But what he doesn't know is this is a custom-built bait package that is recording him on four different cameras

然後他要在車上打開了

And it's about to unleash a pound of the world's finest glitter along with some other surprises.

但他不知道，這是個特製的整人包裹

But to understand how he got to this point first. We need to rewind a bit.

裡面4個鏡頭會把他錄下來

About seven months ago, I noticed a package being reported as delivered but it never arrived.

還有整磅的超細亮粉和其他驚喜，準備來個大放送

So when I checked our security cameras, I noticed this lovely couple out for a stroll.

要知道他怎麼來到這一步的，先讓我們倒帶一下

As you can see, they have backpacks on and they're just going around the neighborhood

約7個月前，我接到包裹送達的通知 卻一直沒收到

making an afternoon out of this.

我看了監視器 發現這對可愛的夫婦在外面閒晃

If you ever been in a situation like this,

可以看到他們背著背包，在社區走來走去

you just sort of feel violated. And then I took this to the police and even with the video evidence,

就這樣耗掉一整個下午

they said it's just not worth their time to look into - so then you also feel powerless and I just felt like

如果你也有過這種經驗

something needs to be done to take a stand against dishonest punks like this. And then I was like: hold up,

多少都會覺得被侵犯了

I built a dartboard that moves to get a bulls-eye every time. I spent nine years designing hardware that's currently roving around on another freaking

我拿去給警察看，但就算有影片為證

planet. if anyone was going to make a revenge bait package and over-engineer the crap out of it,

他們又說花時間去查這個不值得

it was going to be me.

這下感覺更無助了

So I started with a sketch and some CAD and then I hit up my buddy Sean who is really good with this type of

我總覺得該站出來，做點什麼對付這些雞掰人

small electronic stuff, and we got to work. Ultimately, when they open the package

然後我突然想到: 等等⋯

I just wanted to celebrate their choice of profession with a cloud of glitter because, I mean, who doesn't love glitter?

我做過一個每次都能自動命中紅心的標靶

That's easy. I could just do that passively with like a spring when it opens

而我花了9年設計的硬體

But I also wanted to record their reaction and that's what makes the engineering here an order of magnitude more

如今還在另一個奇葩星球上跑來跑去

difficult because if you think about it

如果要有人來做一款復仇整人包裹

This thing has to sit on a porch all day and it can't be plugged in and you have no idea when someone will come

並且把才能浪費到極致

And pick this up

那就非我莫屬了

so it's not like you could just hit record on the camera and then put it in the box because you're gonna run out of

於是我從草圖和CAD開始著手 再找來我的麻吉尚恩

battery and storage space on top of that

他對這些電子類的小玩意蠻在行的

I need some way to recover this footage in case I never get the big package back so after six months and lots of design

接著就開工了

Iterations and so much testing here's where we landed

最後呢，當他們打開包裹時

This custom printed circuit board is the brains of the operation

我想用一團團的亮粉

It has a built-in accelerometer

好好讚頌一下，他們在職業上的選擇

And when it's jostle that will check the GPS signal to see if it's been moved from the porch

因為呢⋯

and if so

是說，誰不愛亮粉呢?

It sends a signal to all the phones to wake up and start recording and I'm using four phones that have a wide-angle

這還算簡單的

Filming mode and are angled back and this 3d printed portion is contoured this way because it represents the field of view of the phones

我可以弄得很被動，一打開就像噴泉那樣

So as you can see

但是我更想錄下他們的反應

I'm guaranteed to capture their reaction no matter which way they open it from and nestled in here

整個工程反而變得更困難了

We've got a can of fart spray. No joke, you can clear a room with one spray of this stuff

因為你想想

so we made a cam on a small motor that sprays it five times and not only is this just a nice touch but we

這個要放在門廊上一整天，又不能插電

Keep repeating five sprays every 30 seconds until they throw the package out of their car or house

誰什麼時候會過來拿，你根本不知道

Before they realize there's four phones inside this

所以並不是只要按錄影、再放進箱子就好

Increases our chances of finding it because we always know the package location at all times due to the GPS on the phones

因為電池和儲存空間會用完

But even if we don't recover it all four phones have LTE data plans

更重要的是，我還得有辦法取回影片

So they upload the footage to the cloud so I can still see what happened

以防萬一包裹找不回來

And then for the pièce de résistance we have a cup here on top that spins from a motor underneath

經過6個月大量的設計、改良跟無數的測試後

So once you load in a but ton of the world's finest glitter the motor spins really fast and the centrifugal force

成果就在這

Fires it evenly in all directions. Let me cut holes on the side of the lid and cover them with one-way film

這個自製印刷電路板，是這場行動的主腦

so two of the cameras can see them as they walked away and then finally to make it look like an actual delivered package we

它有內建的加速度計

Added some shrink wrap and a delivery label

受到觸發時，就會檢查GPS信號

Which is perhaps my favorite part of the whole thing because if the thief wasn't in such a hurry

看包裹是否被移走了

They'd see that the package is actually coming from my childhood hero and inspiration for this project Kevin McCallister. I

