Since last year, there has been a wave of replacing smart locks around me, but at that time, I was renting a house, so I didn’t follow the crowd to install it. Until I moved into my house recently and forgot my keys several times in a row, I began to feel that I really needed a reliable and easy-to-use smart door lock. After carefully checking the related products, Ouruibo smart door lock Xiaojing C1 entered the author’s sight. Now, I have experienced this Eurobo smart lock C1 for some time. Now let’s share the experience with you and see if this smart door lock called Little King Kong is worth buying.
Tip: Preparation before purchase
Before buying a smart lock, be sure to confirm what kind of lock your door belongs to and what kind of lock it is suitable for. Generally, it can be confirmed by taking photos and sending them to customer service. Because ordinary door locks and overlord door locks belong to different types, the prices are different. The door lock in my hand is an ordinary door lock, which is relatively simple to install. The type of the lock body is also printed on the package information of Eurobo C1. After you get it, you can first confirm whether the version is correct, and then take it apart to find out.
unpack
When I opened the package of Eurobo smart lock C1, the first thing I saw was an "installation opening diagram". Because I haven’t unpacked other smart locks, I don’t know if there are any other smart locks, but Eurobo can be said to be very intimate and can avoid installation mistakes to the greatest extent. Of course, there will be almost no installation errors by the master, which will be discussed later.
Remove the top layer of foam and you will see a very heavy lock body, as well as installation instructions and instructions for use. For beginners, these two instructions are still necessary. The installation process and items that should be checked after installation are recorded in detail, and the specific functions of the lock body, such as adding passwords and fingerprints, are also recorded in detail. For unfamiliar things, it is a good habit to read the instructions once, which can greatly improve the efficiency of getting started.
Finally, we usually have the most intuitive part of the smart lock-the door handle. Limited by the product positioning, the doorknob design of Eurobo smart lock C1 is simple and generous, and it gives people a very calm sense of security. In addition, the password area of the outer door handle is the most eye-catching, which symbolizes the "intelligent attribute" of the lock. The white font with the matte black appearance is very capable. It is worth mentioning that "CARD" is marked under the password, which will also be one of the ways to open the door. Later, I will talk about several ways to open the door in detail.
Of course, the fingerprint identification of Eurobo C1 is the most reassuring. It is understood that the fingerprint identification module comes from Swiss FPC living fingerprint collection system, which can effectively identify fingerprints of all ages, and supports intelligent prediction of fingerprint changes, that is, with the increase of usage frequency, its identification speed will also be improved.
More importantly, this fingerprint identification module uses "living fingerprint identification"! Therefore, ordinary tricks such as fingerprint film can’t pass its verification, so it is guaranteed in safety.
The power supply for the lock body comes from four No.5 batteries on the inner door handle. Some people may worry about what to do if the battery is dead. In fact, there is no need to worry about this problem. Eurobo C1 also supports temporary charging of mobile power to help us unlock. In the later installation, the author also noticed a small detail. In fact, this lock can be started normally as long as two No.5 batteries are installed, but Eurobo has reserved four battery boxes, which may be considered from the battery life of C1, so that the battery life can be doubled.
Installation process: don’t worry about the whole process
When we place an order to buy this lock, a local installer will call to confirm the arrival time and installation time. We can make an appointment for installation according to our own time, which is very user-friendly. When the master came to the door to install it, it was very professional and neat, and it was installed after three times, five times and two times.
During the installation interval, when chatting with the master, I learned that there are quite a few users who have bought Euribo locks at present, so he is very skilled in installing this lock.
The installation process went quickly, and finally the installation master taught me to set the administrator password and enter fingerprints. After all, it is better to teach a fish than to teach it to fish. In order to prevent the author from forgetting, the installation master also reminded that there are detailed setting steps in the manual, so you can have a look at it if you have nothing to do. However, after feeling the whole unlocking process, the author thinks that as long as it is initially set up, the others don’t have to work hard at all, because the whole unlocking process of Eurobo smart lock C1 is very simple and easy to understand!
A variety of unlocking methods, safety and ease of use coexist.
As mentioned just now, for the author, the biggest pain point that the smart door lock can solve is that you can go out without a key. And this is the convenience that traditional door locks can’t match. After using Eurobo smart lock C1, the author was shocked by its rich unlocking methods, up to six! In addition to the familiar fingerprint unlocking, password unlocking, ID card unlocking and spare key unlocking, it even supports temporary password unlocking and NFC encryption unlocking of mobile phones, and these unlocking methods also solve the pain points of some scenes.
It is worth mentioning that with such diverse unlocking methods and intelligent experience, we have to mention another advantage of Eurobo smart lock C1-its own gateway.
With the existence of the gateway, we can bind the door lock through the "Zhijia 365” APP, so that we can know the state of the door lock remotely, and the APP can clearly see whether it is unlocking or input error. And you don’t have to worry about the binding process. The whole process is very simple. Just follow the screen prompts and you will be able to bind successfully. After the binding is completed, Zhijia APP also supports pushing when the door lock is incorrectly recognized, so that we can know the news in time and ensure security.
The temporary password just mentioned is also closely related to the gateway. Suppose a friend visits, but there is no one at home. We can set a temporary password through the APP and send it to friends, so that friends can wait at home. At the same time, we can also set the validity times and validity period of the temporary password, so that we can take security into our own hands. Not only the function of "temporary password", Zhijia APP also supports the linkage between door locks and other products of Ou Ruibo’s home to create a more complete smart home experience. Unfortunately, I haven’t bought other types of Eurobo products yet, so I can’t bring you further experience. But there is still a lot of room for imagination.
On the other hand, for door locks, convenience is one thing, but safety is more important. Ouruibo intelligent lock C1 adopts German double C-class lock core, which belongs to the high safety standard of door lock industry, so we can rest assured in this respect. On the fingerprint identification level, it also has a Swiss main control chip STM32, which belongs to the financial grade encryption chip. Every time we unlock the lock, we have a unique key and certificate to ensure the security of our communication. In addition, the door lock also has a variety of security measures such as anti-picklock alarm, APP remote alarm, anti-cat-eye unlocking and anti-trial opening locking to ensure that the lock will not be opened abnormally from all aspects.
summary
After using Eurobo smart lock C1 for a period of time, the greatest happiness is that you don’t have to bring your key when you go out, and it’s just as convenient to come back as verifying the fingerprint of your mobile phone to unlock it. At the same time, its safety and convenience are guaranteed, and it can be called "real fragrant product" with low price.
