Fingerprint locks welcome good development opportunities to guide the market and analyze key points of purchase

    The successful sales of fingerprint locks on e-commerce platforms have opened up the fingerprint lock market. Its high-end quality has made fingerprint locks tend to replace traditional locks in the market. This is actually the result of rigid demand in real life and technological development. Consumers face a large number of products in the fingerprint lock market, and they must keep their eyes open when purchasing and choose the right products.
　　
　　E-commerce sales open up the fingerprint lock market and usher in a
　　
good opportunity for 　　development. Industry analysts predict that traditional locks will gradually decline in the next 10 years, and fingerprint locks will usher in a good opportunity for development. By 2020, the market penetration rate of fingerprint locks will increase from the current 5% to 15%, achieving a market value of more than 10 billion.
　　
　　The vast market space for fingerprint locks actually rose in 2010, but due to limited sales and publicity channels at the time, its development was very slow. Until 2013, after the fingerprint lock became a hit on the e-commerce network platform, it inspired a new scene of fingerprint lock retail, and a large number of advertisements were overwhelming. Such active marketing effectively guided consumers' consumption trends and made consumers focus on fingerprint locks instead of traditional locks.
　　
　　The popularity of fingerprint locks in online channels has also effectively driven the sales of physical stores. It is understood that last year, the sales of physical stores of multiple brands increased year-on-year, with an increase of about 20-50%, and some companies even achieved an increase of more than 100%.
　　
　　The sales of online stores and physical stores have caused the fingerprint lock retail market to suddenly change from a "blue ocean" to a "red ocean", indicating that fingerprint lock companies have gradually spread from traditional engineering channels to retail channels.
　　
　　The popularity of fingerprint locks is the result of market demand guidance
　　
　　. The popularity of fingerprint locks in online sales is inseparable from the market demand. There are many manufacturers of fingerprint locks in China, but there is a lack of products from well-known brands. Because fingerprint locks are high-tech products, the main working principles include fingerprint recognition algorithms and fingerprint collection technology in addition to automatic recognition technology. This also provides a direction for our state-owned brands to independently develop.
　　
　　Secondly, the public's requirements for the informatization and intelligence of security systems are constantly increasing. The access control system has gone through metal keys, access control IC cards, and now fingerprint locks, which reflects the progress of technology and the requirements of intelligent informatization. The biggest feature of fingerprint locks in terms of security is that they use the uniqueness of fingerprints as a biometric feature to ensure security to the greatest extent.
　　
　　Finally, there is a large number of elderly people, a special group, who have a large demand for fingerprint locks. I believe everyone has experienced that the elderly around them forget to bring door cards or keys when they go downstairs to throw away garbage; the wind blows the security door back when they go to the security door to pay for water and electricity. These scenes are all familiar. The emergence of fingerprint locks will prevent these phenomena from happening, and the elderly will no longer have to worry about forgetting to bring door cards or keys.
　　
　　The technological development of fingerprint locks and their market demand have jointly opened up the space for the future market of fingerprint locks, and the competition in the fingerprint lock industry has entered a new stage.
　　
　　Although fingerprint locks are still new, from the above three market prospect analysis, the future can be said to be full of opportunities.
　　
　　Fingerprint locks have many applications. How to choose fingerprint locks correctly?
　　
　　With more and more fingerprint lock consumers, how to choose fingerprint locks has become one of the reasons why many consumers find it difficult to make a decision. Here are three tips for buying fingerprint locks.
　　
　　Enterprise strength
　　
　　Before choosing a fingerprint lock, customers must understand the history of the company's entry into the fingerprint lock industry. Some companies have been established for several years and their business is just a small business, and the product quality is unstable. Companies with a long history have accumulated rich industry experience. Whether it is the application of fingerprint recognition technology or traditional lock-making technology, they can ensure the stability of product quality. Some companies or brands do not produce by themselves. After receiving orders, they outsource or assemble some links.
