So, can the embedded smart locks used in high-end smart doors become the next flashpoint in the smart lock industry? Embedded smart locks will not replace traditional smart locks? What are the advantages of embedded smart locks over traditional smart locks?
A few days ago, the World of Locks United Smart Home Innovation Development and Technical Standards Industry Alliance, the Guangdong Home Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, and Netease Home, etc. released the 2019 China Smart Lock Industry Survey Report. The report shows that embedded smart locks have become armored doors, Standard for high-end anti-theft doors and smart doors such as cast aluminum doors.
From the perspective of the Yongkang door fair in May this year, smart doors have become one of the product lines that major anti-theft door manufacturers are vying to lay out. Unlike traditional anti-theft doors, smart doors have two main forms:
One is a smart door with an embedded smart lock, which is currently standard on mainstream smart doors; the other is a non-hole smart door with a motor-driven door locking device installed directly in the door. Open or close the door by mobile phone or remote control.
So, can the embedded smart locks used in high-end smart doors become the next flashpoint in the smart lock industry? Embedded smart locks will not replace traditional smart locks? What are the advantages of embedded smart locks over traditional smart locks?
First, smart doors are more beautiful. Since most smart doors use embedded smart locks, there are no front or rear panels or the front and back panels are small and can be ignored. They can even be used as door lock decorations, and all parts are embedded in the door body. Leave a small part for fingerprints, face recognition, and other small screens. You do n’t need to make too many holes to make the door more integrated and beautiful.
Second, make smart doors more technological. In particular, the smart door with embedded 3D face recognition smart lock is equipped with a smart door closer. When the user returns home, the face information will be automatically opened after the user automatically authenticates the face information. The user does not need to complete the unlocking information like a traditional smart lock. After certification, the door is opened and closed. Therefore, the smart door is more convenient and has a sense of science and technology. Even if the big bag comes back, it can easily open the door to go home.
Thirdly, there are many anti-theft door companies at present. Smart lock manufacturers are exploring the feasibility of using non-contact biometrics such as gait recognition and voiceprint recognition on smart doors. Once the use standards are met, the technology of smart doors will be further improved. Sense and user experience.
In addition, traditional smart locks have the same functions as embedded smart locks used in smart doors. However, the embedded smart locks used by smart doors also have certain disadvantages:
The first is the high price. For now, embedded smart locks are all equipped on high-end security doors. The high-end armored doors and cast aluminum doors are also cheaper at 20,000 to 30,000, and the expensive ones are hundreds of thousands or even millions. Embedded smart locks are an indispensable part of smart doors, and naturally they will not be cheap. Outdoors can only be discouraged;
The second is the close cooperation between the door factory and the lock factory. Since the cut-in smart lock is a non-standard product, there is no uniform size and specifications, so the smart doors produced by different smart doors are naturally different, so it is necessary to cooperate closely with the smart lock manufacturers, which will increase the cost virtually.
The third is inconvenience after sale. Traditional smart locks can be repaired or replaced simply by removing the front and rear panels, and most users can complete them. However, embedded smart locks are more difficult to repair because most parts are installed in the door. Ordinary users Difficult to complete.
In addition, there is a question: Will embedded smart locks replace traditional smart locks? The answer in most smart locks is: impossible. Why is it impossible? First of all, for decades, China’s traditional anti-theft door has occupied 90% of the market share. It is a huge market to replace only this one. Therefore, embedded smart locks are difficult to replace traditional smart locks;
Secondly, at present and for a long time to come, smart doors are still the choice of high-end users, and shipments will not exceed traditional security doors, so traditional smart locks are still the mainstream. I don’t know what do you think about the development of smart doors and embedded smart locks?
