The concept of smart home has gradually become popular, and as a hot-selling category, smart locks have gradually become the object of many consumers. Many Internet companies and real estate manufacturers have also targeted the smart lock market. However, due to the lack of standards, China's smart door lock industry has problems such as disordered products, backward design, high price, and incorrect versions. In order to further standardize the development, the Ministry of Public Security's Safety and Police Electronic Product Quality Testing Center and China Hardware Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance jointly launched the revision of the "New Standard for Electronic Anti-theft Locks". At present, the "New Standard for Electronic Anti-theft Locks" has completed the first draft and is in the review stage.
The industry believes that the improvement of standards will further activate China's smart lock market. Although the industry prospects are clear, as the manufacturers still need to be clear, the two major factors that smart home products need to consider when entering the ordinary people's homes are safety and convenience.
Industry standards improve the popularity of smart home products
Despite the development of smart locks, which are popular among manufacturers and consumers, the smart lock market is still not standardized and standardized. There are still problems such as chaotic products, backward design, high price, and incorrect products. . Consumers also have many misunderstandings about the new things of smart door locks. For example, simple smart locks such as biometric fingerprint locks, irises, and face recognition can be used for theft prevention. The more the smart lock function is, the higher the safety factor is. People tend to focus on "intelligence" and ignore the safety of their products as home products, and sometimes even manufacturers do not pay attention. This misunderstanding of cognition also prompted some merchants to take the opportunity to make false propaganda, exaggerate the eyeballs of functional bloggers and raise the selling price, which disrupted the normal consumption order and cast a shadow on the smart lock market. In order to further standardize the development of the electronic anti-theft lock industry and improve the overall quality and grade level of China's electronic anti-theft lock products, the Ministry of Public Security's Safety and Police Electronic Product Quality Testing Center and China's Hardware Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance jointly launched the "Electronic Anti-theft Lock New Revision of the Standards. At present, the "New Standard for Electronic Anti-theft Locks" has completed the first draft and is in the review stage.
Not only the “smart lock” market has chaos, but the information security risks of smart home related products cannot be ignored. In the era of big data, the personal identity information and consumption habits of users have become various data that can be stored, processed, deep-examined and integrated, which gives some high-tech criminals a chance to give people Life brings hidden dangers that cannot be underestimated.
At present, the fundamental reason for the safety risks of smart homes and the chaos of the market is that the industry standards are not unified. The refinement and improvement of the standard will inevitably bring new vitality to the smart home market and promote the further standardization of the smart home market, which is a big plus for the whole industry and consumers.
Smart, reliable, safe and convenient
Smart locks, as part of emerging Internet products, should not be independent of smart homes, but should complement the development of smart homes. At present, China's smart home is still in the initial stage of model cultivation, platform construction and user accumulation. How smart home products capture the “pain point” of consumers is a problem worthy of discussion for manufacturers.
For consumers, choosing smart home products is a kind of trust in product brands. Once consumers choose home products that are fake and shoddy, it is not only easy to hit consumer confidence, but more importantly, the entire corporate image and the entire industry. Have a negative impact.