　　
　　Fingerprint locks are precision products. A finished product must go through 101 strict and exquisite standard processes. Product outsourcing or partial production naturally cannot control the product manufacturing process. In particular, many merchants now have fingerprint locks that are transformed from similar screwdriver factories or manufacturers that purchase and assemble spare parts, and the quality of the products cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, fingerprint locks with reliable quality are completed and controlled in their own factories throughout the process. In addition
　　
　　, the company's entry history should also be focused on. Generally, companies that have been rooted in the industry for more than 10 years have often experienced sufficient market testing and accumulated rich industry experience. Whether it is the application of fingerprint lock recognition technology or traditional lock-making technology, they can guarantee the stability of product quality. If an enterprise cannot even reach the minimum production improvement cycle (5 years), then consumers should pay attention to avoid it. Looking at a company's product line is often a relatively effective way to judge its industry history. If a company has only sold a few fingerprint locks in the market, it is often still in the starting stage of the industry, and its product quality assurance is definitely not convincing.
　　
　　Product technical capabilities
　　
　　Fingerprint locks are high-tech products. Only fingerprint locks with core technologies can be invincible in the fierce market competition. Excellent fingerprint lock products often have independent intellectual property rights and multiple patents in key technologies such as fingerprint recognition algorithms and lock body structures. Those companies that just blindly imitate others or purely purchase and assemble will not only have considerable risks in overall product control, but also face legal risks of intellectual property rights at any time in business operations, making it difficult to develop steadily, not to mention how to protect consumers' family safety.
　　
　　From the perspective of quality and technology, a truly stable fingerprint lock must fundamentally prohibit the installation of the drive motor in the heart of the door lock - the mortise lock body (the normal use of the motor is based on various ideal environments and conditions. The mortise lock body will withstand huge vibrations every time the door is closed and opened, especially with cheap motors made in China, the quality stability is even more difficult to guarantee.) Moreover, the traditional motor drive structure produces friction, which makes the fingerprint lock prone to failure, seriously affecting the service life of the door lock.
　　
　　In addition, whether the fingerprint lock mortise lock body has eliminated the outdated second-generation mortise lock body (lifting the lock body: the large square tongue is ejected by lifting the handle outside the room), because vulnerable groups (such as the elderly and children) will forget to lock the door when opening and closing it, leaving hidden dangers of stalking and burglary.
　　
　　After-sales service capabilities
　　
　　Effective after-sales service is an important criterion for measuring a fingerprint lock brand. Fingerprint locks are durable products. On-site installation means that the service has just begun. Strong fingerprint lock manufacturers will provide free warranty services and extend the warranty period of the product. And promise that within a certain period of time, the free warranty includes the mechanical and electronic parts of the fingerprint lock.
　　
　　When buying a fingerprint lock, you must understand whether the fingerprint lock brand has a national after-sales service outlet, whether it is convenient for users to open a national unified free after-sales service hotline, and promise to provide problem-solving solutions 24 hours a day.
　 　
　　Extension: Fingerprint lock technical parameter reference
　　
　　Fingerprint lock technical parameters mainly include fingerprint capacity, light sensing resolution, verification comparison time, rejection rate, false recognition rate, recognition angle, working voltage, working environment, etc.
　　
　　1. Fingerprint capacity The maximum storage capacity of fingerprints that can be registered by the fingerprint head.
　　
　　2. Light sensing resolution The accuracy of the optical fingerprint head when reading the fingerprint image. In theory, the higher the resolution, the better. At present, the light sensing resolution of the fingerprint head is generally 500DPI (dots per inch).
　　
　　3. Verification comparison time is also called matching time, which is the time difference from the start of fingerprint collection to the giving of fingerprint matching results.
　　
　　4. Rejection rate The proportion of fingerprint images collected by the same finger that are judged as non-same fingers when performing 1:1 matching, expressed as a percentage.
　　
　　5. False recognition rate The proportion of fingerprint images collected by different fingers that are judged as the same finger when performing 1:1 matching, expressed as a percentage.
　　
　　6. Recognition angle: The allowed angle when placing the finger on the fingerprint head when collecting fingerprints.
　　
　　7. Working voltage The voltage required for normal operation. Currently, fingerprint locks on the market are mainly powered by batteries, with a rated voltage of 6V (generally using 4 No. 5 alkaline batteries). In addition, according to industry standards, fingerprint locks should have a backup power supply. In order to solve the backup power supply problem, the manufacturer added an emergency power supply interface device to the lock shell when designing the product, which can be powered by a 9V laminated battery or other equivalent power supply.
　　
　　8. Working environment The environment can include mechanical environment and climatic environment, generally referred to as climatic environment. It includes low temperature, high temperature, and constant humidity and heat, which is a measure of the fingerprint lock's adaptability to the external climate environment.
