At eleven o\’clock in the night, the city\’s neon lights flash. Aunt Zhang stood at the door of her house, looking at the dark fingerprint recognition panel and worrying. The small cut on her finger from a kitchen knife prevented her from using her fingerprint to open the door for three consecutive days, so she had to ask her neighbors for help.

\”It cost more than 3,000 to install this smart lock. Who knew it was so impractical.\” Aunt Zhang sighed. In the community, there are many owners like her who have been \”scammed\” by smart locks.

Uncle Liu’s family has replaced three generations of smart locks: fingerprint lock, finger vein lock, and facial recognition lock. \”Every change is a big investment. Money really buys lessons.\” Uncle Liu shook his head with emotion.

With the rise of the smart home trend, the smart lock market has mushroomed. Data shows that China’s smart lock sales will exceed 20 million units in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 35%. In this blue ocean, traditional hardware brands and technological upstarts compete fiercely.

An unannounced survey of more than 20 mainstream smart locks on the market found that fingerprint locks have poor user experience in humid weather and weak fingers.

The R&D director of a well-known smart lock brand revealed: \”Biometric technology is changing with each passing day, and 3D structured light face recognition has become a A new benchmark in the industry. This technology can effectively prevent photo and video attacks, with a recognition accuracy of 99.9%. \”

Ms. Qian, who lives in Pudong, shared: “After installing the 3D face lock, I no longer have to worry about losing keys or leaking passwords. When the elderly and children come home, they can open the door just by looking up, which is very worry-free. \”

It is recommended to choose products with AI algorithm, high-definition cat eye, fully automatic lock body and other functions.

Market research data shows that during Double Eleven this year, the sales of face locks equipped with 3D structured light technology increased by 156% year-on-year. Consumers preferred smart technology brands, and the market share of traditional hardware brands continued to decline.

\”A smart lock is not only a lock, but also a smart housekeeper that protects the safety of your home. \”A well-known security expert said, \”In the future, smart locks will develop in the direction of multi-function and interconnection, bringing users a safer and more convenient home experience. \”

It is late at night, and Aunt Zhang\’s new face lock glows softly. Gently raising your head, the lock body automatically opens, and the warm door opens. . At this moment, the warmth of technology breaks through the night and gently embraces everyone who returns home.

As people in the industry say: \”A good smart lock should be.\” Exist like air – Let users not notice its existence, but it can silently protect the peace of every home. \”

Times are changing, technology is advancing, and the way to protect the home is also quietly changing. Standing at the threshold of the smart home era, everyone is looking for a Your own \”key\”

And this \”key\” will eventually find its most suitable shape in the intersection of technology and human nature.
