From the perspective of family safety, we have written about fire escape, earthquake self-help and typhoon weather prevention measures, and we have also talked about sound insulation from the perspective of privacy, but we rarely consider how to ensure that the pictures of family life are not leaked. Let's eliminate this hidden danger together today!
privacy protection? How hard is it? ?
there is a hotel in hong kong-twentyone whitfield 21st whitfield hotel, which looks like this. ?

The oversized floor-to-ceiling glass, with the bed near the window, is almost zero distance from Victoria Harbour. It looks very expensive and really expensive. The price per night is about HK$ 1,4, not including the service charge. ?
Because the scenery is so good, many online celebrity people are attracted to punch in, revealing all kinds of clothes to shoot private movies. The result was exposed by the news, and the glass of the hotel was not treated. The building next to it clearly saw the situation in the guest room, and you can take photos that are not suitable for children with your mobile phone.

privacy and safety issues not only appear in hotels, but also need to be considered at home. ?
Bill Gates and his wife bought 11 luxury houses around their own luxury houses, just to give families a "buffer zone" to protect their privacy. Now almost the entire Medina Peninsula near the lake is their property. ?

Apart from politicians, rich people and celebrities, ordinary people also need to cultivate this awareness, especially those who live on the first and second floors. People who come and go can see the indoor situation through the windows. Or a place where the distance between buildings is very close and the density of buildings is high.

? The window?
The window is the only way to ensure the ventilation and lighting of the house. The bigger the window, the more points will be added to the house. ?
Especially when it comes to floor-to-ceiling windows, you will immediately think of the bright sunshine in the morning, the warm wind in the afternoon, and the bustling scene of the city after nightfall. At present, No.432 Park Avenue, the most expensive and tallest apartment in new york, focuses on oversized French windows and 36-degree Manhattan landscape without dead ends.

However, windows are the weakness of building warmth, so friends in the north can't enjoy large floor-to-ceiling windows like those in the south. Some fans in Heilongjiang have commented that they don't like large windows, because it means more warm-keeping measures are needed in winter. ?
The windows we use in our daily life, whether ordinary glass, tempered glass, multi-layer laminated glass, bullet-proof glass ... although they are different in heat insulation, sound insulation and warmth retention, they are all transparent glass on both sides in essence. To ensure privacy, you need to attach something to the window. ?
? Living room, bedroom?
curtains are the easiest way ~ there is no magical principle, just cover them. ?
the gauze curtain can play a good shielding effect without affecting ventilation and privacy. You can choose to install only one layer of gauze curtain in the living room to ensure basic privacy and save money. In the bedroom, you can add another layer of shading curtain to create a good environment for sleeping. ?
the bathroom?
There are two simple methods in the bathroom. One is to choose glass with non-smooth surface, such as frosted glass.

Second, blinds/waterproof roller blinds, so you don't have to worry about opening the window for ventilation. ?

In addition to these two methods that are easy to realize in China, we often see a practice in American dramas and American movies, which covers half and exposes half.

However, this method is not recommended to be installed on the lower floor, because the residents of the opposite high-rise building can still see the situation in the house through the upper part. ?
? Kitchen?
what about the kitchen? It seems that few families have considered the kitchen window, which is actually ignored by most families in China. It may be because the kitchens in the past were mostly closed kitchens, and even if the kitchen window is big, it is ok to close the door. ?
However, with more and more families choosing open kitchens, we have to consider the weakness of the kitchen. ?
Because of the oil smoke problem, curtains suitable for bedroom living room and blinds for bathroom are not good choices. At this time, we can consider giving the outer layer window film to turn ordinary glass into one-way visible glass. ?
the most common way is to use a one-way perspective film (also called mirror mask), which is the common appearance of glass exterior walls in buildings. The market price is about 5-15 yuan/square meter. ?

the glass film of American 3M company is a good choice, and the company applied for the first patented technology in window film in 1966. ?
universal?
in addition to the different methods recommended for different regions above, there are some that can be used universally. ?
it is a common and useful way to replace ordinary screens with diamond screen windows, which is equivalent to wearing a layer of sunglasses on the windows of the house, which can not only prevent theft, but also ensure ventilation and lighting in the house. But when you look in from the outside, because the light is blocked, it is bright outside and dark inside, and you can't see the situation in the house from the outside, only a dark one can be seen.

In addition, it is a window guard that is popular in Europe, especially in France. It integrates sound insulation, heat insulation, theft prevention, privacy protection and beauty, and is exquisite and lovely.
how deep is the influence of French shutter culture? Let's just say that in Vietnam, window guards can still be seen everywhere in roadside houses. ?

neglected door?
I didn't expect that the door is also a channel for family privacy to leak. ?
I've watched too many social news, and I can always see such news as "The cat's eye is upside down in a couple's hotel, and men and women are being peeped". At this time, did you check if your cat's eye was installed backwards, and found that the installer installed it correctly, well, excellent! Then open Taobao and search for "cat's eye buster". When you see that you can buy a cat's eye peep mirror at a price of less than 1 yuan, do you still feel that your home is safe?

Let me share my own low-cost solution. Put a post-it note on the cat's eye in the indoor direction, and you can see it when you need it. When you don't use it, it is the simplest but most effective protective barrier. ?
In addition, some security doors have their own safety bolts with cat's eyes, and you need to open the partition from the room to use the cat's eyes, but I don't think it's as convenient as my way (proud face).

another effective method is the electronic cat's eye. ?
it integrates the functions of visual intercom, motion detection and infrared night vision, which is very safe and easy to use, and compared with other smart devices, it is really completely harmless to the home. ?
The cat's eye is the weakness of the whole security door. The old cat's eye can be unscrewed from the door and then opened with tools. We have written about it before and poke it here to review it.
smart devices?
There have been many discussions and controversies about the security of smart devices, especially the security leak of smart cameras exposed by CCTV in 16 years, which pushed these controversies to a high point, and the 36 water drop platform was closed because of the controversy. ?
In the third episode of the third season of Black Mirror, an English drama that I like very much (some translated as Dance of Black Letters), the male host recorded some of his little secrets because his computer camera was hacked, and the hacker took it as a threat, so the male host became a puppet of hacking crimes, and it was not an accident. There were many people who became puppets like the male host. ?
Although this is a brain hole drama, the problems reflected in it are actually in our lives. ?
We use smart cameras, the original intention is for the safety of the elderly, children, pets and finances at home, but the end result may be the active live broadcast of our family life. ?
On the one hand, the security of the smart device itself remains to be verified, such as how easy it is to expose the ip address, whether the password is weak password, whether the data transmission is encrypted, whether the data stored on the platform is safe, whether the user has changed the initial password set by the manufacturer, and whether the firmware has been updated in time ... On the other hand, what hackers and criminals will do under the drive of interests or hobbies is beyond our control.

? Summary?
to sum up, in order to ensure family privacy, from the perspective of the house itself, we need to grasp the weak points of the house (such as doors and windows), and from the perspective of ourselves, we should pay attention to every bit of life. ?
for example, do you have the habit of erasing the information on the outer packaging after receiving the express delivery and take-away? ?

have you carefully read the authorization agreement for every authorization of your mobile phone and other smart devices? ?
some people say, "with every smart device added at home, there is one more channel for family privacy to be leaked." What do you think?
