Door lock should be the most common thing in our daily life. For unlocking methods, most people are familiar with the key unlocking. However, with the continuous development of smart homes and the continuous improvement of people’s awareness of family safety, the smart lock industry has gradually developed, and password unlocking and fingerprint unlocking have gradually become more convenient and safe unlocking methods than traditional key unlocking. Today, I bring you a new smart lock called Xiaodi S8 Cloud, which is launched by Deshmann. It breaks the previous unlocking mode of "one lock and one spoon", and integrates fingerprint, mobile phone, password, key and other unlocking methods, greatly improving our daily "unlocking" security and convenience. Not much for this new smart lock device, I think most people should not be very familiar with it. Below I will take you to learn more about this cloud smart lock.
Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock adopts a white paper packaging box, and the overall design is simple. The middle position of the front and side of the packaging box is an orange "Xiaodi" logo, and the bottom right corner of the box is the unlocking method of Xiaodi S8: fingerprint, mobile phone, password and key.
The packaging box is designed in two layers, the top layer is the installation instructions, lock body, battery, screw fittings and keys, and the bottom layer is the front panel and back panel of Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock, which are relatively compact and can prevent damage during transportation.
The accessories of Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock are relatively rich. Because each Xiaodi smart lock is distributed according to the size of the lock body provided by us, individuals can install it manually if they have strong hands-on ability. In addition to fingerprint, mobile phone and password unlocking methods, it also supports traditional mechanical key unlocking. From the key point of view, Xiaodi is equipped with super B-class lock core, which can provide higher security.
The lock body of Xiaodi S8 Cloud Smart Lock weighs 5Kg, is made of 304 stainless steel, and adopts two-way locking tongue, which can effectively resist violent unlocking. If the original lock has a hook design, it can be perfectly supported after installation.
Before installation, let’s take a brief look at this small S8 cloud smart lock. The front and rear panels still have some weight, which is heavy in your hand. You can feel that the materials used are still sufficient, and the design is also very fashionable.
There is a password touch screen above the front panel of Xiaodi S8, and a fingerprint recognition area below the screen. The door handle is designed with military-grade solid separation. It has undergone 100,000 nondestructive opening and closing tests, and its normal life is about 30 years, which ensures its durability.
The top screen adopts 5A diamond touch screen, which is hard, stable and wear-resistant. It feels comparable to high-end mobile phone touch screen, and it is not easy to be contaminated with fingerprints. The fingerprint area adopts optical high-sensitivity fingerprint head, which supports 360 fingerprint acquisition technology, the fastest recognition speed can reach 0.1 second, and it has the functions of memory growth and fingerprint repair; The front adopts electroplating wire drawing process and zinc alloy material, which can ensure that it is not easy to be eroded in daily use; At the bottom of the front panel is a keyhole, and there is a Micro USB interface, which can provide emergency power supply for the lock body through the mobile power supply.
The surface of Xiaodi S8′ s back panel is also plated and wire-drawn, which looks more high-end and atmospheric. At the top of the panel is a battery box. Although eight 5th batteries can be put in, only four batteries can be used normally, and the other four batteries are spare batteries. There is a diagram on the battery box cover about the battery placement position, so it can be placed according to the prompt, but four batteries can be used normally for nearly one year with the official introduction, so there is no need to put eight batteries.
There is also a Bluetooth setting button at the bottom of the back panel. Basically, this button is needed for all setting operations of Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock. If there is any problem in the use process, it is also necessary to cooperate with this button for hard emptying operation of the lock.
Xiaodi S8 Cloud Smart Lock is backed by Deshmann, who owns 20 lock patents, and has more than 3,000 landing outlets offline, which basically covers most urban families in China and can guarantee the door-to-door service within 2 hours. After contacting the official customer service, the master contacted soon, and said that the installation could be carried out on the same day, but due to work reasons, the installation was carried out on the weekend agreed with the master. Due to the detailed dimensions provided before, the installation of the lock body was relatively smooth, only one hole was opened in the front panel, which was safely completed in more than an hour, and the speed was relatively fast, which was quite good for the after-sales service of Xiaoyun smart lock.
