Full time gatekeeper - Xiaodi S8 smart lock evaluation

preface:

After entering the era of Internet of Things, young people have undoubtedly become the main force of consumers. With the intellectualization of products, young people's demands for comfort, convenience and personalization of living space far outweigh their demands for living space. The first step of home intellectualization is the intellectualization of security products, so home camera, fingerprint lock, access control and defense have become the primary products under the trend of home intellectualization. At the same time, in this age of looking at the face, consumers are also increasingly demanding about their appearance. Driven by many critical indicators such as small and beautiful, small and comprehensive, the functions of security products are finally integrated into a smart lock. One lock replaces one set of security equipment, and it is becoming a trend to open an intelligent home for consumers. To maximize the convenience of life with the least and least space occupying smart home facilities is the eternal pursuit of Xiaodi S8 Cloud Smart Lock. When intelligent hardware manufacturers around the world are racking their brains for smart locks to stand out, Deschmann has brought us the second generation domestic smart lock product, the Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock.

Xiaodi S8 is a modern cloud intelligent lock that integrates key, fingerprint, password, gesture, shake, click and other unlocking methods. It fundamentally solves the user's various needs for door locks, and also leads users into the high-tech era to feel the life enjoyment brought by technology. Let's take a detailed look at the Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock.


Unpacking appreciation:

The package of Xiaodi S8 can be said to be simple and not simple. White, as the overall color, with the conspicuous logo of Xiaodi, looks a little fresh, but it is boring. The sparse text introduction is just everywhere, and the focus is simple and clear. The addition of telescopic plastic handle greatly increases the practicability of the whole package.

When we opened the outer package, we saw the orderly placement of accessories. In order to prevent bumps during transportation, the inside of Xiaodi S8 was fixed with double-layer white foam plates, and each part had its own special compartment.

Finally, let's take a look at the family photo of Xiaodi S8. From this situation, we can see whether it is very powerful. In addition to the front and rear panels of the lock body, the lock cylinder, there are also instructions for use, installation instructions, keys, batteries, accessories, and a lot of other things.

Appearance design:

The panel of Xiaodi S8 is mainly made of aluminum alloy and zinc alloy, so Xiaodi S8 is quite powerful in hand. The surface of the panel is supplemented by metal brushed texture, which makes the overall appearance more exquisite. Compared with ordinary door locks, it is of a higher grade. It can be seen from the appearance that this is a symbol of identity.

At present, Xiaodi S8 has starry silver and starry gold colors to choose from. Although the color matching is not very rich, it can completely meet the needs of various anti-theft doors. The size of the front panel of Xiaodi S8 is 300 * 70 * 27mm. This size is just right for any door, neither too large nor too small.

The front panel of Xiaodi S8 is very fine in overall workmanship. Both the overall design and detail processing have reached the highest level, enabling users to see it all the time. Compared with other smart fingerprint locks in the market, I prefer the fresh and simple style of Xiaodi S8, which is more suitable for young people's fashion pursuit.

The top part of the front panel is the touch panel area of Xiaodi S8. Xiaodi S8 uses a 5A diamond level touch screen, which is more sensitive to use. As long as you gently slide the touch panel with your finger, the panel will be immediately lit, and you can easily open the door by directly entering the set password. The "Di" logo on the digital panel is the Bluetooth wake-up indicator, which is blue at ordinary times. If the battery is low, the indicator will be red.

Below the digital panel is the fingerprint acquisition window. The Xiaodi S8 uses optical automatic sensing fingerprint head. Through the hieyie high-definition fingerprint algorithm, the unlocking speed of the Xiaodi S8 can be completed within 0.1s as fast as possible. The horizontal bar below the fingerprint acquisition window is the beep S8 Bluetooth wake-up switch, which can wake up the Bluetooth function by gently pressing.

Xiaodi S8 adopts solid aluminum alloy handle. The ergonomic handle design makes the grip feel more comfortable. The junction between the handle and the panel uses metal rings to beautify the details. In actual use, the front handle turns slightly stiffly. In addition, what I find most difficult is that I need to manually reset the handle after opening the door.

