As a non-professional programmer, I always like to try the latest technology products, hoping to use technology products to improve my quality of life. About three years ago, I installed a fingerprint lock on my own security door. After using it for a period of time, I found that the fingerprint lock has become a decoration for the elderly, children and me who often have peeling hands at home. I can only use a password or swipe my card to open the door. Three years ago, I changed several smart locks back and forth, and the final result was the same, so I always wanted to find a simpler unlocking method that can be applied to the whole family.
Recently, I saw that Deschman has developed a new model R8.
3D face recognition smart lock, which has a built-in 140 wide-angle monitoring lens, can cover most of the area in front of the door, with a wide field of vision and no dead ends. Through the mobile APP, you can watch the picture in front of the door online, or upload it to the cloud automatically, and the picture clarity can reach 1080P. Through the built-in light sensor, the screen can automatically switch between day and night, and when the light is dim, it can automatically turn on two infrared fill lights, and can quickly identify the face to unlock the door without light. In addition, there are many unlocking methods such as fingerprint unlocking, password unlocking, temporary password unlocking, Bluetooth key unlocking, mechanical key unlocking, mobile phone APP unlocking, WeChat applet unlocking and so on. This kind of smart lock is much more advanced than the smart lock I used before, so I got a set and experienced the convenience brought by new technology.
Just after delivery, I received a phone call from the installation master, saying that he would provide free home installation nationwide, let me contact him after receiving the goods, and then make an appointment to lock it. I wanted to install it myself, so it would be better if I provided free installation service. Three days later, I received the package from SF Express. The box was wrapped tightly. After opening it, I found that there was a formal packing box inside, which was well protected and there were no bumps. In addition to the LOGO and text of the lock, the packing box is also marked with five characteristics of the lock: German hieyie algorithm, high-end imported chip, fingerprint door opening, mobile phone APP control and five-fold alarm reminder, but where is the most important 3D face recognition?
The packaging box adopts layered design, and the upper layer is door lock edge strip, battery, mechanical key, installation screw and other accessories, which are firmly fixed in the foam tray. In addition, there is an opening drawing, an instruction manual and a certificate of approval. The lower layer is placed with the lock body and the inner and outer panels, which are also firmly fixed by the foam tray. The front and rear panels are wrapped in non-woven bags, and the other accessories are also protected, layer by layer to avoid bumping during transportation.
The lock body and side bars of Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 are made of 304 stainless steel. Because of the different sizes of each lock, you need to contact customer service in advance when purchasing. The customer service will give you a measurement description, measure the size according to the description and provide the data to the customer service, and then the manufacturer will send the corresponding goods to you according to the size data provided by you. Deschman R8 adopts an automatic lock body, and realizes the opening and closing control of the lock tongue through the built-in electric mechanism. It should be noted that this lock body does not support the heaven and earth hook at present, so it needs to be handled during installation.
The appearance of DESHMANN lock R8 looks very distinctive, because it doesn’t look like the common door handle of ordinary locks, which makes people feel curious when they see it. How can this lock open the door? The main body of the inner and outer panels of this lock are made of durable zinc alloy, and the outer panel of the door adopts simple and atmospheric ID design. The front of the panel is a comprehensive screen made of 2.5D aviation-grade tempered glass, which is durable and can effectively avoid fingerprint contamination and keep the panel beautiful. The pure black panel is surrounded by a golden border, giving people a calm sense of security.
In the center of the upper part of the panel, we can see a built-in camera and a doorbell button. The rest of the buttons and indicators are hidden and can only be seen when the screen is on. The built-in face recognition module can be seen faintly above the camera, and there is an infrared human recognition sensor below the button. Many technologies are combined to form this smart lock with full sense of science and technology.
The mechanical keyhole of DESHMAN Intelligent Lock R8 is designed at the bottom of the front panel, and the mechanical unlocking can be realized by the standard two super-C keys. Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 supports 3D face recognition unlocking, fingerprint unlocking, password unlocking, mobile phone APP unlocking, temporary password unlocking, Bluetooth remote control key unlocking and many other unlocking methods, so the mechanical key is generally not needed, so two keys are enough, and can be put in the car or office for emergencies.
Next to the R8 keyhole of Deshiman Intelligent Lock is the emergency power charging interface, which adopts the Type-c interface. When the door cannot be opened due to forgetting to charge the host after going out for a long time, you can use the mechanical key to unlock the lock, or you can use an external 5V charging treasure to supply power to the lock to unlock it. Nowadays, many smart phones have the function of reverse charging, and you can also use the mobile phone to temporarily supply power to the lock through the double-ended Type-c line to unlock it.
The fingerprint identification area of DESHMAN Intelligent Lock R8 is hidden inside the bottom of the outer panel of the door, which not only ensures the integrity of the front panel, but also makes it convenient to open the door by hand at the same time of fingerprint identification. This ingenious design is worthy of praise.