是的話就會送出信號、喚醒所有手機開始錄影

Even looked up and amusing the address of the actual house

我用了4支能廣角攝影的手機

They filmed the movie in and of course it's being shipped to his boys

並且向後斜放

Harry and Marv and there's a charge port in the bottom because if it doesn't get stolen in a given day I can bring it

而3D列印的部分外型會這樣，是為了呈現手機的視野

In and then recharge all the batteries in the system overnight

所以你看

So the idea is the bad guy comes and takes it off your porch then lifts the lid and these two limit switches

這樣就保證不管從哪邊打開 都能捕捉到他們的反應

Tell the circuit board brain inside that the lids been removed

這裡呢，我們還有一罐臭屁噴霧

and then that sets everything in motion and I may be biased but sometimes a well engineered design is

不唬爛，只要噴一下整間的人就淨空了

beautiful

於是我們在小馬達上裝了凸輪，讓它一次噴5下

And because the phones have GPS we created a virtual geo fence around my house

這不但是個小巧思

So I get a notification when the package has been moved off the property

而且是每30秒會重複噴5下

So I put it out on the porch and now all that was left to do was wait

直到他們把它從車子或家裡丟出去

Okay, so I was at work and I got a notification that the Geo fence we set up had been tripped

當然是在他們發現裡面有4台手機之前

So then I checked the cameras and sure enough. The package is gone

我們找到包裹的機會增加了，因為手機上的GPS

So I checked the GPS and sort of tracked it and it appears there in a car because they seem to leave my house

能讓我們無論何時都知道包裹的位置

Pretty quickly, but it seems to have stopped in a parking garage

就算我們不去收回它，4台手機還有行動網路

Which is where I'm headed to now and if you're new here, this isn't a prank channel

會把影片上傳雲端，我還是看得到發生了什麼事

So I am completely out of my comfort zone

重頭戲呢，就是這個在頂端會旋轉的杯子

And there she is

由底下的馬達做驅動

This is like recovering the black box of a crashed airplane it would still work

所以當你放入整噗的超細亮粉

even if I didn't get the box back that footage would upload to the cloud but it's just faster to plug the phones in so

馬達高速旋轉下，離心力會把它射得到處都是

I'm gonna go home and find out how this

馬達高速旋轉下，離心力會把它射得到處都是 (嗯，我知道離心力只是概念而已)

Somehow ended up here. So it appears he was walking down the sidewalk and then suddenly makes a hard left

我在上蓋側邊挖了洞，鋪上單向玻璃貼

Then he takes the package and gets in his car and eventually makes it to this parking garage where this glorious sequence unfolds

所以其中兩台相機，能看得到他們逃走的樣子

My car dude everything oh my god

最後為了要看起來像真的包裹

My friend Cece has also had some packages stolen so she has to leave it on her porch for a few days to

我們加上了收縮膜和運送標籤

So the moral of the story is just don't take other people's stuff

這可能是我最喜歡的部分了

Not only is it not cool, but on the plus side, you'll never find yourself in this situation or perhaps even worse this one

因為小偷似乎沒那麼趕時間

Who you had?

他們可以看到寄件人，是我的童年英雄

This video was all about protecting your packages from bad guys with this six-month over-engineered monstrosity, but lucky for you

同時也是這個計劃的靈感來源--

It's way easier to protect yourself from online bad guys

凱文麥考利斯特

Thanks to the fine folks at Nord VPN who also happened to be supporting this video as you know

我還去查了電影裡那棟房子的真正地址來用

VPN stands for virtual private network

收件人當然是這對哥倆好，哈利和馬文囉

so you could surf the web anonymously your

底下還有充電孔，因為要是一整天都沒人來偷

Location stays private and your data is encrypted and even though I'm not a bad guy with something to hide

我可以拿回家充電充個一整晚

I generate a spinning glitter cup of data online every day

整個想法是壞蛋從門廊拿走包裹、掀起上蓋時

which I would prefer not to be used against me like you reading a lot of the news stories lately and as a bonus if

這兩個極限開關 會通知電路板裡的大腦

You ever get a message about a video not being available in your country technically

說蓋子被打開了

Which is the click of a mouse your computer can virtually teleport to any country

接著所有東西就開始運作了

you want

雖然有點自誇，但有時候好的工程設計

cry an or view P n is the best because they're super fast with

真的超美的

Thousands of servers across the globe and they also have Apple and Android apps for mobile browsing which are free with your account

因為手機有GPS，我們在我家周圍設定了虛擬圍牆

So if you travel internationally or give in today's headlines, you're ready to start taking your privacy more seriously

所以當包裹被移走時，我會收到通知

You can go to Noor VPN comm slash mark Grover or use the link in the video description

在門廊上放好後，現在能做的只有等待了

for 75% off their three year plans

OK，我還在工作但我接到了通知

So, it's Nord VPN comm slash mark Grover

說虛擬圍欄已經被觸發了

And if you use the code marker over at checkout, they'll know I sent you and they'll give you an extra month free

我看了攝影機，確定包裹已經不在了

Thanks for watching

我看了GPS，大致上追蹤了一下
