See how smart locks make safe and convenient coexistence - Xiaoyan S8 cloud smart lock experience

Door locks, I believe that everyone can come into contact with them in everyday life. As the family's first and most important security barrier, I believe that many people have also faced a puzzle. Should this be the same as choosing a one-size-fits-all mechanical lock? Faster, smarter fingerprint locks? Although there have been such entanglement, fingerprint smart locks have always had two puzzles in the minds of traditional users. One is the concern about the safety and reliability of electronic products, and there is a prohibitive price for smart locks. I think this is also Many people have been aware of the convenience of fingerprint smart locks, but have not chosen two very key reasons for fingerprint locks.

    

On the other hand, I think that many people have had the experience of being locked out of the door with a key that was forgotten and helpless. I also encountered running out in the morning and taking the wrong key. As a result, I could only run to the company’s fun. If we can give up the heavy keychain and easily open the door through fingerprints, passwords or mobile phones, this experience is what many people want to try. This time, I also had the privilege of experiencing this small S8 cloud smart fingerprint lock from Dessmann Dschmann, a fingerprint lock brand in China.

See the small S8 smart lock

Received this small S8 smart lock when the SF's brother took the door, and the S8's weight is quite enough. White simple packaging design, the middle of the DI word LOGO, make this S8 become a bit small and fresh.

Before getting a small pimple, the user must judge the direction of their own open/close door according to the information provided by the official, whether there is a heaven and earth hook, and measure the key data such as the size of the door sash and the lock body to ensure that the installation is in place at one time. Among the accessories of the S8, we can see the inside door handle, the outside door handle of the fingerprint and touch-type numeric keypad, the door lock body, the battery, the key, the main accessories, the manual, and the opening map. It should be noted that if If you think that a small partner with good hands-on ability wants to install it, personal advice is still forgotten, and it is more reliable for professionals.

Xiaoyan S8 inside and outside the door handle material is a three-layer crystal diamond plating drawing, so that the appearance becomes more sophisticated look, compared to the paint process, quality appears high-end atmosphere, gloss and texture even more impressive. The 304 stainless steel lock body, so that the quality of the entire lock body came to 5KG, so that violent unlocking becomes more difficult, and this weight is also guaranteed SF home, I think Xiaoyan's sincerity is still full.

Unlike its predecessor, the Xiaoyan S8's fingerprint and numeric keypad is no longer a hidden design. Instead, it is a brand new open design. The newly adopted 5A diamond touch screen has the advantages of being harder, more stable, and more resistant. Grinding, touch feel is also quite outstanding, but the sensitivity and accuracy have also been greatly improved. On the most important fingerprint recognition area, Xiaoyan S8 provides 360° fingerprint collection technology. Faster recognition speed and recognition accuracy ensure the accuracy and speed of opening the door. Memory growth and fingerprint repair function also improve the stability of fingerprint recognition. .

The small split S8 is equipped with a solid separate handle to ensure that it can meet 100,000 opening and closing, and the normal service life can exceed 20 years. However, this theoretical data can be understood. The lock after 20 years does not know how long it is.

Do not think that the smart lock can not use the key, in addition to electronic, smart way to open, Kosaka S8 also supports the key to open, but the key hole is designed at the inconspicuous bottom, while also designing a USB jack, in order to ensure In the case of a loss of power to the S8, the emergency opens. In addition to smart anti-theft guarantee, the small S8 lock cylinder is also super B-level cylinder, as a professional anti-theft level of super B-level cylinder, but also the highest level of safety at the current category.

In fact, the biggest difference in smart locks is the circuit boards and lines hidden in the lock body.

Inside door handles small tick S8 is used in all plating drawing process, so that the inner door looks very comfortable, texture also makes people feel very engaging, the largest in the door handles and outer door handles different is focused on the battery compartment, locked The knob and Bluetooth pairing button at the bottom of the lock.

