苹果正在认真布局智能家居领域。该公司周二展示了其全新Apple Home Collection，其中包括新款智能门闩锁、视频门铃、恒温器、温度传感器以及一系列安防摄像头。
Apple is getting serious about the smart home space. The company on Tuesday showed off its new Apple Home Collection, which includes a new smart deadbolt lock, video doorbell, thermostat, temperature sensor, and a range of security cameras.
这些新设备旨在与HomeView配合使用，HomeView是苹果的全新智能家居中枢，可用于控制连接的配件并与苹果软件进行交互。
The new devices are designed to work with HomeView, the company’s new smart home hub which can be used to control connected accessories and interact with Apple’s software.
这一系列智能家居配件有望帮助苹果更好地与亚马逊Ring和谷歌Nest竞争，这两家是联网家居安防领域的老牌玩家。产品将于12月上市。
This new range of smart home accessories could help Apple compete better with Amazon Ring and Google Nest, two established players in connected home security. The products will become available in December.
苹果表示，这些设备是与LG电子和施耐德电气合作打造的——这一举措对苹果而言颇具看点，因为该公司长期以来一直试图自行打造并支持每一款智能家居配件。
Apple says the devices were built in partnership with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric — an interesting move for the company, which has long sought to build and support every smart home accessory itself.
售价349.95美元的智能门锁因支持超宽带（UWB）技术而脱颖而出，该无线技术相比传统蓝牙能实现更精准的接近检测。这可能使门锁在授权用户靠近时自动识别并解锁门锁，减少拿出手机或伸手取实体钥匙的需求。
The smart lock, priced at $349.95, stands out for its support for ultra-wideband (UWB), a wireless technology that enables more precise proximity detection than traditional Bluetooth. This could allow the lock to recognize when an authorized user approaches and automatically unlock the door, reducing the need to pull out a phone or reach for a physical key.
售价249.95美元的有线视频门铃则能让房主看到门外是谁、监控访客，并在有人靠近其财产时收到通知。当有人按门铃时，苹果设备如HomeView、HomePod和HomePod mini会发出提示音。用户也会在iPhone或iPad上收到通知。
The $249.95 wired video doorbell, meanwhile, will let homeowners see who’s outside, monitor visitors, and receive notifications when someone approaches their property. When someone rings it, a chime will sound through Apple devices like HomeView, HomePod, and HomePod mini. Users will also be notified on their iPhone or iPad.
至于温度传感器，它能提供单个房间环境的洞察，帮助用户识别不同区域之间的温度差异并进行调整。
As for the temperature sensor, it can provide insight into conditions in individual rooms, helping users identify temperature differences between areas and make adjustments.
在安防方面，苹果还推出了室内和室外摄像头，以及一款售价399.95美元的防泄漏摄像头，该摄像头将外部照明与视频监控相结合。摄像头产品线包括实时查看、运动检测、智能警报和视频存储等功能。
For security, Apple is also introducing indoor and outdoor cameras, as well as a floodlight camera ($399.95) that combines exterior lighting with video monitoring. The camera lineup includes features such as live viewing, motion detection, intelligent alerts and video storage.
