Smart lock refers to a lock that is more intelligent in terms of user identification, security, and management compared to traditional mechanical locks. It is the executing component for locking doors in access control systems.
Smart locks differ from traditional mechanical locks in that they are composite locks with safety, convenience, and advanced technology.
Mature technologies that use non mechanical keys as user identification IDs, such as:
Fingerprint lock, finger vein lock, iris recognition access control (biometric type, high security, no loss or damage; but inconvenient to configure, high cost)
Magnetic card, RF card (non-contact type, high security, plastic material, easy to carry configuration, low price)
TM card (contact type, high security, stainless steel material, extremely convenient to carry configuration, low price).
Feature：
Convenience: A smart lock is different from a typical mechanical lock in that it has an automatic electronic induction locking system. When it automatically senses that the door is closed, the system will automatically lock it. Smart locks can be opened by fingerprint, touch screen, or card. b. Generally, fingerprint locks are inconvenient when using password/fingerprint registration functions, especially for the elderly and children. Some smart locks can activate their unique voice prompt function, making it easier and more understandable for users to operate. c. With the development of technology, smart locks are no longer limited to fingerprint, password, and magnetic card unlocking. They have added a mobile app unlocking function, which allows remote control of home door locks through mobile phones.
Safety: A typical fingerprint password lock carries the risk of password leakage. The latest smart locks also have virtual password function technology, which means that any number can be entered as a virtual password before or after the registered password, effectively preventing the leakage of the registered password while also opening the door lock. b. In the security environment of ordinary residential areas, the general method of opening door lock handles cannot ensure sufficient safety performance. It is easy to drill a small hole outside the door and then turn the handle with steel wire to open the door. Many smart locks have patented technology guarantees, and a safety handle button has been added to the indoor handle settings. It is necessary to hold down the safety handle button and turn the handle door to open, bringing a safer usage environment. (At the same time, according to the user's needs, this function can be selectively set through simple operation.) c. The nearest smart lock will automatically display on the palm touch screen and lock automatically after 3 minutes. Whether the password has been set, whether the door lock has been opened or closed, the number of registered passwords or door cards, battery replacement prompts, lock tongue blocking warnings, and low voltage situations are all displayed on the screen with intelligent control.
Security: The recent smart locks are different from the traditional "open first, scan later" method. The scanning method is very simple. Simply place your finger above the scanning area and scan from top to bottom, without pressing your finger on the scanning area. The scanning method reduces fingerprint residue and greatly reduces the possibility of fingerprints being copied, making it secure and exclusive.
Creative: Traditional mechanical locks are not particularly concerned about their appearance. Smart locks not only cater to people's tastes in terms of appearance design, but also create smart locks with an apple like feeling. Intelligent locks have quietly been launched.
Interactive smart door locks are equipped with embedded processors and intelligent monitoring systems, which have the ability to communicate and interact with tenants at any time, and can actively report the visitor situation of the TV on the day. On the other hand, visitors can even remotely control the smart door lock to open the door for them.
