How to determine the anti-theft ability of smart locks?

In recent years, with the improvement of people's awareness of safety protection, users have also paid more attention to their own safety protection performance when choosing smart locks. So, what is the security and anti-theft capability of an intelligent lock, and how should it be judged?

Firstly, it should be clarified that compared to ordinary mechanical locks, intelligent locks are undoubtedly a safer choice. In terms of anti-theft ability, mechanical locks belong to passive anti-theft, and the anti-theft performance directly depends on the material of the lock and the level of anti-theft of the lock cylinder, while intelligent locks are active anti-theft. Mechanical locks can only rely on internal mechanical structures for anti-theft, while intelligent locks are endowed with various active defense functions.

Look at the fingerprint reader

At present, there are two common fingerprint recognition methods on the market: optical fingerprint recognition and semiconductor fingerprint recognition. Optical fingerprint recognition mainly uses mirror refraction to identify fingerprints, so the anti-counterfeiting performance of optical fingerprints is generally weak and can be unlocked through tools such as fingerprint film and fake fingers; Semiconductor fingerprint recognition is mainly achieved by forming an electric field between the silicon wafer and the electrolyte under the conductive skin, so semiconductor fingerprint recognition devices can only recognize live fingerprints and have good anti-counterfeiting performance.

Check the lock body and panel material

The material of the lock body and panel of the intelligent lock is also an important guarantee of its anti-theft performance. Some smart locks with poor quality lock bodies and panels are easily pried open by criminals. When selecting smart locks, metal or alloy panels are generally chosen, which not only have strong safety but also slow down daily wear and tear. The lock body of highland barley intelligent locks is generally made of stainless steel material, which has good anti-theft performance.

Other active defense functions

The good anti-theft performance of smart locks is also reflected in their various proactive defense functions. For example, after entering incorrect passwords multiple times in a row, the Smart Lock will automatically lock and release after a few minutes, effectively preventing the possibility of intentional unlocking through trial opening. At the same time, in the event of theft, trial opening, concealment, or low battery power, the smart lock will also emit a local voice alarm and immediately send the alarm information to the user's authorized mobile phone, helping users stay informed of their home situation and breaking the space limitations of traditional cold mechanical locks.

With the support of black technologies such as cat eye capture, indoor visualization, and remote unlocking, the anti-theft performance of intelligent locks has also undergone a qualitative leap and development.
