Door lock+cat’s eye doorbell+camera 1599 yuan in one step
It has been nearly two years since the release of Xiaomi’s first-generation Mijia door lock in the field of smart door locks.
I still remember that in the first hour after Xiaomi Mi’s door lock was released, the crowdfunding amount broke 10 million. At the same time, Xiaomi Mijia’s smart door lock was also selected in the list of smart explosive products in Xiaomi Mall in double 11. Even today, nearly two years later, this smart door lock is still on the TOP list of data sales of major e-commerce platforms.
In the past two years, Xiaomi and Mijia’s various door locks have been continuously innovated, covering all sub-sectors of push-pull, automatic, entry-level and flagship, and gradually becoming national door locks in the hearts of mass consumers with real prices and complete functions.
Now, in response to the increasing demand of users for "one step at a time", Xiaomi has released a new flagship door lock product with integrated cat-eye doorbell and wide-angle camera-Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro, which saves users the trouble of making a product portfolio for the door lock.
Not only that, for old users, Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro, as a flagship product, has more improvements in function and performance. It has built-in MJSC and MFi dual security chips, and has passed the authentication of Mijia and Apple Homekit, which means that it not only supports a variety of unlocking methods including keys, fingerprints, passwords, remote passwords, Bluetooth and NFC, but also makes the smart home linkage scene step out of the Xiaomi ecology and enter the Apple family.
In terms of safety, Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro is still not worrying. It uses a straight-in C-class lock core, which is inserted into the lock body, which is more concealed. Even if the panel is damaged, the door cannot be opened directly through the lock core hole.
The most important thing is the price. At present, the combined price of smart door lock+camera+cat’s eye doorbell in the market generally exceeds 2,000 yuan, and the Xiaomi smart door lock Pro that integrates the three is available for only 1,599 yuan at present, which continues Xiaomi’s consistent catfish-style strategy of stirring the market and comes with a cost-effective aura.
Fast technology has recently installed this door lock. The following is our detailed evaluation experience.
A quick look at the appearance: one black continues to be simple.
The inner and outer panels of Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro are all integrated with dark black color matching, which is simple and profound, but it is also relatively easy to be contaminated with fingerprints, and the body feels like an alloy material.
The handle of the door lock is frosted and embedded with a fingerprint identification module, which is similar in size to the fingerprint module on the mobile phone. When holding the door handle, the finger can naturally press the fingerprint module to unlock it.
The emergency key chain is arranged at the lower part of the panel, and the emergency key can be inserted by opening the dust cover.
Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro comes standard with 2 keys by default, which can be folded, and a lanyard is reserved at the tail.
Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro comes with camera and doorbell button.
The battery compartment of Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro is placed behind the indoor panel, and 4 5th batteries can be installed.
Among the batteries of Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro, there is still a 5000 mAh lithium battery, which only supplies power to the camera. It should be noted that this lithium battery is not disposable, and it can be removed and charged after the battery is exhausted.

Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro is equipped with 4 square tongues and 2 oblique tongues. Among them, the square tongue does not contain spring components, so it cannot be automatically ejected, and at the same time, it will not be retracted due to external force. It is only supported by the action of opening and closing locks, and the safety factor is quite high.
Installation and use experience: just worry!
-installation
Before installing the door lock, the after-sales personnel will know the door body thickness, the length and width of the side strip and other information in the user’s home. After receiving the goods, confirm the installation time, make an appointment directly by telephone, and ask the installation master to come to the door for installation, without making any preparations in advance.
During the installation process, the master wears masks, work clothes and his own prepared shoe covers, and the installation tools are tiled into blankets or toolkits.
After the door lock installation is completed, the installation master will teach you how to bind the door lock through Mijia APP, how to perform some basic operations, and finally debug and test to confirm that the door lock is installed without problems before leaving.
It is worth mentioning that some friends with strong hands-on ability always want to install the door lock themselves, which is not recommended. First of all, there is no additional price increase for official services. Secondly, sometimes, because of the door frame, the installation of door locks requires secondary cutting.
These professional equipments are not common household tools, and the installation of door locks requires very strict dimensions of the lock body. If there is a slight deviation, the door locks may not be tightly closed, so it is recommended to use the official installation service as much as possible.
In addition, Xiaomi Mijia has set up more than 500 service outlets and more than 7,000 service personnel in more than 300 cities across the country, covering users in most parts of the country. Basically, it can be inferred that at least in first-,second-and even third-tier cities, there is basically no need to worry about the installation of Xiaomi door locks.

Like other smart devices of Xiaomi, Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro can also be used with Mijia APP. Turn on the positioning of the mobile phone and Bluetooth, and Mijia APP will automatically scan out the new devices, and then bind them according to the operation prompts.
In the Mijia APP, you can set options such as adjusting the remote unlocking of Xiaomi’s automatic smart door lock, adding users (password, NFC, fingerprint), and viewing the door lock dynamics.
It is worth mentioning that through the user management of Mijia APP, the fingerprints of the left and right hands can also be entered separately.
Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro to Xiaomi’s first door lock with a high-definition camera. In addition to the camera, light sensor and human body sensor, there is an infrared night vision fill light on the right side of the doorbell, which can capture faces both day and night.
The camera has a resolution of 1080P, a wide angle of 161 and vertical imaging. This design is mainly to consider allowing users to see outsiders from head to toe as much as possible. When someone stays outside the door for too long, the camera will be automatically awakened by the human body sensor and start recording.
Face tagging and management functions need to open cloud storage members.
In order to save power, at present, Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro does not support the initiative video function. In addition to someone staying too long will wake up the video function, that is, when someone rings the doorbell outside, Mijia App will push the "live broadcast" prompt, and click it to view the situation outside the door on the mobile phone.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi Smart Door Lock Pro can also link Xiaoai touch screen speakers in the future. In addition to viewing the cat’s eye content on the mobile phone, you can also view the situation on Xiaoai touch screen speakers, and you can also record screens and have remote conversations.
