Hardware locks are high-end intelligent or mainstream

Future homes may have a variety of home devices connected to the central unit that provides overall control through a home network bus. Building this “smart home” involves technology, standards, installation, and maintenance.

When people's homes are automated, a variety of electronic devices can operate with little or no need to ask questions. For example, automated lighting and CD players can be turned on at pre-set times (such as when the owner goes home), while an automated heating/cooling system can adjust the temperature of the room as people enter and exit. In fact, any electrical/electronic equipment and personal daily schedule can be automated, so that people can spend less time dealing with trivial things at home, and spend more time on important things to improve their quality of life.

Hardware locks, high-end intelligence is the mainstream

With the changes in market trends in recent years, intelligence, environmental protection and energy conservation have become new consumer concepts. Some insiders said: "From the perspective of market trends in recent years, intelligent, environmentally friendly and energy-saving hardware products are increasingly receiving Consumers' preference. China's high-end hardware products have a large market space, and the growth trend of top-level products is particularly obvious. Users also extend from the top five-star hotels in the world to high-end residential projects positioned as luxury homes."

On the one hand, high-end locks have high technology content, more prominent humanization and individualized features, and are sought after by consumers; on the other hand, products with high technology content have higher profits, and businesses are naturally optimistic. Many lock companies have realized that only by improving the technological content of products, upgrading product grades, and increasing the added value of products can they have a place in this market.

At present, smart locks with high technology content, including password locks, IC card locks, and fingerprint locks, have gradually gained recognition from mid- to high-end consumers due to their unique convenience and technology, and adopt biometric technology. The fingerprint lock has a broader market prospect because of the uniqueness, non-replicability, easy to carry, unforgettable, and non-lost characteristics of the fingerprint.

The rise of biometric technology applications and the development of smart locks and smart hardware have jointly raised locks and hardware applications to a new level, and home intelligence will enter the homes of ordinary people in the near future.
