Smart door locks, don’t try it easily, because used ones will be addictive. If you ask: the lock at home has been used for decades, and you are used to it, what lock should you change? Then I will answer: convenience, this reason is enough.

　　Don’t think that you are really used to traditional locks, which will give you a lot of "trouble" in many scenarios:

　　I forgot my key and was trapped outside the door, waiting for my family/landlord to deliver the key, waiting for dozens of minutes. When a guest comes and stays, he must hand over the key to him. It is also strange that the key at home is temporarily used by others. Going out downstairs, I have to go upstairs to check if I forgot to lock it.

　　For traditional locks, intelligent phase locking is just like the iPhone in the era of smart phones facing Nokia, the overlord of functional machines, and there is a huge gap between them.

　　Near the Double Eleven, Xuebajun recently chose a brand-new smart lock from Philips-Alpha, which has: multiple unlocking methods, fingerprint unlocking experience as fast as 0.5s, C-class lock core and push-pull design. ……..

　　Then the question is, can it make me forget the traditional lock? This experience will tell you all the answers.

　　Design: durable companion, no fingerprints and no water.

　　The door is the patron saint of home, and the lock is the soul of the door.

　　Philips Alpha series is the kind of products that are amazing at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more attractive it is. The push-pull design is adopted, so the design of the whole lock is particularly simple in appearance, just like a whole piece of alloy carved.

　　The front panel of IMF wire drawing process vaguely reflects the texture of metal under the change of light. Of course, as a product that is "touched" all year round, the more important attribute of the lock is durability.

　　We put greasy and wet hands on it and stroked it back and forth, but we didn’t find too many fingerprints. Compared with many smart locks with high-gloss piano paint, daily use is more worry-free.

　　The panel is designed with a certain radian, and the upper part is a hidden password input area. Normally, it is completely black, and it will light up when touched, with sufficient brightness, which can be seen well under strong light and at night.

　　When the battery is low, the low battery indicator will flash to warn to change the battery. Alpha has a very thoughtful design, which really comes to an emergency when the power is too low, and it can also be temporarily powered by charging treasure.

　　The fingerprint identification area is located at the upper part of the handle. In the slightly concave circular area, it is convenient to hold the handle and press the thumb just for fingerprint identification.

　　The prompt light of the "CLOSE" key can give us a lot of information.

　　For example, the red light flashes twice, indicating that the lock is successful; The green light flashes twice, which means the lock is unlocked successfully.

　　Unlocking experience: a variety of unlocking methods, fingerprint speed comparable to the flagship phone.

　　The first time I used a smart lock was in an apartment I rented just after graduation, but there was only one way to unlock it: password.

　　The important thing about Philips Alpha smart lock is that it can provide a variety of unlocking methods. There are many ways of unlocking, which can also be applied to more application scenarios, such as visiting relatives and friends, domestic maintenance and so on.

　　1. Fingerprint unlocking

　　Alpha, the most frequently used method, is probably the smart lock that I have used for several years, which is closest to the unlocking experience of smart phones. The speed is as fast as 0.5s, and it can be recognized when the finger is pressed. With the push-pull door opening design, the whole process is flowing.

　　The recognition range is large, so you don’t have to hold it to recognize and unlock it, and you can recognize it normally if it is slightly tilted.

　　It also supports the addition of multiple users, and at most supports more than 100 groups of fingerprint input, which is enough for the user scale of a quadrangle.

　　2, Bluetooth unlock

　　Fingerprints on smart locks are not everything. For example, if your fingers are dirty one day and you don’t want to touch them, you can’t recognize them. Bluetooth unlocking is a good thing.

　　The mobile phone paired with Alpha can be successfully unlocked by opening the Bluetooth automatic connection door lock, and then entering the App and pressing the unlock icon.

　　3. Unlock the password

　　Password unlocking is the most commonly used way to use the so-called smart door lock in my apartment before, but at that time it could only set 6-10 digits password.

　　Alpha, on the other hand, supports a 30-bit virtual password, and thief security is very easy to remember.

　　What do you mean? For example, my password is set to 6 digits of 123456. When unlocking, you can add irrelevant digits before and after (for example, press 3324123456990), as long as any of the 6 digits you set in this string is accurate, you can still unlock.

　　Yes, the biggest advantage of virtual password is that it is convenient for yourself and eliminates others who want to spy on the password.

　　4. Remote authorization

　　There is an inevitable scene in life, that is, guests visit or stay temporarily, and the key is too troublesome at this time.

　　At this time, you can send the password to the other party and authorize it remotely, which saves the effort of running back and forth to open the door and does not give the key to the other party casually.

　　5. Double authentication

　　There are two other unlocking methods: a small card and a mechanical key. The former can be convenient for the elderly who are not used to fingerprint unlocking, and the latter is an emergency "spare tire" for the power shortage.

　　You can even set Alpha to the dual authentication mode of security Max, which requires any combination of fingerprint, password and card to authenticate.

　　A variety of effective unlocking methods have indeed greatly increased the experience of Alpha in various scenarios.

　　Safety: Class C lock core, multiple alarms.

　　As a young man, using Alpha as a smart lock is really addictive, but my family is still conservative and usually has doubts about safety.

　　Of course, in addition to ease of use, security should be an important consideration for a product with sensitive attributes such as locks.

　　No matter how the smart lock changes, the lock core remains unchanged as the core. In fact, China’s latest release of "Mechanical Anti-Theft Lock" in 2015 classified the lock cores, and classified the key quantity, anti-technical opening, anti-drilling performance, anti-sawing performance and so on with Grade A, B and C, among which Grade C is the best.

　　Philips Alpha is equipped with a C-class anti-theft lock core, which can also prevent the "black box" attack used by professional crime gangs to deal with smart locks, and the security is quite good.

　　Of course, security also includes alarm ability. Alpha has low-voltage alarm and abnormal lock tongue alarm, and it can protect itself after trying to unlock the lock by violence.

　　Xuebajun also learned about various alarms:

　　Protection function: press the protection key for 2 seconds to enter the protection mode, and once the door lock is opened indoors, it will trigger an alarm.

　　Anti-pick alarm: when the door is pried open, the sensing lock tongue will automatically pop up, and it will automatically give an alarm continuously to turn off the key authentication function.

　　With fully automatic Alpha blessing, our perception of doors and locks will be further reduced to: close the door and leave.

　　From then on, feel free to go out.

　　Evaluation summary: fully automatic intelligent blessing, completely forget the traditional lock

　　Smart locks are different from smart phones. Mobile phones can be changed once a year, but locks may not be changed once every ten years.

　　Therefore, if you choose a smart lock, personally, I think that "top-matching" products such as Philips Alpha are very suitable, which provide many brand-new experiences in convenience, safety, face value and function, enough to make people forget the inconvenience of traditional door locks.
