Spotted Cat Smart Lock, an online upgradeable lock

With the gradual maturity of mobile Internet technology, the possibility of smart home has been quickly confirmed, and has become a hot market that all parties strive for. We can see that in the past two years, all kinds of smart hardware around the family scene have mushroomed before consumers.

Although some products are only a concept or model, we can see through the passion of all parties to see the huge energy in this market. It is generally believed that the market size of smart homes should be in the trillion-dollar level, and the Internet of Things industry represented by smart homes is called the “third wave” of the development of the world's information industry following computers and the Internet.

Competitive smart door locks

Therefore, we see an endless stream of smart speakers, smart door locks, and intelligent temperature control products on the market. A large number of “intelligent” products that are powered by mobile Internet have emerged. Whether or not you become their consumers, it is certain that your eyes and attention must be influenced by these "new species."

In the midst of this, smart locks are becoming a “mouthpiece” for domestic major manufacturers to compete with each other, and the situation that foreign giants are fighting in the field of smart speakers is quite different. The reason why this industry has a strong "Chinese characteristics" is because smart locks in the domestic product penetration rate of less than 5%, while developed countries in Europe and America are generally more than 50%.

According to statistics, smart lock sales are expected to reach 8 million units in 2017. It is expected that by 2020, the global smart lock industry will reach 51 million units, and the Chinese market will have a sales volume of 32 million units. Considering that China has 400 million households, this figure is not an exaggeration. All signs indicate that the domestic smart lock market is on the eve of an eruption, and the intention of all parties to expedite their entry is self-evident.

In the face of huge market opportunities, all are coveted, but it's not so easy to really get a cup. The eight immortals crossed the sea and each showed a supernatural power. It seems that each participant can reach “the other side” through his own skills. However, please note that this is not a battle between "mortal people" but a contest between "divines". If mortals want to achieve self-restraint, they must undergo some practice.

In the field of smart homes, there are numerous market participants and very few devoted practitioners. More people are only looking to become one of the big waves in the sea and ferry them to their destinations through the tide of smart homes. Therefore, participants who are forward-looking and autonomous from the solution to the product are always rare, including spotted cats that are known as "Internet of Things home security leader."

Remote interaction is a smart "basic" function

We distinguish whether a product is "smart", mainly based on the range of "autonomous" capabilities of the product in the human-computer interaction process. In general, the higher the level of product autonomy, the less human participation, and accordingly, the higher the degree of product intelligence.

In the field of smart homes, everyone has reached the consensus that smart interaction that exceeds space constraints is the attribute of smart homes. Products that require direct “contact” are apparently out of order. Therefore, the new generation of iPhone X has changed its fingerprint recognition to "brushing the face." The direction of technological advancement can always be seen in a corner.

The features of remote unlocking, Bluetooth short-range unlocking, and remote setting of temporary passwords are all supported by the Dotted Cat Internet of Things fingerprint lock. Users only need to control the door lock opening right through the mobile phone, and set various application functions of the door lock through the APP. Although this "breakthrough" is not a cheat only, it does represent the "evolution" direction of the lock.

Remote online upgrade allows products to self-iterate

Not only that, Spotted Cat Internet of Things fingerprint lock also has advanced OTA (Long-distance online upgrade) function, making the product vitality be extended. In this way, the user can buy back the door locks at any time to carry out functional upgrades, and will not be quickly "eliminated."

Spotted cats have entered the smart home market with the product concept of “hardware, software, cloud, and cloud services”. They hope to meet the personalized needs of users through the innovation of product working mechanisms. Through software-level updates and iterations, the overall user experience is enhanced.

Smart linkage expands product usage scenarios

In order to allow more interactions between products and products to meet the application of more intelligent scenes, spotted cats allow door locks to be linked with products such as cameras, cat eyes, and door magnetics. The user can set various action sequences through the APP, allowing the product to perform related actions through the "logical relationship" between each other, thereby satisfying his own intelligent life needs.

In this way, the use scenario of a single product is greatly expanded. Users can achieve more complex and more personalized application scenarios through product linkage, and achieve a high degree of “customization” within the scope of product attributes.