The front and rear panels of DESHMAN Intelligent Lock R8 are designed with a certain inclination angle, which makes the shape look more personalized, and at the same time, the panels are thickened to ensure greater strength. The speaker sound hole is designed at the lower position on both sides of the front panel to realize voice prompt, alarm prompt and voice intercom.
The surface of the inner panel of the R8 door of Deshmanzhineng Lock is frosted in a large area, which makes it less susceptible to fingerprints and feels good. The upper part of the panel is a mechanical handle that can swing left and right, and the lower part of the handle is a handle lock switch, an unlock key and a setting key in turn.
The handle of the inner panel of the R8 door of Deshmanzhineng lock is directly connected with the lock body by mechanical structure. When the handle is pulled, the internal square bar rotates with the handle to push the lock body to retract the lock tongue, and then the door lock is opened. If you don’t want the handle to rotate to unlock, you can turn the handle lock switch to the top. At this time, the handle in the door is fixed and can’t be rotated, which can effectively prevent the cat’s eye from unlocking. No matter what state the handle is, we can press the unlock button to trigger automatic unlocking.
Rubber protection pads are designed on the back of the front and rear panels of DESHMAN Intelligent Lock R8 to prevent the metal from directly touching the surface of the security door when installing. The cables on the front and rear panels are wrapped with nylon sheath to prevent cable abrasion during installation and use, and prolong the service life of the smart lock.
In order to prevent the outer panel of the door from being damaged by violence, an anti-disassembly button is designed in the middle of the back of the front panel. When the panel and the door are fully contacted, the switch is pressed and the lock is in a normal state. When the front panel is removed, the switch will pop up, and the lock will automatically give out a huge alarm sound, and at the same time push the alarm information to the mobile phone APP so that we can handle it in time.
The battery compartment of DESMAN Intelligent Lock R8 is designed behind the handle of the door inner panel. The smart lock I used before has no smart cat’s eye function, and can’t realize remote video and real-time intercom, so the power consumption is relatively low, and it is enough to use the No.5 battery for power supply. However, DESMAN Intelligent Lock R8 has added advanced functions such as intelligent cat’s eye and 3D face recognition, so the power consumption is naturally higher. In order to ensure its endurance, the manufacturer has equipped it with a large-capacity lithium battery.
Deshiman intelligent lock R8 comes standard with a detachable lithium battery for intelligent door lock, model ZNS-09B, output voltage is 7.4V, and battery capacity is 5000mAh. In addition to this detachable battery, the DESMAN Intelligent Lock R8 also has a built-in 550mAh spare lithium battery. When the main battery is disassembled and charged, it will automatically switch to the spare battery for power supply, which can be used for unlocking for 20 times. If you feel that a battery is not convenient enough, you can also find a battery to spare. This battery is the same model as the previous lithium batteries such as DESMAN Intelligent Lock Q5, and can be used universally.
The input power of the R8 external battery of Deshiman Intelligent Lock adopts MicroUSB interface, and the charging parameter is 5V.
2A, it can be charged by using a mobile phone charging head, a smart plug or a mobile power supply. The battery has a certain amount of power when it leaves the factory, but it is best to fully charge it before installation. There is a status indicator next to the charging interface, which shows red when charging and blue when charging. According to the official data provided by Deschman, the lithium battery of R8 can work continuously for more than 5 months. When the battery power is less than 15%, the lock will prompt you to charge every time you open the door, and there will also be a reminder of insufficient power on the mobile APP.
Deshiman intelligent lock R8 needs to be connected with WIFI to realize the remote monitoring function of intelligent cat’s eye. In order to ensure the strength of WIFI signal, the bottom of the door inner panel of this lock is designed with an antenna area made of PVC, and the antenna is stuck on the inside of the PVC protective cover and connected with the host outside the door through a feeder.
Before installation, we can try to connect the cables and test them. There are three cables to be connected between the front and rear panels and the lock body, and the interfaces of the three cables are different, so there is no need to worry about wrong connection.
After the wiring is completed, install the battery and the smart lock will automatically turn on. Because the panel is in the disassembly state, it will trigger the disassembly alarm. Let’s try to hold the switch down and test the function first. Touch the panel, and the hidden buttons and indicator lights on the panel will light up. The password is entered by a touch keyboard, and a green battery charging icon appears on the upper right side of the password input area, which means that the main battery is charging the built-in battery. When no face data is entered, the lock is in demonstration mode, and it will automatically unlock when any face is detected.
Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 is suitable for security doors with a thickness of 40-120mm, and standard accessories of all sizes are provided in the accessory package, which is convenient for the installer to choose the appropriate accessories during installation.
