A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software （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 them 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，ah，if it's your kids﹣﹣they don't know the difference，so they will warn you all the time．"
When family members enter a home，the new camera"recognizes"（识别 ） them and sends information to the owner's smartphone．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 smartphone．
That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Darrmen．He lives in Paris．
"On a Friday I was at work，atending 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 totaly 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 intruder （闯入者） later that day．

Poor Alice was very unhappy. "What a wonderful garden!" she said to herself. "I'd like to be out there - not in this dark room. Why can't I get smaller?" It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.
After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters.
But Alice was a careful girl. "It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles," she said. "What will it do to me?" She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice, like chocolate and oranges and hot sweet coffee. and very soon Alice finished the bottle.
"What a strange feeling!" said Alice. "I think I'm getting smaller and smaller every second."
And she was. A few minutes later she was only 25 centimeters high. "And now," she said happily, "I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden."
She ran at once to the door. When she got there, she remembered that the Iime gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but of course, she was now much too small! There was the key, high above her, on top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg. but she could not do it.
At last, tired and unhappy, Alice sat down on the floor and cried. But after a while she spoke to herself angrily.
"Come now," she said, "Stop crying at once. What's the use of crying?" She was a strange child, and often talked to herself like this.
Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it. and found a very small cake with the words EATME on it.
Nothing could surprise Alice now. "Well, I'll eat it," she said. "If I get taller, I can take the key off the table. And if I get smaller, I can get under the door. One way or another. I'll get into the garden. So it doesn't matter what happens!" She went on eating, but nothing happened.
