see the launch of myriad connected home products, following the debut of "first toothbrush with artificial intelligence" and a home robot that responds with facial expressions last year.
