Binocular 3D face recognition & visual cat's eye camera, VOC T10plus smart lock experience
preface
Smart locks have been very popular, the price has also changed from thousands of yuan to 100 yuan, many new houses handed over after 2020 are mostly free fingerprint password locks, simple and easy to use, farewell to the key, greatly improving the door opening experience.
I am also a smart device enthusiast, since 2018 I have successively replaced every house in the home with fingerprint locks, the development in the past two years is also quite large, in the past door lock distribution network also have to buy a special gateway, the price is also expensive, can not do monitoring. Now it can all be made into one.
Recently, I also updated the smart lock at home, as a Huawei family bucket user, I chose VOC T10plus that can be connected to Huawei's smart home, with a high appearance and a good sense of technology.
After using it for a few days, the feeling is not bad, after using face recognition to unlock, the whole family has said goodbye to fingerprints and passwords, and the following shares the experience of use.
VOC T10plus face recognition smart lock use experience
Face recognition is the main feature of this lock, in fact, by 2022, 3D face recognition application range is very wide, from the face recognition of mobile phones to sweeping robot terrain recognition, today's door locks also use more advanced 3D for face recognition and verification.
This VOC T10 plus adopts 3D binocular face recognition technology, with a high-performance dual-processor 3D recognition module, which effectively rejects photos and videos from being stolen and has good security; It also supports infrared night vision, which can be easily recognized and unlocked even if the light is low at night!
The actual experience is very good, only 1s pause time to complete face authentication recognition and unlocking, almost the same as the experience of the flagship mobile phone, in the same kind of face recognition lock body has a better experience.
Another detail was found, when the face recognition panel and sensor are lit up in advance when the person walks to the lock, another technology is involved: the centimeter-wave radar sensor.
The centimeter-wave radar sensor can emit radar waves to sense moving objects, and the range is larger and farther than the camera, so as to realize near-field human body sensing, reduce the waiting time for the sensor to start, and further improve the user experience.
In addition to optimizing the unlock time, the addition of centimeter wave radar induction also realizes the safety monitoring capture function, which automatically triggers the cat's eye camera capture when it detects that someone stays in front of the door for a long time, and saves the picture to send APP messages, which improves the security ability, and by the way, helps me look at the pile of toy scooter bicycles that add up to thousands of children at the door.
The height of this 4-inch IPS screen is especially child-friendly, and children at home can use it smoothly to avoid blindly opening the door when encountering strangers.
Other unlocking methods are fingerprint, password, CPU card and mobile phone NFC, which are also highly used methods.
【Fingerprint unlock】
The fingerprint module is designed inside the handle, this position can effectively prevent collision damage, the measured recognition rate and speed are good, it is inconvenient to carry out face recognition when wearing a mask during the epidemic, and fingerprint unlocking can be used.
【Password Unlock】
The temporary password unlocking method is suitable for housekeeping staff, and when it is busy, make an appointment with a cleaning or nanny to directly inform the temporary password, without leaving someone to wait at home.
The password keys have an ergonomic inclination design, which can be seen with a slight bow, and the sensitivity of the key area is not bad.
【Card Unlock】
【Mobile phone NFC unlock】
【Magnetic card unlocking】
In addition, there are more convenient to carry cards, measured in addition to the standard encrypted magnetic card, mobile phone NFC and other conventional access control cards can be entered into the identification, to achieve the function of "one card".
For example, villa users, from the community access control to the entrance garden to the entrance door with multiple different doors, can enter the same card information, go out only need to bring a card.
You can also turn on a higher security level of two-factor authentication unlocking, two-pair authentication, and you don't have to worry about theft after the card is lost or the password is leaked after turning on two-factor authentication.
T10 Plus supports Hongmeng Intelligent Connection, supports smart home linkage, can view the lock status and information after network configuration, assign management keys to each user, automatically record the information of unlocking personnel, and send doorbell notifications and personnel stay warnings.
As a Huawei family bucket user, you can also add automatic scenes, such as automatically turning on the lights when you go home, automatically turning off the air conditioner and other equipment after setting the home mode, and turning on the sweeping robot or camera arming mode, which is also an important part of smart life.
In terms of battery life, as a face recognition + smart cat's eye smart lock, the power consumption in the impression is relatively large, the standard is a 5000mAh rechargeable lithium battery, the official gives a battery life of 4-6 months, there will not be much battery life anxiety.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a dual-battery design, after the lithium battery is not charged, it will automatically switch to the spare 4 dry batteries to continue to power supply, and the double guarantee gives sufficient fault tolerance time, very professional design.
Of course, even if the power is dead, you can use the mechanical key to unlock the emergency and temporarily unlock the power supply through the external charging port.
I have also encountered the situation that the smart door lock battery is dead, with a Type-C cable can be charged, no data cable can go to the door of the grocery store downstairs to rent a charging treasure, run fast to solve the problem within 5 minutes, charging treasure does not have to be charged.
Finally, the installation experience is also good, the appointment day will come to the door, change the lock installation in 20 minutes to get it, very professional.
summary
In general, the face unlock experience of this VOC T10 plus is very good, the complex face information recognition and processing of 3D binocular recognition is very fast, and the door is basically opened in seconds, refreshing my cognition of face recognition smart door locks.
The addition of intelligent cat's eye also makes up for the lack of door locks in security, and in the case of people wandering and staying, it will automatically take photos and push APP message warnings, and a lock can complete the security of the door and improve the security level.
Harmony Smart Connect is supported, enabling device linkage after connecting to Huawei's smart life, improving the intelligent experience of the whole house.
There is also a good performance in terms of battery life, the dual battery design avoids battery anxiety, and the rechargeable lithium battery lasts for 4-6 months, which is already a good performance for a lock with human recognition plus smart cat's eye.
However, Smart Maoyan does not support remote mobile phone video and voice dialogue, which is a slight pity.
