Fingerprint lock outbreak biometric maturity

It is understood that fingerprint lock is a kind of intelligent lock with human fingerprint as a carrier and means of identification. It is a perfect crystallization of computer information technology, electronic technology, mechanical technology and modern hardware technology. Fingerprint locks generally consist of two parts: electronic identification and control, and mechanical linkage system. The uniqueness and non-replicability of the fingerprint determines that the fingerprint lock is the safest kind of lock among all the current locks.

Fingerprint locks, as a derivative of access control identification, rely on the development of biometrics technology. Foreign countries have gradually emerged into more families. For our domestic market, the popularity of fingerprint locks is far less popular than its reputation. However, for the security market, fingerprint locks still have explosive market potential. Let us analyze the market prospects of fingerprint locks.

There are quite a few domestic manufacturers who produce fingerprint locks, but they lack the products of well-known brands. Compared with the recent American Keylock fingerprint locks, which are frequently exposed, the fingerprint locks made by domestic brands can be said to be obscure. The only thing that has recently emerged is the Putai fingerprint lock. Of course, the brands that can be called up are very few. Because fingerprint locks belong to high-tech products, the main working principle among them is not only automatic identification technology, but also fingerprint recognition algorithm and fingerprint acquisition technology. This also provides a direction for the independent research and development of our state-owned brands.

Second, the nationals’ requirements for the informationization and intelligence of the security system continue to increase. The access control system has gone through the metal key to today's access control IC card, and now to the fingerprint lock, it reflects the technological progress and intelligent information requirements. The greatest feature of the fingerprint lock security is the uniqueness of the use of fingerprints as a biometric, which ensures maximum security.

Third, there is a need for fingerprint locks for this special group of old people. It is believed that everyone has experienced that old people around the house go to the building to throw garbage and forget to bring the door card or key; the security door’s diplomatic utility bill winds the security door back and these scenes are all familiar. The emergence of fingerprint locks will prevent these phenomena from happening, and elderly people will no longer have to worry about forgetting to bring their cards or keys.

Fingerprint locks are still new, but from the perspective of the above three-point market analysis, the future can be said to be full of opportunities. However, in the face of this huge industry Blue Ocean, security companies must also calmly analyze its problems.

First, the degree of identification needs to be improved. At present, some people's fingerprints are often rejected. This issue is the main barrier to the promotion of fingerprint recognition products. The combination of fingerprint identification and IC card recognition is currently a solution to this problem.

Secondly, the installation cost is too high. It is understood that the price of an ordinary fingerprint lock is between 1,500 and 4,000 yuan. The price of fingerprint locks applied to villas will be even higher. Compared to several access control IC cards and card readers, it can be said to be much more expensive.

The third independent R&D still needs to work hard. Domestic fingerprint lock companies mainly focus on assembly and system integration. Independent R&D is still a minority and lacks core technologies. This is also a major issue that restricts the development of fingerprint locks in China and is also a key to reducing costs. If you want to open the domestic market of fingerprint locks, cross-technical barriers are of the highest priority.

The fourth after-sales service system is in urgent need of improvement. Fingerprint lock is not a simple relationship between a key and a lock, but a result of high technology, which covers technologies such as chips and biometrics. Therefore, users need a process in understanding and using it. Therefore, this cannot Less perfect after-sales service.

Soon after the emergence of new creatures, these problems can be seen. It is a good thing for fingerprint locks. When there is a new market area that can drive development in every industry, how to calmly face its own existing problems and seek ways to solve problems is the way for security companies to develop. Fingerprint lock is a product of high technology, and it is also a product of people's increasing demand for safe life. The author earnestly hopes that it can overcome various barriers and can go smoothly, providing another wave of development for security companies.
