Smart locks refer to locks that are more intelligent in terms of user identification, security, and management, different from traditional mechanical locks. They cover specific types of lock products such as fingerprint locks, electronic password locks, electronic induction locks, network locks, and remote control locks.
Classification of smart door locks
Fingerprint lock
Fingerprint locks are the most important type of household electronic lock market, and their features of security, convenience, and fashion have attracted the attention of consumers from all walks of life. Currently, fingerprint locks are divided into semiconductor fingerprint heads and optical fingerprint heads. Semiconductor fingerprint locks have high recognition rates, fast speed, small size, and security: optical fingerprint head technology is more mature, with slightly better scratch and stain resistance. Fingerprint locks on the market generally have password, sensing, remote control and other opening methods. The uniqueness and non replicability of fingerprints determine that fingerprint locks are currently the most secure type of lock among all locks.
Electronic cipher lock
It is a type of lock that uses a series of numbers or symbols to open. The password of a password lock is usually only an arrangement rather than a true combination. Some password locks only use one dial to rotate several discs or cams inside the lock, while others rotate a set of dial wheels engraved with numbers to directly drive the mechanical components inside the lock. Electronic password locks also have the characteristics of security, convenience, and fashion, but due to the need to remember passwords, they are more suitable for the younger generation to use, as the elderly and children may have the possibility of forgetting their passwords. Nowadays, electronic password locks on the market usually use a 12 digit key and 6-digit password method. The keyboard can be divided into two modes: touch screen keys and physical keys, both of which can achieve virtual input. There are electronic lock products on the market that combine multiple functions such as fingerprint, password, and sensing, as well as electronic password locks that only have password function.
Induction lock
The MCPU (microcontroller four) on the circuit board controls the start and stop of the door lock motor. After installing the battery on the door lock, the door can be opened and removed through a card issued by the computer. When issuing cards, it is an advanced intelligent product that can control the card's opening validity period, opening range, and permissions. Inductive door locks are indispensable security electronic door locks for hotels, guesthouses, leisure centers, golf centers, etc., and are also suitable for use in public villas and homes.
smart lock
The so-called intelligence of smart locks is mainly reflected in their more humanized and intelligent functions and operation during use. At this stage, intelligence is also mainly reflected in the networking function of door locks, which can realize remote control and remote monitoring, such as remote monitoring of door locks through mobile phones, remote door opening and closing, etc., but it also leaves hidden dangers caused by Internet security. With the development of smart home concepts, the definition and functions of smart locks are constantly being enriched.
