What's the difference between smart door locks and ordinary fingerprint locks?

There are many differences. Let's talk about the difference between fingerprint heads first.

Smart door locks now basically use semiconductor fingerprint heads, the advantage is that the copied fingerprints are difficult to be effective; Ordinary fingerprint locks generally use optical fingerprint heads, and copied fingerprints are easier to open. For example, we often see glass door fingerprint locks with only passwords and fingerprints, and most of the old ones use optical fingerprint heads.

However, with the development of technology, it is believed that semiconductor fingerprint heads will gradually become popular, so the difference between fingerprint heads will not be so great.

In addition to these, it is the difference in appearance and function. Smart door locks are mostly used for family entrance doors, so they have many functions, such as fingerprints, passwords, keys, credit cards, mobile phones and so on. And ordinary fingerprint locks, such as cupboard fingerprint locks, glass door fingerprint locks, fingerprint padlocks, apartment fingerprint locks, etc. Most of them are just the above opening methods, which are not fully used at home.

As far as appearance is concerned, smart door locks at home are generally huge. Take our smart door locks as an example, the average weight is 8- 10 kg, while the smart locks in apartments are mostly 4-6 kg, and the smart locks in glass doors are lower, generally 3-4 kg. This is also easy to understand. After all, other kinds of fingerprint locks are special locks. Because of the different scenes, there are many omitted functions, and the shapes are naturally different.

For example, there are only two ways to open the smart lock of the apartment above, namely swiping the card and the key, which is specifically aimed at the scene of the apartment hotel in short rent. It will be very inconvenient if you use this lock at home.