Although the Xiaodi S8 is a smart fingerprint lock, it still retains the key unlocking function. In my opinion, this is also a wise move. After all, there is more choice, there is more way to go. The key space of the small beeper S8 is located at the lower side of the front panel of the fingerprint lock, which can ensure the overall beauty of the front panel while taking into account the function settings. Next to the keyhole is the USB interface, which is mainly used for emergency power supply and provides another guarantee for unlocking.

Xiaodi S8 uses super B-grade pure copper lock cylinder, which has greatly improved its safety. Even professional locksmiths may not be able to do anything about it. As the key of the Xiaodi S8, it certainly does not look ordinary. Compared with our common keys, the key of the Xiaodi S8 is slightly different. It not only has tooth patterns on the front, but also has tooth patterns on both sides, making it more difficult to accompany the key than ever before.

The back of the front panel of Xiaodi S8 is also exquisite, and the cavity is reserved properly. The lock circuit adopts integrated line to line connector interface, and the outer layer of the circuit is completely covered with black nylon wire sleeve, which effectively guarantees the damage of the door lock during use.

Compared with the front panel, the design of the rear panel is much simpler. The size of the rear panel is slightly larger than that of the front panel, and the aluminum alloy material is also used. However, the rear panel does not use the wire drawing process, but uses the current popular mirror technology. Overall, it looks shiny, like a mirror.

As an intelligent door lock can not be separated from the power supply, Xiaodi S8 uses two sets of eight AA batteries as the main power supply, one of which is the power supply, and the other is the standby power supply. Only one of them (four batteries) can be used normally. There are specific battery installation methods measured in the battery cover, and there are three matching methods in total. The QR code user APP on the lower side of the cover is registered for use.

Next to the battery compartment is the anti lock switch, which can be locked inside and outside at the same time by gently rotating the switch to the vertical, providing a safer psychological guarantee for the children who are alone at home. The rotary handle on the back panel has the same shape as the front panel, but the handle on the back panel can be automatically classified, which is more humanized than the handle on the front panel.

A key is also set at the bottom of the rear panel. This key is used to confirm all operations related to the beeper S8 fingerprint lock, such as lock APP binding, fingerprint input, fingerprint deletion, lock logout, and can effectively prevent misoperation.

From the back of the back panel, you can clearly see the aluminum alloy material of the Xiaodi S8, which is not only thick, but also has a clear view of the meticulous workmanship, which has laid a solid foundation for the excellent quality of the Xiaodi S8 intelligent lock.

Finally, let's take a look at the lock body of Xiaodi S8. From the appearance, it is almost the same as the ordinary lock body, but its function is very different. The ordinary lock body can only be ejected by turning the key, while the small tick S8 can automatically eject through the top two-way lock tongue. The stainless steel solid lock tongue fully guarantees the durable quality of the lock body. The lock body can be divided into heaven and earth hook and non heaven and earth hook, which can be purchased according to the specific situation of your own door.

The locking edging of Xiaodi S8 is also made of aluminum alloy. Whether to install the edging depends on the actual situation of the door lock. If it is installed on a wooden door, it must be installed, but it is not necessary to install some anti-theft doors, which depends on the specific situation.


After sales installation:

For special products such as door locks, after-sales service is the highlight of users. Before installing the smart door lock, you need to make an appointment with the customer service staff of the official flagship store. If it goes well, a staff member will call you within three days and install it at your door. Overall, the quality of after-sales service was quite satisfactory, but the speed of after-sales needs improving.

In order to prevent the door lock hole from perfectly matching the user's door, Xiaodi S8 has added a door lock installation vacancy diagram in the attachment, which can quickly let novices find the installation tips, but this is almost useless for experienced installers.

After making an appointment, a total of three masters came to the door to install locks, which really surprised me. In fact, there is only one real installation master, and the other two are helpers or apprentices! In a short time, the master began to dismantle the old lock and measure the size before he came to greet the masters.

