Alfawise E202 - smart door lock with fingerprint reader
If your home gets smarter, why not close the front door lock as well?
Under the Alfawise name, we come across stuff that looks better and better. The company seems to have found its way to success, targeting the affordable but quality middle class from the crap.
Based on the pictures and the description, the E202 type lock is also like this. More precisely, it is not just a lock, as in the package we find the complete locking device that we put in the door, and the electronics, door handles, which we have to mount on the door. Based on the demonstration video, the commissioning is child’s play, in the film a Chinese lady screws together the structure.
The visible structure itself is a black, specifically designed piece. The piece on the outside of the door is screw-free, more precisely all the screws and fasteners extend through the door from the inside, so that they cannot be broken from the outside with a screwdriver. Based on the pictures, the structure looks massive, although we know there is no unbreakable lock, so it’s appropriate to at least make the burglar’s job harder.
As you can read in the title, this is a particularly clever lock. It can be opened with the handle, but only if we know the entered PIN code, or if we have a suitable RFID token, or if our fingerprint is fed into the system. Our last option is that if the lock is paired with your phone, in this case the door can also be opened from the application. If we are inside, it is possible not to get in even with the help of these. This is done by a mechanically rotatable latch on the inside.
An added bonus is that the lock can also be cloud-mounted, so it can be managed remotely and administrator and user groups can be created for use. This can be useful when you need to monitor multiple locks in an office building or hotel at the same time. In this case, we can not only set a PIN code remotely, we can also assign a name and user to the code, which makes logging in and out logging in. The manufacturer also thought that the 4 pencil batteries used for the lock could run out. According to factory data, 365 days or 20 hours of standby mode is promised, but it will also run out once. In this case, the lock can be supplied via a USB port, for example with the help of an external battery, thus relieving the deadlock.
Because it’s a pretty smart and pretty knowledgeable structure, the price is also higher than a traditional door lock. However, since this is an Alfawise product, its price is only high compared to traditional locks, compared to its competitive solutions. If you want to close your office or apartment with this, you have to leave 37 thousand forints at the checkout.
