In recent years, with the development and popularization of intelligence, smart locks are now the focus of attention. As the combination of intelligence and door locks, and the commercial value behind it, it is favored by industry leaders And sought after. Not only have major giants and startups joined in, many capitals have also rushed in to jointly promote the rapid development of the domestic smart lock market. However, this technology has not yet been fully developed, and there are still many shortcomings and areas that need improvement in the smart lock industry.
Safety and reliability
As we all know, as long as there is a network, there will be security risks. At present, smart lock networking is the general trend, so the security of smart lock networking cannot be ignored. However, the security of all connected smart products is relative. As the last protective barrier to enter the home, security cannot be ignored. Smart door locks rely on the perfect combination of mobile Internet, mechanical manufacturing technology, mechanical anti-theft technology, electronic encryption technology, and authentication technology. The implementation of many performances needs to be developed and improved by technology, which takes a certain amount of time to complete. For example, most of the current smart lock products do not use the remote unlocking function. One of the important reasons is that many manufacturers cannot ensure the security of cloud services.
Fingerprints are easy to be copied, and fingerprint lock collection is relatively easy. Therefore, the live fingerprint unlocking technology needs to be popularized. At present, fewer brands use live unlocking.
Compare the fingerprint information in the lock. Once the lock is maliciously damaged, it is easy to steal the fingerprint information. Each person's biological characteristics are unique, and once stolen, there is a security risk.
Once it encounters finger scratches, stains, peeling, etc., it cannot be recognized. But these can be improved by improving the quality of smart locks.
Insufficient humanity design of face lock
The current face recognition modules are all fixed installation modules and do not have the conditions for adjusting the shooting angle. Generally speaking, there are two main recognition methods, one is 45° recognition, and the other is frontal recognition. If there are elderly and children in the home, the design of the face recognition lock is difficult to take into account people of different ages, causing some people to have difficulty in using it. For example, the face lock with 45° recognition is not suitable for children; for frontal angle recognition , If the installation location is low, it is not suitable for adults.
Considerations for the price of home smart locks
At present, the market price of most smart door locks is 2500-4000 yuan, and the price of smart locks of some foreign and domestic first-line brands is even as high as five to six thousand and seven to eight thousand. For consumers, this price is undoubtedly too high, which largely hinders their desire to buy. At the same time, the designs of many smart locks and door factories do not fit each other, which leads to more complicated installation and commissioning of smart locks to the door factory, which further increases the cost of installation, commissioning, sales and maintenance. For users, the price of 1,000-2,000 yuan is the easiest to accept, just like the popularity of 1,000-yuan smart phones that year, the quantity will only increase after the price-performance ratio is improved.
The stability problem of home fingerprint lock
It is precisely because the stability of the electronic system is not easy to maintain in daily use, therefore, a set of mechanical emergency opening is added to the design of the relevant national standards. This system greatly reduces the safety performance. In addition, electronic locks also have disadvantages such as high cost, fragile parts and difficult maintenance.
The rate of biometrics needs to be improved
Because fingerprints are reproducible to a certain extent, there are certain flaws in security performance, especially for different skin conditions, humidity conditions, and fingerprint recognition authentication effects are also very different, such as rejection rate and recognition. In terms of false rate, there is still a lot of room for improvement in ensuring safety; the currently popular face recognition authentication cannot achieve 100% recognition accuracy due to its algorithm, power consumption, scene application, etc., and there is room for improvement. Larger; in terms of the rate of authentication, fingerprint recognition and finger vein recognition are faster due to their technological maturity, and the rate of face authentication still needs to be improved.
After-sales service needs to be guaranteed
Smart door locks are an industry that requires high service. The product characteristics of the smart door lock determine that its installation must be timely and the repair speed must be fast. Smart door locks have different installation conditions for users. For example, different thicknesses of anti-theft doors require different matching. The installation or maintenance of smart locks requires professional after-sales service. However, the entire industry has just started, and the industrial supporting facilities in this area are extremely imperfect, which severely restricts the rapid development of this industry.
As a heavy-installation industry, after-sales and service are essential for smart locks, and this is the shortcoming of many smart lock companies. For smart locks to be fully popularized, the first thing to do is to turn smart locks into consumer electronics. Only by providing services like air conditioners can users be assured; the second thing to do is to do a good job in channel sinking.
To do a good job in after-sales and service of smart locks, of course, it is inseparable from the layout of channels. However, if the channel layout is still limited to traditional channels, it will be difficult to serve more end users. Therefore, popular channels such as supermarkets, online, and home appliance markets will be the focus of the future.
