Wi-Fi摄像头不仅仅可以录制视频-CSDN博客

The main purpose of Wi-Fi cameras is to record video, but that’s not the only thing they can do. Modern Wi-Fi cams are sophisticated pieces of hardware and they can do a lot more than simply record video.

Wi-Fi摄像机的主要目的是录制视频，但这并不是他们唯一能做的。现代Wi-Fi摄像头是复杂的硬件，它们不仅可以录制视频，还可以做很多事情。

This also means that if you’re in the market for a Wi-Fi cam, there are a lot more features that you’ll want to know about a specific model other than its video quality. Here are features that some Wi-Fi cameras have other than just video recording.

这也意味着，如果您在市场上购买Wi-Fi摄像头，除了其视频质量外，您还需要了解更多有关特定型号的功能。这是某些Wi-Fi相机具有的功能，而不仅仅是视频录制。

两路对话 (Two-Way Talk)

Two-way talk capabilities on the Nest Cam

Pretty much every Wi-Fi camera these days comes with a built-in microphone and speaker so you can use your smartphone and your Wi-Fi cam as walkie talkies of sorts.

如今，几乎每个Wi-Fi相机都带有内置麦克风和扬声器，因此您可以将智能手机和Wi-Fi摄像头用作对讲机。

The accompanying app on your phone lets you hit a button and start talking through the camera, and the person on the other end can talk back using the microphone on the camera itself. This is especially useful on video doorbells where you can talk to the person who came to your door (rather than actually opening and answering the door), especially if it’s someone who you’re not quite sure about.

手机上随附的应用程序使您可以按一下按钮并开始通过摄像头进行通话，另一端的人可以使用摄像头本身的麦克风进行通话。这在视频门铃上特别有用，您可以在其中与来门的人交谈(而不是实际打开门并接听门的声音)，尤其是在不确定您的人的情况下。

Of course, if this intercom isn’t a feature that you’ll use, there’s usually a setting that lets you turn off the microphone and speaker on the camera, but this usually will also prevent video recordings from capturing audio.

当然，如果您不使用此对讲功能，通常会有一个设置可以让您关闭相机上的麦克风和扬声器，但这通常也将阻止视频录制捕获音频。

面部识别 (Facial Recognition)

Most—if not all—Wi-Fi cameras can detect motion, and some take it a bit further to differentiate between people, pets, and other objects. But a handful of Wi-Fi cams can perform facial recognition.

大部分(如果不是全部)Wi-Fi摄像机可以检测运动，有些甚至可以更进一步以区分人，宠物和其他物体。但是少数Wi-Fi摄像头可以执行面部识别。

That is, these cameras can not only detect that a certain object is a person, but it can actually tell you who that person is, whether it’s your neighbor or the mailman, or someone else.

也就是说，这些摄像机不仅可以检测到某个物体是一个人，而且还可以实际上告诉您该人是谁，是您的邻居还是邮递员，还是其他人。

Not very many Wi-Fi cams offer this kind of technology, though, so your options are limited if you’re looking for a Wi-Fi cam that specifically comes with facial recognition. The same goes for video doorbells (the Nest Hello offers it), and that’s one product that would benefit the most from facial recognition.

但是，并不是很多Wi-Fi摄像头都提供这种技术，因此，如果您正在寻找专门带有面部识别功能的Wi-Fi摄像头，那么您的选择将受到限制。视频门铃也是如此( Nest Hello提供)，这是从面部识别中受益最大的一种产品。

语音助手 (Voice Assistant)

This one is even rarer of a feature, but it exists. The Nest Cam IQ, specifically, can also double as a Google Home Mini of sorts, allowing you to shout out voice commands right to the camera. So if you’ve been wanting a Nest Cam and a Google Home, you can kill two birds with one stone.

这一功能甚至更罕见，但是它存在。尤其是Nest Cam IQ，它还可以兼作Google Home Mini之类的功能，使您可以直接向相机发出语音命令。因此，如果您一直想要Nest Cam 和 Google Home，则可以用一块石头杀死两只鸟。

It’s the only widely-available Wi-Fi cam that we know of that has a voice assistant built in, but the good news is that you can buy a separate Google Home Mini or Amazon Echo Dot for pretty cheap. So a built-in voice assistant isn’t a huge deal, but it’s certainly a nice way to go.

这是我们知道的唯一内置了语音助手的，广泛可用的Wi-Fi摄像头，但好消息是您可以以相当便宜的价格购买单独的Google Home Mini或Amazon Echo Dot 。因此，内置语音助手并不是什么大问题，但这无疑是一个不错的选择。

警报系统 (Alarm System)

Another somewhat rare feature for a Wi-Fi cam is a built-in alarm that can sound if the camera detects any kind of motion.

Wi-Fi摄像头的另一个不太常见的功能是内置警报，如果照相机检测到任何类型的运动，警报就会响起。

The Arlo Pro system is a good example. Although the camera itself doesn’t have the hardware for the siren, the hub that’s included does all that heavy lifting. The Canary is another example, and the siren is built into the camera, although the whole setup is a bit larger than most other Wi-Fi cameras.

Arlo Pro系统就是一个很好的例子。尽管相机本身没有警报器的硬件，但随附的集线器可以完成所有繁重的工作。金丝雀(Canary)是另一个示例，并且警报器内置在相机中，尽管整个设置比大多数其他Wi-Fi相机要大一些。

As a lot of Wi-Fi cams are used for security purposes, a feature like this makes sense. Hopefully, more companies add this kind of functionality to future Wi-Fi cams.

由于许多Wi-Fi摄像头用于安全目的，因此这种功能很有意义。希望有更多公司将这种功能添加到将来的Wi-Fi摄像头中。
