The concept of smart home has been gradually popularized. As one of the hottest categories, smart lock has gradually become the hot object of many consumers. Many Internet companies and real estate companies are also aiming at the smart lock market. However, due to the lack of standards, China''s intelligent door lock industry has some problems, such as disorderly category, backward design, false high price, wrong version and so on. In order to further standardize the development of the industry, the safety and police electronic product quality inspection center of the Ministry of public security and the China hardware industry technology innovation strategic alliance recently jointly launched the revision of the new standard for electronic anti-theft locks. At present, the first draft of the new standard of electronic anti-theft lock has been completed and is in the stage of review.
Industry insiders believe that the improvement of the standard will further activate China''s intelligent lock market. Although the industry has a bright future, as a manufacturer, it still needs to be clear that the two major factors that need to be considered when smart home products enter ordinary people''s homes are safety and convenience.
Improving industry standards to promote the popularization of smart home products
Although the development of intelligent lock is in full swing, and it is also sought after by manufacturers and consumers, the intelligent lock market is still not standardized and standardized, and there are still some problems such as disordered categories, backward design, unreal high price and wrong version. However, consumers have many misunderstandings about intelligent door lock, such as fingerprint lock, iris lock, facial recognition and other intelligent locks of biometric identification. They think that the more functions of intelligent lock, the higher the safety factor. People tend to focus on "intelligence" and ignore its safety as a household product, and sometimes even manufacturers do not pay attention to it. This kind of misunderstanding also urges some businesses to take advantage of the opportunity to carry out false propaganda, exaggerate the function, attract people''s attention, and then raise the price, which disturbs the normal order of consumption and casts a shadow on the intelligent lock market. In order to further standardize the development of 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 safety and police electronic product quality inspection center and China''s hardware industry technology innovation strategic alliance jointly launched the revision of the new standard for electronic anti-theft locks. At present, the first draft of the new standard of electronic anti-theft lock has been completed and is in the stage of review.
Not only is there chaos in the "smart lock" market, but also the information security risks of smart home related products can not be ignored. In the era of big data, personal identity information and consumption habits of users have become all kinds of data that can be stored, processed, deeply dug and integrated, which brings opportunities for some high-tech criminals and brings safety risks that cannot be ignored in people''s lives.
At present, there are security risks and disorderly market in smart home. The fundamental reason is that the industry standards are not unified. The refinement and improvement of standards will inevitably make the smart home market glow with new vitality and promote the further standardization of the smart home market, which is a big benefit for the whole industry and consumers.
Intelligent ≠ reliable, safe and convenient is what the public needs
As a part of the emerging Internet products, smart lock should not be independent of smart home, but should complement the development of smart home. At present, China''s smart home is still in the primary stage of mode training, platform construction and user accumulation. How to grasp the "pain point" of consumers is the most worthy issue for manufacturers.
For consumers, choosing smart home products is a kind of trust in the product brand. Once the household products selected by consumers are fake and shoddy, it is not only easy to cause a blow to consumer confidence, but more importantly, it will bring negative impact on the whole enterprise image and even the whole industry.