The cutting and installation is a piece of cake for the installation master, but the master is also the first time to install this new lock, so when encountering problems, the master can't help but be caught off guard. The installation should have been completed soon, but the problem that the heaven and earth hooks were not properly hung led to the removal and re installation of locks after installation. After nearly two and a half hours of hard work, the lock was finally installed. However, due to the misplacement of the lower heaven and earth hook after installation, the beeper S8 could not be locked, and a false lock alarm occurred after the door was closed. The installer was powerless because he did not have the tools of the angle grinder. Finally, he realized the final perfect match by himself, The installation master didn't forget to show me how to operate it when he left, which was very considerate.


APP experience:

Before using the mini S8, we need to download the mini housekeeper app to make corresponding settings. After installing the app, we enter the main interface, and then click Add Device to select the smart door lock. We can add locks by scanning the QR code on the back of the battery compartment. Long press the blue tooth pairing button on the bottom of the rear panel of the mini S8 for 5s, wake up the DI smart light on the front, and then click Confirm Add, When the adding progress reaches 100%, the addition can be completed. At this time, the small beep S8 smart lock sign appears on the main interface.

There are 7 modules below the main interface of Xiaodi S8 intelligent lock, including personal center, visual cat's eye, installation and maintenance, intelligent door lock, intelligent access control, property service and Xiaodi Mall, which are more than enough to meet the needs of daily use. Click the setting button on the main interface to enter the lock personalization settings of Xiaodi S8, where you can change the lock name, select the phone unlocking prompt tone and unlocking method. In addition, you can quickly change the phone unlocking digital password and graphic password.

At present, only 7 options are supported for the mobile phone unlocking prompt tone. It's a pity that it doesn't support custom addition yet. Up to now, there are four unlocking methods for mobile phone, including password, shake, gesture and click, available through hardware update. In addition, the addition of authorized door opening is also ingenious. When we want to temporarily let relatives and friends into the home without telling them the fixed password, authorized door opening is a good choice. There are two ways to authorize door opening: mobile phone door opening authorization and lock temporary password authorization. The first one requires that the authorized person also install a small ticker housekeeper and a registered account in his mobile phone, which is a bit troublesome to use. Compared with the first temporary password authorization, it is relatively simple, but the temporary password also needs to be preset in the small ticker housekeeper, This is not very convenient for me in the actual use. If I can generate APP randomly, it will be more convenient. After all, it is only used for temporary door opening.

Adding fingerprint and other related settings requires entering advanced settings. To enter advanced settings, you need to enter the application password first. Adding the application password in Xiaodi Housekeeper will greatly increase the security of the door lock. Password verification is required in all operations. Otherwise, subsequent operations cannot be displayed. Advanced settings also include six modules, including user management, door opening password setting, lock information, family settings, alarm settings, and record query.

Select one of the user names in the user management center to enter the user setting interface, click Add Fingerprint and start recording fingerprint, then click the Bluetooth setting button at the bottom of the rear panel for 5 seconds, after the indicator light on the front panel wakes up, collect fingerprints for 6 consecutive times according to the prompt tone "Di", and enter the fingerprint name to confirm the completion of fingerprint collection. At present, Xiaodi S8 supports up to 80 sets of fingerprints, which can be counted as a huge number only in terms of quantity.

The Xiaodi S8 smart lock can realize mutual remote alarm prompt through kinship settings, alarm settings, etc. By entering a set of fingerprints or passwords for alarm, when we use this set of fingerprints or passwords to open the door, the system will automatically push the danger information directly to the phone of the person associated with this set of passwords, Let your family know your situation quickly so that they can react in time. In addition, we can also query all door opening records through records, including mobile phone, fingerprint, password and other door opening records. In addition to the records in the application, we will also receive SMS push records after the normal door opening. Double push enables us to understand the situation at home faster and more timely.


Actual experience:

It is estimated that everyone has experienced the experience of being rejected because they forgot to bring their keys! Or, after going out, I always forget whether I have locked the door or not, and I am worried about the situation at home, so I can't go to work in peace. However, after the installation of Xiaodi S8 intelligent cloud fingerprint lock, all such troubles will be thrown away.

The Xiaodi S8 intelligent lock uses a two-way locking tongue. When the locking tongue is activated, a square locking tongue will automatically pop up to lock the door when closing the door. When the locking tongue pops up, the heaven and earth hook will also pop up automatically. From now on, there is no need to worry about not locking the door. The Xiaodi S8 intelligent lock solves the user's worries from the root. However, during the actual use, I personally felt that the sound of the latch popping up was a little loud.