The battery compartment of the Otaru S8 can accommodate 8 AA batteries. At first glance, the battery needs are a bit scary, but according to the installation master's introduction, Otaru S8 can use 4 batteries for direct power supply without the need for a complete 8 The difference is that the use time of four batteries is about six months or so, and users who are not at home often choose 8 batteries to make the product more reliable. Frequently used users do not need to worry about the battery problem. The S8 also has a low-power alarm function. In the case of a weak battery, the user will be reminded to replace the battery in time to ensure the normal use of the smart lock.

The Oyster S8 lock body is made of 304 stainless steel body material, strong and durable, in the hardness and anti-violent destruction also reached the level of mainstream high-end anti-theft lock. Xiaoyan S8 uses four groups of stainless steel solid bolts, and the tongue is automatically popping according to the state of the door, and does not need to be lifted like some security doors to pop up the tongue, it is worth noting that the small The S8 also has a false lock alarm to prevent the door locks from inadvertently earning income when the user is half-handled, resulting in friction between the world hook and the ground, or unnecessary impact of the bolt on the door frame to cause deformation of the lock tongue.

The biggest difference between the S8 lock body and the conventional lock body comes from a cable, and the S8 is also equipped with a starter motor. When the smart lock is unlocked, the motor rotates and the lock tongue is retracted so that the user can easily open the door. There is no need to open the world hook as many times as traditional mechanical locks. When the top set of bolts enters the slot, the starter motor locks the other bolts immediately, and the user does not need to lock the anti-theft door again. This is more convenient and quicker.

Installation and after-sales

As a smart fingerprint lock, I believe that the vast majority of users do not have installation and use experience, then the lock body installation and after-sales is also very critical, and as a veteran smart fingerprint lock manufacturers, has been in the country's major The city has set up installation and after-sales service outlets. After receiving the Xiaoyan S8, I also contacted the after-sales service for the first time. Due to the weekend, the after-sales staff performed the on-site installation the next day.

In the early period when measuring the product size, due to the personal measurement method, the opening layout on the door, and the size of the fingerprint lock, there were some errors in the dimensions. The installation master made detailed measurements on the opening and replaced some accessories. At the same time, openings and alignments were made to the necessary locations. The weather was really hot recently. The master had been installed for two hours. The water did not remember to take a drink. The service attitude was worthy of recognition.

After the installation is completed, the installation master will explain the use of the APP from the beginning to the end, all the unlocking methods, prompting to change the account password, and telling all the precautions when using the smart lock. The service attitude is indeed worthy of praise.

APP use

Xiao Xiao smart housekeeper as a small sister S8's partner, undertook a very important part of the task of intelligent unlocking, and whether this part of the task can be well implemented also relates to this smart lock in the user experience of the direct sense. By scanning the QR code on the battery compartment, we can easily pair with the S8. However, when using a small butler to set up, it is very critical that in some settings and operations, users need to click the Bluetooth button on the inner door handle, which also ensures the loss of the two-dimensional code and the loss of the password Next, key data and information were tampered with.

After entering the APP, we can check the device information, understand the after-sales maintenance and help feedback, but because the APP is still optimized, many features are not perfect. In the device list, when the lock name is long pressed, four function windows appear, namely, rename, personality setting, management setting, and authorization opening.

We can use the personality setting function to select the way to unlock the phone, so that you do not need to press a password or enter a fingerprint, go to the door, shake the phone, and draw a gesture to open the door. Although the operation is not strong, but I will give this X features 99 points. In the personality setting, the user can also set the opening tone according to the need, and at the same time, the initial password for unlocking is changed. The 8 8 is really too easy to be cracked, isn't it?

Entering the management setting menu, we can click to register the mobile phone account to make necessary settings for some key information, such as the door opening mode, fingerprint addition, and time setting of the fingerprint password function. In the fingerprint entry, first need to open the Bluetooth button on the lock body, according to the requirements of the instructions long press 3 seconds or more, and then through the fingerprint on the door lock to enter the fingerprint entry, rather than through the phone to enter the fingerprint entry, but this feature Can be added at the right time.

