The advantages of fingerprint locks compared with traditional mechanical locks
We all know that traditional door locks are opened with mechanical keys, but mechanical keys often forget to carry them, accidentally lose the mechanical keys, or even be copied by criminals with ulterior motives, which brings people a lot of trouble. , Especially the safety issue, is even more disturbing.
Some time ago, the “Weekly Quality Report” column of the CCTV News Channel exposed the weak anti-theft function of ordinary anti-theft locks and the existence of potential safety hazards. In the show, any thief can use the “tinfoil unlocking” technique to steal other people’s property.
After the program was broadcast, residents were at risk. While paying attention to the safety performance of their own door locks, they also had more doubts, that is, what kind of door locks are safe and reliable? If you don’t use ordinary locks, what would be better?
At present, the domestic market locks are mainly mechanical locks, induction locks, password locks, and fingerprint locks. The functional principles and technical applications of each product are different. Mechanical locks are the locks with the lowest technical content. At present, ordinary mechanical locks are the most commonly used by ordinary people. Sensor locks and code locks are often used in business and public spaces.
The door card locks used in hotel rooms are sensor locks, and many companies choose code locks for door control management. Among the four types of locks, the fingerprint lock has the highest technological content. The high-end fingerprint lock combines the four-door opening technologies of “fingerprint, password, magnetic card, and mechanical key” into one.
Therefore, its manufacturing process and technological content are the highest. So what are the advantages of fingerprint locks that integrate four technologies over popular mechanical locks?
Advantage 1: Security
First of all, it is safer to open the door lock.
The mechanical lock requires a key to open the door. Therefore, the opening part inserted into the keyhole must be exposed, which gives the thief an opportunity. The fingerprint lock, which is different from the mechanical lock, requires a fingerprint or a password to open the door. Its collection part is outside the door, while the central control part is inside. The mechanical unlocking place is very concealed, so there is no need to worry about malicious damage by thieves.
Secondly, fingerprint authentication is unique.
The fingerprint lock uses biometric technology, which uses certain physiological or behavioral characteristics of the human body to identify identity, and has the characteristics of irreplaceability, inability to be copied, and uniqueness. Since biometric technology needs to sense various physiological characteristics of the finger, such as temperature, lines, blood flow, etc., fingerprint replication technology can only succeed in movies, but it cannot be achieved in real society. The current industry requirement for fingerprint lock resolution is 500 dpi.
Advantage 2: Intelligence
First, mass storage of fingerprint and password information. The initial user can add or delete user information independently. When the user needs to add entry permission for multiple people, he only needs to input the fingerprint or password information of the other party into the system.
Conversely, when the user wants to prevent some people (for example, the decoration master, the former nanny, etc.) from entering the home, delete his related information.
The intelligent operation does not require users to constantly change locks or assign keys, saving users unnecessary expenses and troubles. Second, is the simultaneous use of passwords and magnetic card technology. Considering that some users’ fingers have inherent defects and cannot use fingerprint unlocking technology, high-end fingerprint lock products will be equipped with a password and magnetic card technology, which can be convenient for users of different habits and different ages. These three technologies do not affect and complement each other and can better serve users.
Now many fingerprint locks also have smart derivative security functions. Such as the anti-pry alarm function, this function can immediately sound the alarm when the lock body is damaged by external violence, and directly link the alarm to effectively prevent thieves from entering the room.
There are also smart home functions. Some fingerprint lock products can also provide smart home interfaces to realize the intelligence of the whole house and meet the needs of users who are pursuing smart technology consumption.
Advantage 3: Convenience
The convenience of fingerprint locks is reflected in that no one will worry about opening the door at any time. No matter if you forgot to bring your key, you are struggling to open the door with your hands full of things, or you are so drunk at night that you can’t remember where the key is, using a fingerprint lock can avoid the above embarrassment.
For young people who love fashion technology, the use of fingerprint locks greatly enhances their experience of smart home living.
Especially in today’s rapid development of electronic technology, the use of fingerprint locks will better link with smart communications such as mobile phones, and become the first port to open smart homes in the future. Although fingerprint locks have missed many users because of their slightly higher prices, in today’s society, electronic technology will become the only direction for future development.
With its advantages of security, intelligence, and convenience, fingerprint locks will surely replace mechanical locks as the first choice of residents.