If you want to use the function of Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock, you need to cooperate with the "Xiaodi Butler" mobile APP. Before using it, you need to register with your local mobile phone number, and at the same time, your mobile phone needs to turn on the Bluetooth function, and then log in to your account to start using it.
The first time you use Xiaodi S8 Cloud Smart Lock, you need to "add equipment". You can add equipment by scanning the QR code on the back of the battery box cover according to the prompt. After setting the device name and management password, the icon of added equipment will appear in the main interface.
Let’s take a look at the function of "Little Butler". Press and hold the device name icon in the main interface to enter the setting interface. The first setting option is "Rename", and you can modify the name of the device.
In the "personality setting" interface, we can operate the unlocking mode, door opening reminder, unlocking password and family setting respectively. After setting the "unlocking mode" to "shake", we can enter the main interface of "Xiaodi Butler" and open the door by "shake". This unlocking mode is also very interesting.
Before entering the "Management Settings" option, you need to enter the management password. By default, the system enters the "User Management" interface, where you can see the added users, and you can perform unlocking, fingerprint adding and aging management operations.
Through the "User Management" option, we can set the unlocking mode in advance, and then we can also enter the fingerprint here. According to the system prompt, the fingerprint can be successfully entered after 6 times of fingerprint collection. Before making all the settings, we need to press and hold the Bluetooth setting button at the bottom of the back panel for 5 seconds before operating.
In the "Management Settings", you can not only enter fingerprints, but also rename and delete the entered fingerprints through the "Fingerprint Management" option. You can know the door opening situation of your family in real time through the "Family Management" and send corresponding alarm information to your mobile phone through the "Alarm Settings" to let you know the security situation at home in real time.
In the "Lock Management" function of "Xiaodi Butler", you can set the lock door opening password and system management password, and you can also turn on/off the lock door opening password status; In the "Lock Information" option, in addition to viewing the basic information of the lock, you can also perform the "Lock WIFI Settings" operation. Only after configuring WiFi can you use functions such as family reminder, alarm reminder and uploading the door opening record. Xiaodi S8 also supports the online upgrade operation of the lock program, which can make the lock program in the best working condition through irregular system upgrade.
Xiaodi S8 Cloud Smart Lock also has the function of "authorizing to open the door", which can send a one-time temporary secret key through the APP, but the person who sends the secret key must be in the address book of your mobile phone, so as to ensure the accuracy of sending the secret key. And after testing, although sometimes the system shows that sending failed, when sending again, it shows that it already has a temporary key. I don’t know why, and the timeliness of this temporary key has not been explained. Personally, it would be better if we could add a function to cancel the temporary key.
In addition to the traditional mechanical key, Xiaodi S8 Cloud Smart Lock also supports various ways to open the door, such as fingerprint quick opening, password touch screen opening and mobile phone APP opening, which makes it convenient and quick to open the door. Let’s have a practical experience on these characteristic opening methods.
The first is the fingerprint door-opening experience. The latest Xiaodi S8 cloud smart lock can directly open the door by fingerprint without waking up the touch screen. After the actual test, the recognition speed is still relatively fast, and the whole process of recognizing the door opening can be completed within 5 seconds. Moreover, after testing, the speed of opening the door with fingerprint after lighting the screen is slightly faster than that with direct fingerprint when the screen is off, and the actual use feeling is not obvious.
In addition to the fingerprint to open the door, Xiaodi S8 can also open the door through the touch-screen password, which is designed with a virtual password, and random codes are added before and after, as long as the middle 6-digit password is correct. Click "#" after the password is entered, and the door can be opened when there is a beep. Basically, the door can be opened at the same time when the password is entered, and the alarm operation can be carried out through the preset "alarm password" when encountering danger.
