Which is better, intelligent lock or mechanical lock?
The key is the only opening tool of the traditional mechanical lock. This uniqueness, which needs to be carried alone, is easy to forget or lose, and it really brings a lot of trouble to our lives. Compared with traditional mechanical locks, the biggest feature of smart locks is the diversity of opening methods. At present, most of the smart locks on the market can be opened in many ways, such as face, fingerprint, password, card, mobile phone remote, etc., and at the same time, the traditional emergency key is retained according to national standards.
The smart lock can transmit the number of times the smart lock is opened every day, the information of people who appear in front of the door, the situation of visitors, the time when the elderly and children go in and out of the door and other related information to the user’s mobile phone, so that the user can also know the situation at home thousands of miles away, and let the user fully feel the convenience and warmth brought by the smart home.
When your family needs a nanny or an hourly worker, you want them to come at any time, but you don’t want to give them the keys to your home? Then you can use the remote opening function of the smart lock, and when the nanny or hourly worker arrives at home, you can easily open the door for them by turning on the mobile phone; Of course, you can also set a temporary password, stipulating that the nanny or hourly worker will use it within a set period of time, and the overtime password will be automatically invalid.
In fact, remote unlocking and temporary password functions have many uses. For example, when your relatives and friends visit temporarily and you happen to be out of the house, you can use the remote lock or temporary password function to open it, so that they can sit in the first room without standing at the door.
That is to say, after installing the smart lock, you don’t need a key to go in and out. You can easily open the door by entering a string of passwords or verifying your face and fingerprints, which is not only convenient but also fast. Even if the opening methods of faces, fingerprints, passwords, cards, etc. are out of order due to the failure of the electronic department, or the battery is exhausted, the reserved emergency key or the emergency USB interface can still unlock the lock, so users don’t have to worry about being rejected.
Home is a place for physical and mental rest, and the convenience of door lock as the first entrance into the house is particularly important.
When you forget to bring your key when you go out and have to ask the master to pick the lock, when the old children are locked out because they lost their keys and you have to stop working to deliver the key … Smart locks with fingerprints, passwords, APP and other unlocking methods can easily open the door.
It can be said that the smart lock is an artifact that can make us "lazy" and improve our happiness. Installing a smart lock reduces the time spent on finding the key, delivering the key, finding the locksmith and other tedious chores, which makes us more engaged in our work and enjoy our life, making our home more comfortable, smarter and healthier.
Which is safer, smart lock or mechanical lock?
Different from traditional mechanical door locks, smart locks are more intelligent in user identification, security and management. In terms of user identification ID, smart locks are not limited to mechanical keys, but are generally equipped with multi-functional intelligent identification configurations and technologies such as fingerprint identification, iris identification, card identification, and remote identification of mobile phones. The fingerprint lock that everyone often talks about is one of the smart locks.
Compared with traditional mechanical door locks, what are the advantages of smart locks? There are roughly the following three points:
1. Convenience
Because the smart lock has a variety of unlocking methods, such as fingerprint unlocking, iris unlocking, password unlocking, card unlocking, mechanical unlocking, voice control, mobile APP unlocking, etc., it greatly facilitates our life, and mom no longer has to worry about not taking the key when going out.
2. Safety
When it comes to security, mechanical locks and smart locks are not the same level at all. There are too many hidden dangers in mechanical locks. A high-quality smart lock not only makes life more convenient, but also has very high security.
The traditional mechanical key can be copied. When the key is lost, criminals can randomly find a store with the key and copy an identical lock in a few minutes. Another mechanical lock is relatively simple to unlock, which is a decoration in front of a "professional" master. With special tools, the door can be opened in a few minutes.
Although all the smart locks have mechanical lock holes, most of them use C-class lock cores with excellent anti-theft performance, so it is difficult for criminals to use tools/technologies to unlock the locks. At the same time, many smart locks’ fingerprints are unlocked directly by non-contact scanning without touching the scanning area, which makes it difficult to copy the fingerprints. The password of another smart lock is not easy to be leaked when unlocked. Some of them also have the function of virtual password, and any number can be entered before/after the password, which greatly increases the security of smart locks.
3. Intelligence
Smart locks are not only safe and convenient, but also smart. Some smart locks are designed with safety handles. Smart locks also have various humanized functions, such as battery replacement reminder, intelligent alarm, automatic locking and temporary users.