The installation process is not complicated. After the old lock was removed, the installation master adjusted the size of the security door according to the size of the lock, then installed the lock body into the door, and then installed the door outer panel. Finally, the cables of the lock body and the door outer panel were inserted into the door inner panel, and the door inner panel was installed. Finally, the door frame edge strip was replaced, and the installation process was completed.
Is it very scientific and technological that Deshmanzhi can lock R8 outside the back door after installation?
Deshmanzhi can lock the R8 side view. After installation, the lock and the door become a whole. The lock with black gold color matching and the bronze door have no sense of disobedience, and it feels like the original lock.
Deshmanzhi can lock the R8 door.
When the door is closed, the door closing detection bolt on the lock body will be pressed into the lock body by the edge strip, thus triggering the door closing detection sensor and informing the door lock to control the extension of the bolt, thus realizing automatic locking. Press the unlock button in the door, and the lock tongue will be automatically retracted under the drive of the built-in electric device, thus realizing automatic unlocking.
Before it was installed, the door handle could have been turned to the left and right to adapt to various door opening directions. After the installation, the direction of the handle is limited by the lock body. In the door, we can use the handle to unlock the lock, which can reduce the starting times of the electric device in the lock and prolong the battery life. The handle has a built-in spring, which is moderate in strength. When the door is opened, the handle will automatically return.
Before testing unlocking, we downloaded Xiaodi Butler APP on the mobile phone and registered to log in. After that, press and hold the lock setting button to activate the lock setting function, and then use the APP to scan the code box or the QR code inside the battery cover, waiting for the system to automatically bind the lock.
To enter face data, you also need to press and hold the Bluetooth setting button to enter the setting state, and then choose to enter face data on the APP. According to the voice upgrade of the lock, the data of face, head down, head up, left face and right face are entered respectively, and the entry process is completed. Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 supports the storage and identification of 20 groups of face data and 60 groups of fingerprint data, which is enough for ordinary families. Face data and fingerprint data are stored offline in the lock, and the lock can be recognized normally when the network is disconnected.
We can also use the mobile APP to unlock directly, or use Deschman’s Bluetooth key and smart bracelet to unlock. Intelligent key and bracelet data can be deleted at any time to prevent them from being used by bad people after being lost.
Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 has its own intelligent cat’s eye function, which is equivalent to placing a smart camera in the lock. When going out, you can open Xiaodi Butler APP to remotely check the situation outside the door at any time, and when the light is insufficient, it will automatically turn on infrared fill light to ensure that we can watch clearly day and night. In the process of viewing the video remotely, we can also talk to the door in real time, take screenshots or record the video directly. If the visitor presses the doorbell, the smart lock will automatically call the APP, and after receiving it on the mobile phone, you can talk back in real time and know the situation outside the door in time.
Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 has three remote reminding modes: APP reminder, WeChat reminder and SMS reminder. When the lock encounters an abnormal state, it will automatically push an alarm message to the bound mobile phone in three ways to ensure that we can see and handle it in time.
Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 supports human body induction. When motion detection is turned on in the APP, the intelligent lock will automatically detect whether there is anyone in front of the door. When someone is detected in front of the door, it will trigger face recognition. If the recognized face data matches the previously saved face data, it will automatically unlock the door, completely realizing zero-contact unlocking, which is much more convenient than fingerprint password and other methods.
After Gangzi tested wearing sunglasses to open the door, the recognition speed did not slow down at all. Deshmanzhi was able to lock R8 and quickly recognized me and opened the lock for me.
Then Gangzi tested the bow, the head and the side face to open the door, and Deshmanzhi was able to lock R8 accurately and open the door in time.
Usually, the old people at home use locks to open the door the most, so the test is focused on, and the measured results are very satisfactory. They can accurately identify and open the door every time, even if they wear hats and scarves.
The official data given by Deshmanzhineng Lock R8 is for people over 130cm in height. My child is just 120cm. Can it be used normally? I tested it. As long as I stand back a little and let my face enter the scanning code area of the lock, I can also enter face data normally and unlock the lock normally. I told her that when she met a bad guy, she only had to close her eyes to identify him, and the lock could be opened automatically. At the same time, she would send an alarm message to her father. My little girl tried it several times and found it interesting. Later, she would give me a few times to close her eyes and unlock it. After receiving it, I nervously rushed to open Xiaodi APP to check the video at the door, only to find that she was joking and could only tell her the story of the wolf several times with a wry smile.
Summary:
Deshiman Intelligent Lock R8 uses 3D face recognition technology, which completely solves the problem of fingerprint identification in my family, truly realizes automatic unlocking when people come to the door, and simplifies the unlocking process. It has been used for more than ten days, and has not encountered the problem of unlocking failure or mistaken identification. It feels very stable and reliable, and it is a smart lock worth starting with.
