Not charging before entering the door? Charging of smart locks

HC Security Network News As we all know, is the intelligent lock requires power to power, and security considerations for the vast majority of smart locks are battery-powered way. For smart locks, such as low-power, long-standby appliances, rechargeable batteries are not a good solution. The most common dry battery needs to be replaced every year. Sometimes it is forgotten to replace or the low battery alarm is out of order. If you don't have a key, it will be very embarrassing.

If the smart lock has no power, it will be given a "suspension bottle".

Netizen @Naituw has produced a very interesting picture. Because the smart door lock battery in the home is exhausted, the low battery alarm is still out of order. I have to take out my mobile power supply to charge it. This smart lock is also very intimate. The USB charging interface is in a hurry. This Weibo has caused thousands of forwarding on the same day.

This kind of emergency charging method using charging treasure is a scheme that many smart locks will adopt, because charging treasure is almost necessary for people who are now out, and if users are used to using smart locks, they will not The key stays on the body, so this solution to the "cylinder" of the smart lock will be a safer solution when the smart lock is popular.

In this Weibo comment, some netizens commented more tragicly. Not only did the smart lock have no power, but it was not charged. The master who unlocked at this time said, "If the door can't be opened, just open the wall."

Although it seems ridiculous, it also inadvertently proves that the security of smart locks is very reliable, but this kind of "security" that cannot be accessed even by its own door is not wanted by anyone.

Why charging a smart lock is so "ridiculous"

Having said that, smart locks have evolved to the present, and the dangers have been considered in various situations, and there are corresponding solutions. However, in many people's eyes, it is completely unacceptable to be unable to enter the door because of power failure. Although manufacturers have many solutions for this situation, such as spare key unlocking, USB interface charging, 9V square battery and other solutions. Some manufacturers simply adopt the "hand-cranked power generation" scheme, even if there is no belt, just open the door by shaking the door handle.

And do people really like this way? The number of thousands of microblogs on the Internet for the first picture of this article explains everything: people don't want emergency door opening methods, just want to get in and out of their homes at any time. However, this kind of peace of mind is to sacrifice the convenience of smart locks, only relying on mechanical locks can be achieved, after all, there is no perpetual motion in the world. Moreover, the smart lock also needs to monitor the security of the door lock in real time, which requires power.

Recalling the era when the function machine was full, at that time, it was not a problem for the mobile phone to stand on a battery for three or four days. If it is replaced by the current one, it is a life-saving machine. However, compared with the current mobile phone, there will be a lot of sacrifices: no WeChat, no QQ, no Internet access, no video, and even a limited number of mobile phone contacts. The quality of the photos is not directly overlooked today.

In exchange for you, would you choose a function machine with longer battery life and less function, or a smart machine with a very short battery life? Presumably, most people will choose to sacrifice their battery life in exchange for more comprehensive functions.

But why doesn't the smart lock give this feeling?

Because people don't have a cognition for the lock to save power, the traditional mechanical lock has a history of thousands of years, and the development of smart locks has been said for decades. The deep-rooted concept of use for the public, a "fingerprint identification", a "remote alarm" is not allowed to allow residents to sacrifice their life to return.

More importantly, the convenience brought by smart locks does not have a wide-ranging understanding. Many people have never used them. It is safe to say that smart locks are not safe, and some people justifiably say, "I have never used it." Safety". This statement is completely caused by the inherent image of mechanical locks for thousands of years.

As a kind of lock, smart lock is the best marketing, but the smart lock has no star products. The people who use it are not willing to scream and praise Haikou that their door lock is very reliable. "Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles" will also affect the word-of-mouth marketing of smart locks for the public. And nowadays, the public thinks that the word "smart" is perfect, almost nitpicking, which is why charging the smart lock is very ridiculous now.

What can smart lock manufacturers do at this time? Develop the most complete and natural power supply method, and keep your smart locks safer. In addition, we can only wait for the arrival of the hot lock of smart locks. At that time, people will get used to replacing the battery with their own smart locks, and they will feel that it is not safe to use mechanical locks.
