Too many ways to open the smart lock not only can be opened with fingerprint, but also can set remote control, phone unlock, identification card unlock and other ways to unlock, so it opens the more ways, its security stability is weakened.
Unstable battery life Usually manufacturers indicate that the battery life of fingerprint lock can reach one year, but in practical application, many need to be replaced with half a year, and the battery does not prompt users to replace, bringing trouble to users.

Safety index

The security core of A lock is the lock core, and the lock core of the smart lock uses the super B-level or above lock core, which can prevent the technology from opening for more than 270 minutes.
