Smart lock does not understand these points, to regret
In recent years, Smart Locks have become the standard for entry doors. So how good is the smart lock? What to watch out for? How to pick a good smart lock? These problems, many friends even if installed the lock, have not yet understood, only after a period of time, to know whether it is good. However, once you find out that you have not chosen well, it is too late to regret. In this issue, we talk about the problem of smart locks.
The advantages of smart locks and traditional Mechanical Locks can not be opened without a key compared to the advantages of smart locks are obviously easy to see. These advantages are also the reason why smart locks quickly replace mechanical locks and become the mainstream.
1, do not use the key to open the lock, to avoid the trouble caused by forgetting the key Many friends have forgotten to take the key out of the experience, encounter this kind of thing is really very troublesome. Or you have to wait for your family to come home and open the door for you. If you live alone, there is no key to open the door, you can only ask a professional to open the lock. In addition to wasting unnecessary time, it costs a fortune. With a smart lock, you can use a password, fingerprint or even face recognition to open it, and there will be no trouble forgetting the key. The truth is, you don't even have to take your keys out of the house, saving yourself a lot of hassle.
2, remote unlocking, no longer have to rush back to send keys to the family Some smart locks support remote unlocking or temporary password unlocking. If your family goes out and forgets the card, or forgets the password, you don't have to rush home to send the key, you only need to remotely operate through the mobile phone to open the door, which is really convenient.
3, more quiet, to avoid night shift home disturb the family to open the traditional mechanical lock, you need to take a large number of keys, insert the key, turn the key, turn the handle. If you work overtime until midnight to go home, this series of operations down, may wake up the family. But if you smart lock, open the door is much easier, compared to the mechanical lock, smart lock is more silent.
How to buy a good smart lock How to choose a good smart lock, strictly speaking, there is no absolute standard, only whether it is suitable for yourself. Below, we talk about the purchase of smart lock several points, the main points are:
1, semi-automatic lock or automatic lock
The semi-automatic lock comes with its own handle, which needs to be pressed down or lifted to open and close the door, without the advanced sense of automatic lock. However, the semi-automatic lock has the advantages that the automatic lock cannot match: better stability and intelligence. Products with more electronic functions are often more prone to bugs and hidden dangers of wrong doors, while mechanization is often more stable. Semi-automatic locks are between mechanical locks and intelligent locks, with the advantages of both, stability and intelligence.
-- More power saving. One of the biggest problems with electronics is that they use power, especially batteries. Automatic lock because of the integration of electronic products, the overall power consumption is more than the simple semi-automatic lock. If the automatic lock battery can be used for 3-6 months, the semi-automatic lock battery can be used for 1 year to 1 and a half years, more power saving.
2, semiconductor fingerprint or photoconductor fingerprint recognition
Optical fingerprinting technology is to use the ridges and grooves of fingerprints to reflect light characteristics to capture images. As long as the fingerprint is clearly and accurately matched, without the need for a living body, this technology can recognize the fingerprint and unlock the door.
The semiconductor biometric fingerprint recognition technology and optical recognition is different, semiconductor biometric identification can only identify live fingerprints, only when someone takes your finger, it is possible to steal.
Do not buy optical conductor recognition, because relative to semiconductors, the advantages of semiconductors are obvious: semiconductor recognition, high recognition sensitivity, high recognition rate. -- Semiconductor identification, false fingerprints can not be opened, higher anti-counterfeiting. Although there are not many locks for light conductor identification now, but it is related to home safety, we should consult before buying to avoid buying wrong.
3. Fake password or fixed password
A fake password is a technology that allows you to open a door by randomly entering a number before or after the correct password, as long as the entered numeric password contains consecutive correct passwords. Simply put: any number + correct password + any number and the fixed password is that you have to enter the number accurately, there can be no difference, otherwise you can not open the door lock. Above, we can see the difference between false passwords and fixed passwords, and the advantages and disadvantages between them will be understood: -- Compared with fixed passwords, false passwords have higher security, which can reduce the probability of password theft. Therefore, the smart lock is best to choose a false password, do not choose a fixed password.
4, electromechanical separation or electromechanical integration
The so-called electromechanical integrated design, that is, the electronic lock body, this design has the motor and clutch built in the lock body, and the motor can directly drive the lock body through the gear after receiving the instruction, so as to achieve the function of opening the door. The electromechanical separation is to place the motor on the rear panel and place it outside the lock body. Although the mechanical and electrical integration design looks better, but from the safety point of view, the mechanical and electrical integration design, in case of a fire in the home, the smart lock fails, and the key can not open the door problem easily, so, from safety considerations or mechanical and electrical separation is more guaranteed.
5, confidential key card or ordinary key card
NFC door card or ordinary door card smart lock NFC is a safe and convenient smart lock authentication method using near field communication technology. It uses nfc chip to realize the short distance wireless communication between devices, so as to realize the unlocking operation of intelligent lock. IC card intelligent door lock is a kind of intelligent door lock based on IC card or password. IC card intelligent door lock built-in chip, you can judge the effectiveness of the IC card, so as to achieve unlocking. From the security point of view, it is recommended to use NFC door card, NFC access card has higher security and convenience, more secure than traditional IC card and ID card, and is not easy to be copied and stolen. Secondly, the NFC access card can be linked with smart devices such as mobile phones, and users can remotely open the door, invite visitors, and manage rights through mobile phone apps, which is more convenient and fast.
6, the safety level of the lock core and the material lock core is related to home safety, and the lock core of the smart lock should choose the C-level lock core, not the A/B lock core. As for the material, the smart lock should choose the aviation aluminum body, which is high in hardness and easy to rust. The password panel should be tempered glass material, do not choose mold injection, otherwise it is easy to have scratches.
In addition, whether other additional functions such as face recognition, remote unlocking, cat eye monitoring, mobile phone remote monitoring are needed. Because the more functions, the higher the probability of failure, and the overall power consumption is also high, and the replacement of the battery is also troublesome. Therefore, these functions need to be considered according to their actual needs. However, in general experience, face recognition, cat eye monitoring and mobile phone remote monitoring opportunities will not be high, do not configure these functions can also be. However, remote unlocking still has a certain practicality, you can consider configuring this function. Finally, there is also a point that no matter what kind of smart lock, must not choose a matching mechanical key, otherwise once the lock has no power or failure, it is very troublesome.
Summary In this issue, we share a few points that need to be paid attention to the purchase of smart locks, you can learn from it, according to their own actual comprehensive consideration, decide. Finally, I wish everyone a happy decoration!
