Intelligent home appliances, in the final analysis, is the control competition of manufacturers against the family Internet of things. With the rise of the concept of smart home, a smart home “entry” competition is also quietly launched. With the rise of the concept of smart home, a smart home “entry” competition is also quietly launched. Smart routers, smart gateways, and smart speakers have all been the focus of attention as “gateways”, but as the tide recedes, these once-popular products have also been ignored. As a new generation of smart home entry devices, why are smart locks being sought after again?
The innate “entry” attribute
Different from the “pushing” the entrance of the equipment, smart as a door lock, lock in physics is naturally has the property of “portal” “entrance”, and does not need artificially to intervene or concept promotion, also doesn’t exist obstacles on cognitive.
Strong user demand
Intelligent lock is a combination of smart device lock, and lock is an absolute required product. Secondly, intelligent door locks are by no means the common “smart devices for intelligence”. It is believed that everyone has the experience forget carrying a key, while the smart lock will not have this problem, and such functions as fingerprint and alarm will further improve security.
Flexible using
The characteristics of the intelligent lock “smart” overturns the traditional door lock “a key for a lock” ideas, not only can let more than 1 person door lock, can also be unlocked remotely, authorized to open the lock, video dialogue, and so on.
However, at present, consumers are generally still in a stage of not knowing and mistrust about smart locks. In order to obtain further recognition, smart locks need to be further popularized in market educating.
Security
Information security incidents emerge endlessly, and consumers do not trust the security of smart devices very much, especially when smart locks have networking functions, it is more likely to generate more vulnerabilities.How to make the balance between safety and utility is the most important index to test the manufacturer
Ease of use
Smart locks are more convenient, but its response speed and recognition ability is more important, especially fingerprint recognition algorithm directly affects the product experience, tolerance is not high for consumers, consumers won’t accept an intelligent lock products that can’t identify quickly and accurately.
Quality, workmanship and maintenance
As an electronic product, intelligent lock is more complex and more vulnerable to damage than the traditional lock structure with pure mechanical structure.Intelligent lock products must be beyond the work and quality of mechanical lock, in order to achieve similar failure rate with mechanical lock.At the same time, supporting maintenance and after-sales service should also keep up with the development of products, otherwise it is still difficult to get rid of the flash in the pan of intelligent products.