In S8, we can store 80 fingerprints at the same time. This number of fingerprints is sufficient for the whole family. Through the fingerprint management function, we can also delete fingerprints that are not frequently used, and use passwords to unlock the doors. The main purpose of family management features from fingerprint door reminding everyone of the function, the user can receive the associated information is associated with the user to open the door, and view it in the APP information query. The alarm setting is for different people. For example, the home sitter is working from 8 to 20 points. If the nanny is not able to open the door lock during non-working hours, the fingerprint outside the set time will be recognized as S8. Invalid door open.

In order to ensure the security of the password, we can replace the password frequently in the Xiaoxuan butler app. If the password is forgotten, then you can reset the password according to the instructions. It is worth noting that for this smart lock, Duchman will often upgrade the firmware to ensure that the small problems encountered during use will not affect the use of security.

A variety of unlocking methods

First, how to ensure the user's property safety key unlock, how to ensure that the smart lock can be accurately opened, these two have become the key to the development of smart locks. In the S8, we have learned that the lock cylinder uses the super-B lock cylinder that is currently installed, so that this smart lock can be opened to the maximum extent by a thief, and the design of the upper lock tongue also allows Those who want to use the card to open the top become fragile, plus the world hook, I think this lock has been done well in the mechanical security. The keyhole of the Xiaoyan S8 is located below the lock body. When the lock is unlocked, just align it with the hole, rotate it 90 degrees, and with the help of the unlocking motor, it is very easy to open the lock.

Second, unlock the phone This method can be based on their own settings in the APP to operate, you can shake, click, graphic unlock and other ways, if you are not at home, it is also not easy to tell the password to other friends, Then you can use the temporary authorization method to allow guests to sit at the advanced door, which is very convenient.

Third, the digital password this way as the highlight of the smart lock, I believe we will not be unfamiliar, but how to ensure the safety of unlocking, not to be peeped, this is also very important, and in the small S8 added virtual password function, for example The password for your home is 888888. When a stranger or someone who is not convenient to tell the password is nearby, you can enter the combination of any number plus 888888 plus any number to open the door, as long as the password appears in the adjacent location. Can be unlocked directly. The advantage of this is to prevent people from peeping passwords and to prevent others from checking the fingerprints on the keys to retrieve passwords.

Fourth, fingerprint unlocking As a smart lock has a key unlock mode, but also easy to open the key to unlock, fingerprint unlocking is the main selling point of this small S8. In fingerprint unlocking, 80 sets of fingerprints can be stored in S8 to ensure the use of the whole family. In S8, fingerprint learning and repair functions are added. After multiple uses, fingerprint recognition speed will be found. There is a certain degree of improvement. It is worth noting that when the children open the door, because the fingers are small, the fingers can not be too deep, and the fingers should be placed on the recognition window, so as to improve the accuracy and speed of recognition.

V. Security As the most important security protection for the family, Xiaoyan S8 has also done a very critical design. First of all, the firmness of the lock body has been correspondingly improved. The overall quality of the lock has reached 5KG and 5 times. Wrong password, 10 fingerprint identification errors, S8 will alarm the first time. In the same way, when S8 encounters violent external unlocking, the lock body will issue an alarm to warn the opener of violence, and will also inform the user via mobile phone information to perform warning reminders. In addition to the false-lock alarm and low-battery alarm mentioned in the previous paragraph, the S8 can be said to be safe enough.

to sum up:

I had received a little S8 and had been installed for several days. During this period of time, Xiao Yan's performance in fingerprint identification and password unlocking was very satisfying to me. Once the worry about smart locks disappeared. From this little S8, a good design can first make this smart lock look very atmospheric, and at the same time beyond the configuration of traditional mechanical locks, durable solid lock cylinder, super B-level lock cylinder, more secure Reliable design, let me have full confidence in the S8, although this S8 is not yet available, but in the next August is about to usher in Jingdong crowdfunding, and believe that such a smart fingerprint lock will not Hakata More people's recognition, and the crowdfunding price of 1599 yuan, I believe many people will look forward to it.
