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．"
