Smart locks have been more and more loved by consumers and become a necessity in home life. However, in the process of purchase, in the face of the overwhelming publicity about smart locks and all kinds of smart lock products online, offline and in the circle of friends, most consumers will be at a loss and can't figure out how to choose.

Indeed, the smart lock industry is now in a stage of vigorous development, and various enterprises have entered the industry to show their skills in order to get a piece of cake. According to a rough estimate, there are at least 1000 brands on the market, including international well-known brands such as Samsung and Panasonic, as well as domestic well-known brands such as Haier and Skyworth, However, more brands are unknown. In addition, the current Internet information is mixed, and the information between consumers and manufacturers is seriously unequal. If you are not careful, you will make a wrong choice; Choosing the wrong smart lock products will bring potential threats to family safety.

Next, I'll bring you some of the most common misunderstandings when purchasing smart locks.

One of the misunderstandings: foreign brands are good brands

Many consumers will take it for granted that the products of foreign brands are good, but it is not necessarily true in the intelligent lock industry. Although the foreign intelligent lock technology is mature, it is not very suitable for China's national conditions. When used on China's anti-theft doors, the products often have incomplete functions or frequent failures in the process of installation and use, In terms of cost performance, it is far inferior to domestic high-quality products.

In addition, in the process of purchasing, you will always come into contact with various brands under the banner of Germany, Sweden and the United States. No matter which country the other party plays, you only need to be clear: at present, the most common foreign brands in the domestic market are Samsung, Yale and gettman, and their meeting rates such as Panasonic are relatively low. In addition to these brands, Most of the foreign brands you meet are fake foreign devils. You must be careful. Of course, many products in these brands are of good quality, and even do not lose to foreign products, but don't pay more because of the other party's false propaganda.

Myth 2: casually take the information on the Internet as a reference for purchase

Most of the information disseminated on the Internet has its own purpose, which is the same for smart locks. I once saw an article written by unknown people in zhihuli openly attacking FPC fingerprint head, a product representing the highest professional level in Sweden. It is said that it is not like optical fingerprint head, and there are various and various evaluations, so-called It can be said that none of the "top ten brands of XXX smart lock" and "the favorite smart lock brand of XXX consumers" are real and valuable for reference. In fact, they are the results of all kinds of unscrupulous media and institutions in order to circle money or attract attention, which will greatly mislead consumers' purchase behavior.

Myth 3: online purchase of smart locks is really affordable

Many consumers like to shop online for the sake of cheapness and convenience, but when buying smart locks, in addition to paying attention to the price, they must also pay attention to who is responsible for the installation, maintenance and other services of smart locks. If online customer service claims that it is the responsibility of offline physical stores, they should pay more attention to go to offline physical stores for consultation to see if this is the case, and if they get it If the result is positive, you can buy with confidence. If the brand has no offline physical stores or can't get the support of offline high-quality services, you'd better give up and spend as much money as possible to buy in offline physical stores, which will basically be reassuring and satisfactory.

When purchasing smart locks, you must take the service level provided offline as an important reference index. It is not recommended to buy so-called Internet brands that do not have the support of offline high-quality services. It will make you feel more relieved to go shopping in offline regular franchise stores in large shopping malls.

Myth 4: the more functions, the better the product

Although the smart lock is only a household product, it applies many advanced electronic technologies, communication technologies and biometric technologies. Therefore, the functions of the products you see in the market can be said to be full of tricks. For example, iris recognition technology has been applied in biometric technology, which is a high-tech technology that can only be seen in American blockbusters Consumers are attracted by all kinds of strange functions, and then impulsively buy products they don't really need. After use, they find that many functions can't be used at all, and even some functions are not mature enough to affect the use of products.

Myth 5: the higher the brand awareness, the better

To buy a smart lock, you should choose a professional brand. To judge whether it is a professional brand, you should first analyze the information collected on the Internet, such as whether the official website is formal and whether there are some significant negative information. Secondly, you should judge it through the product itself, such as the beauty of the appearance, the sensitivity of fingerprint identification, the smoothness of sliding cover operation, the size of sound, and the surface Third and most important, we should make further understanding through our relatives and friends who have used the smart lock. After all, the users who use the smart lock products in person have the most say, and their recommendations are correct.

At present, many brand enterprises from all walks of life attach great importance to the smart lock project and launch their own products, but the vast majority of them take the form of OEM, lack their own core competitiveness, the price is falsely high, and the service is divorced from its original after-sales service system and has not been better guaranteed. In this case, consumers might as well choose to buy professional products Cards. Professional is the best!

After understanding the above five purchase misunderstandings and rational analysis and treatment, I believe that every consumer will buy satisfactory products.
