Nowadays, technology is advancing, and smart locks have slowly entered thousands of households instead of traditional door locks. Although the penetration rate is not too high, the number of buyers is increasing. Some people say that it is much more convenient to change the smart lock, but some people complain that the smart lock often fails and locks themselves out. In fact, in the final analysis, it is because the smart lock is not right.
The content of this issue will summarize the "5 don't buy" of smart locks, which are all the experiences of people who have come over, and I hope to give you some reference value.
Smart locks that are unlocked by fingerprint are still very common on the market, but many people may not have paid attention to fingerprint recognition technology, which affects the sensitivity and security of identification. Just imagine, if you repeatedly open the lock at the door of your house and remind you that your fingerprint is wrong, will you be annoyed?Wouldn't it be scary if someone could copy your fingerprints to open the lock of your house by some illegal means?The reason why it is not recommended that you choose those fingerprint locks that use optical recognition technology is that you are afraid of the above situation.
The smart lock of the optical fingerprint head is cheap, and the sensitivity of this recognition technology is low, just like our fingerprint punch card at work, and it will fail if the hands are wet or the weather is cold. The household fingerprint lock should choose semiconductor identification technology, also known as biometric technology, which has very high sensitivity and recognition accuracy, and the fingerprint recognition technology is only 0Between 5-2 seconds, the security is higher.
The cylinder of a smart lock is the core component of ensuring the security of the home. Lock cylinders are often divided into three levels, among which the C-grade lock cylinder is the most secure and not easy to be cracked by thieves.
Some low-quality smart locks often use a lock cylinder with a low security level, and the security level only reaches Class A, which only takes 1 minute to be cracked by technology, bringing safety hazards to the family.
Therefore, when buying a smart lock, it is important to choose a product with high lock cylinder security. At present, there are some smart locks on the market that use copper alloy lock cylinders or use advanced encryption technology, which are more reliable in terms of anti-cracking performance and can provide stronger protection for home doors.
With the popularity of smart locks, many large and small manufacturers have also emerged in the smart lock industry, and it seems that everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, so it has also led to the uneven quality of smart locks. Looking at products with similar functions, miscellaneous smart locks only need 100-200 yuan, but big brands need to reach 2000-3000 yuan, so many consumers are also here because of the cheap purchase of miscellaneous and three-no products and planted heels.
Regarding the door lock, either it is not broken, and once it is broken, there will be a big problem. Being locked out of the door is still a trivial matter, and it is scary to escape in time in case of a fire. If you buy a smart lock, you must look at the brand, and it is recommended to choose a fingerprint lock brand that has been in business for more than ten years, the longer the more secure. This type of manufacturer has mature technology, perfect after-sales and low failure rate.
Although the internal structure of the fingerprint lock is not too complicated, considering the instability of the electronic product itself, it still needs perfect after-sales service support, and the biggest problem of miscellaneous and small factory OEM products is that there is no after-sales service.
In addition to the smart unlocking function, a good smart lock is often equipped with a variety of rich security features. Such as: anti-impact alarm, anti-technical unlocking alarm, virtual password, anti-peephole opening function, remote unlocking, etc.
While these features may not seem very useful, the more the better, as they can alert users in the event of an intrusion and keep their home safe.
The shell material of the smart lock is also an important factor to pay attention to. Some cheap smart locks use plastic shells, although they are cheap, but their durability is poor, and they are prone to damage and aging, and once the plastic material encounters fire, it will cause the unlocking parts to melt, resulting in greater accidents.
Therefore, it is best to choose a metal or alloy shell for smart locks, such as aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, stainless steel, etc., so that it will be more durable and durable, and can maintain a good state of use for a longer time.
Smart locks are the first line of defense for users' home security, and you can't be sloppy when choosing. Nowadays, after so many years of development, smart locks have been very mature in technology, as long as they follow the above "5 do not buy", there will be basically no big problems.
