Looking at the days passing by, the eldest daughter is now a grown-up. She got married when it was time to get married and bought a house when it was time to do so.

Have you started to consider adding some more modern facilities to your home?

Like a smart home.

This includes smart locks. I think that not only my home, but also many people will consider changing to a smart lock for their home. After all, security is a very important part.

Many people pay great attention to security. They think that having a better door lock at home can at least prevent some thieves from stealing things.

So for these consumers who need to change or want to try a new experience, it is very important to choose a smart lock suitable for their own family.

Then listen to me, you must grasp these \”5 aspects\”. They are by no means misleading, but the experience I have accumulated over the years.

Unlocking method.

When most consumers purchase smart locks, they focus on unlocking methods. They will find that there are many smart lock unlocking methods on the market, such as face recognition, fingerprint unlocking, There are voice-controlled unlocking, etc., and there are even some high-end and elegant electronic doorbells. In fact, these are all types of unlocking methods.

Then consumers will be curious, which one should I choose?

To be honest, it depends on your different groups of people to make different recommendations.

For example, the elderly do not know much about fingerprint unlocking and password unlocking, and they can easily forget their passwords, so they will be recommended by some businesses to use a software called \”face recognition\”. \”The unlocking method.

But it depends on God whether the elderly will be rewarded or not. Some elderly people have very unusual facial features., and they are quite unique, like some parts of the body are missing, such as noses, ears, etc.

This situation is generally divided into two types. One is that they have not been in good health for a long time, or they suffered from physical problems due to work reasons when they were young. Caused relatively large damage.

The other is that due to work reasons, you did not pay attention when you were injured, which resulted in your own physical disability, and eventually developed into a situation where you can no longer open the door through facial recognition.

Of course, whether this unlocking method is good or not depends on the situation of the elderly. Generally speaking, the elderly still like this face recognition unlocking method because they have never heard of it. Planting things will make them feel good, powerful and high-end. This is the biggest characteristic of the elderly. They are always more nostalgic for that generation.

But for young people, we basically don’t look at face recognition because it is too troublesome and sometimes the evaluation is not accurate. There will be many situations where the lock cannot be opened, which is inconvenient and a waste of time.

So we young people mainly focus on two directions, one is \”fingerprint unlocking method\” and the other is \”voice control unlocking method\”

But to be honest, \”fingerprint unlocking\”. It’s convenient enough, and there’s no need to think about such complicated “voice-activated unlocking”

Security performance

In fact, the smart lock is not very good in terms of security performance, because it does not cut a key as precisely as a traditional door lock. Ultimate, put this key in the door lock and turn it When it is opened, it will cooperate with the unique structure inside the door lock to open it.

So in terms of safety factor, smart door locks have lost to traditional door locks, so what should we do when purchasing. Which choice can minimize the loss?

Here we recommend the first choice of C-grade lock cylinder , the quality of door locks on the domestic market is mainly concentrated in the four grades ABCD from good to bad, among which grade A is the best, is it also the safest, grade D is the least safe, and grade C is stuck in The middle position is slightly inferior to level A, but better than the two levels of BCD.

In addition, there are some small manufacturers on the market who will mark the C grade to the A grade in order to \”pass off inferior products\”. This is very deceptive, so in order not to be deceived, we must go to regular shopping malls to buy. Do your homework before purchasing and confirm the brand and model with the merchant in advance.

Anti-theft function is also required, but not all merchants have this function, so When purchasing, we should ask the seller a few questions to see if the product he sells has an anti-theft function. If so, read the manual carefully to see how to use the anti-theft function and whether it has any effect. etc. questions.

Fully automatic and semi-automatic lock body working methods.

This purchasing point is not very important, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, I will tell you about it!

The main points on the market now There are two types, one is fully automatic and the other is semi-automatic.

To put it bluntly, the fully automatic working process means that after opening the door, it will finish its work without any subsequent operations.

But semi-automatic is different. It requires the consumer to perform subsequent operations by himself, so that it can complete the process of opening the door.

For example, if you go home today, you need to insert the key and turn it to open the door, but if you don\’t do this, then it will not do the job.

This is the biggest difference between fully automatic and semi-automatic locks. Nowadays, only a few places use the semi-automatic lock working mode, so we should try our best to buy fully automatic locks.

Additional features.

Some sellers bluntly tell consumers that these additional functions are useless to them, and also show ridicule to consumers who buy their additional function smart locks, but consumers know ?

These additional functions are really useful!

At least as a consumer, I feel that this additional function is not only convenient to use, but also improves it to a certain extent.security.

For example, with the electronic doorbell function, you only need to ring the bell, and the duty officer will receive a notification on his mobile phone. Therefore, when someone rings the doorbell, someone in your home does not need to be watching the door in real time. You can still know exactly who is ringing the doorbell at this moment, and everyone knows this person, which shows its convenience and security.

Of course, there is also a remote monitoring function, which is easier to understand. It allows you to install a complete set of surveillance cameras in front of your home at a very small cost!

Network status.

The networking status can be divided into two situations. One is that a physical networking cable is required, and the other is that it can be installed wirelessly at home and anywhere.

Moreover, these two network connection methods also have different requirements for the surrounding environment. This needs to be studied based on the specific situation, so I suggest you study it first and then refer to the surrounding environment.

The main purpose of the network status is to allow consumers to receive any dynamic information about their homes in a timely manner. For example, if a thief sneaks in your home today, you will receive an alarm message and you will see the message. After that, you can call the police immediately and let the police arrive at the scene of the incident to deal with it as soon as possible. This will not only stop the intruder from continuing to commit theft in time, but also arrest them.

Extended point of view

The above 5 points are just a little experience that I have provided you by writing this article. If the above method can help you choose If you buy a smart lock that suits you, your original intention will be achieved.

But the editor still has some personal opinions to share with you, that is, what may happen in the future with the development of technology. In this regard, when I write, my mind often wanders to the future, and this time I am the same.

Nowadays, artificial intelligence is inseparable from our lives, but in fact, for artificial intelligence, we There has been no progress for a long time, so I think some new technologies that may be implemented in the field of artificial intelligence in the future are likely to be applied to our daily lives, such as the field of smart locks.

Artificial intelligence technology is all around us It is everywhere. It can not only help us achieve a more efficient and convenient life, but also improve safety performance. This is something we very much hope to achieve now, and we hope it can be gradually realized in the future!

The second point is the technological interconnectivity brought by technology. Now our lives have become extremely convenient. We can use various mobile APPs to control our lives. Every part of the device has become extremely coordinated, which is the convenience brought by the Internet of Things technology.

So is it possible to develop a technology with such more powerful interconnection performance in the future?

I hope so!

The third point is environmental protection. As the times progress, we can actually feel the different passion and fun brought by the progress of the times, but at the same time, we are now responsible for saving It\’s important to take care of our planet for future generations, and it\’s never a good thing if our products increasingly impact the environment.

So if there is a smart lock that is environmentally friendly in the future, I will not refuse!

The fourth point is user experience.

Nowadays, when we buy products, we often pay attention to product performance, but a good user experience can also improve the ease of use.

Is the user experience friendly? I hope our merchants will make efforts in this regard!

The fifth point is to respond to the market demand for short-term rentals and the sharing economy. With the development of the economy, more and more people may move towards entrepreneurship. New demands are constantly emerging in this industry, such as the short-term rental sharing economy, and the market will make corresponding changes to meet these demands. I think that as new technologies are launched, corresponding products will also be available!

After briefly introducing these, do you think you have gained anything new?

I hope these can help you choose a good smart lock suitable for your home!