Password unlocking: First of all, let's experience the password unlocking method in tall buildings. Maybe most people think that password unlocking is not very safe. If someone peeks at your password when you unlock it, it means that you have opened your own door for others, but there is no need for such worries. The password of Xiaodi S8 can be set up to 10 digits at most, and random random code can be added before and after the correct password. It is easy to open the door only if there is a group of correct passwords in the middle of the password. The combination of virtual and real greatly increases the confidentiality of the password. Before entering the password, we can slide our fingers to the wake-up touchpad. After entering the password, press the # key to end. When hearing the sound of opening the door, rotate the outside handle to open the door, which is very simple and fast to use.

Fingerprint unlocking: Fingerprint unlocking has been common in Korean dramas that we have pursued in those years, but if we really experience it, it's probably the first time! Fingerprint unlocking can be realized by clicking the Bluetooth wake-up button or pressing the fingerprint input port with your finger, and it is very fast. After hearing the sound, rotate the handle to open the door easily. Fingerprint unlocking is suitable for young, old and young people. After all, the operation difficulty is relatively low, so the mother who doesn't know a big character can also easily realize fingerprint unlocking.

Shake to unlock: Shake to unlock is also familiar to modern young people. How can we say that the Shake to Shake function of WeChat was once popular today. The shake and shake unlocking function of Xiaodi S8 smart lock is also easy to use. Click the Bluetooth wake-up button and shake the phone to unlock easily.

Gesture unlocking: The mobile phone unlocking is the same as shaking the lock. You can preset the unlocking gesture through the mobile phone, click the Bluetooth wake-up button, input the gesture graphics, and then the intelligent system of Xiaodi judges whether it is correct or wrong. If it is consistent with the preset gesture, the unlocking is successful.

Click to unlock: This one is born by the same parents as the above two, but the novelty added in the selection method of unlocking is actually the same. Click the Bluetooth wake-up button and click the touch screen of the phone to unlock easily.

Key unlocking: Although the intelligent door lock is tall, the traditional key unlocking must not be abandoned. As an alternative to the intelligent lock, key unlocking provides manual unlocking for one of the locks with failure or insufficient power. The key unlocking method of Xiaodi S8 smart lock is also relatively simple. You only need to insert the key horizontally and rotate it to 90 degrees to unlock. Do not rotate it for 2 360 degrees like an old door lock to unlock.

USB emergency charging unlocking: when the lock is temporarily out of power, and you happen to have no spare key, you only need to borrow a charging bank to unlock the lock in an emergency, and you don't have to worry about being unable to unlock the door. After connecting the emergency USB interface at the bottom of the front panel of the lock with the data cable of the power bank, turn on the power bank switch to realize emergency unlocking.

In terms of security, Xiaodi S8 smart locks are also well considered. 1. When the unlock password is entered incorrectly for 5 consecutive times and the fingerprint is entered incorrectly for 10 consecutive times, the beeper will automatically lock and cannot be opened within 3 minutes, and send a message to the mobile phone to remind someone to try to unlock. 2. When unlocking with the "alarm finger" set in advance, the phone will also receive an alarm prompt. 3. When the beeper is activated by violence, an alarm will sound and a message will be sent. 4. When the voltage of the beeper is too low, it will remind the owner to replace the battery in time.


Comprehensive evaluation:

Through the comprehensive experience of Xiaodi S8 smart lock these days, as a high-end smart lock, Xiaodi S8 can completely compete with those smart lock brands in South Korea, and is even better at innovative play. A variety of lock opening methods allow you to open the lock in different patterns every day, to satisfy our vanity. At the same time, it also ensures the security of the door lock. Multiple security alarms enable us to know every move in the home all the time. With the smart cat eye, we can be invincible. We can have a panoramic view of real-time images, and no longer have to worry about the security problems at home. In general, Xiaodi S8 is a smart door lock that combines wisdom and beauty. Let it be a professional door guard for every family quietly!
