Smart locks are modern and helpful but above all they’re extremely convenient. We all know the advantages of smart locks. No need to carry around a mechanical key. You can control the lock via Bluetooth, APP, Wi-Fi or any other methods. But all these aggravate the power consumption of the smart lock. What if the battery of the smart lock is depleted? Many smart locks will have a USB port for emergency external power supply. If this is the case, then you can power your smart lock through this USB port. Some smart locks also support external battery boxes to power them, so you can also power your smart lock directly from the battery box. In addition, there are some smart locks that will provide an emergency solution like a USB emergency key. In this case, you can unlock the lock directly via this "key". Most of the smart locks should have low voltage alarm function. When the voltage reaches a critical value it will trigger a low voltage alarm to remind the user to replace the battery or charge it. So we have to replace the battery or charge it immediately when the lock sends out a low voltage alarm, so as to avoid the dilemma of running out of battery and not being able to unlock it.

The rotary latch is composed of a locking mechanism, an actuator and a cable. Bolts are usually installed on the opposite part of the mating locking mechanism. When activated, the cam or rotor of the rotary latch will turn or rotate. It has a spring-loaded mechanism that enables a push-to-close function, similar to a slam latch. Rotary latches are made of iron material and galvanized, and are usually used for doors and panels of heavy equipment.Its durable structure is very suitable for extreme environments. Simple operating functions and flexible drive options make it easy to adapt to multiple installations. A unique feature of the Rotary Latch is its remote drive. A cable connects the actuator to the locking mechanism. This makes it possible to keep the actuator at a distance from the rotary latch. Pulling on the actuator rotates the rotor, which releases the latch. The actuator is pulled in one direction only. A mechanism with a spring is therefore required to return the rotor to its position. Rotary locks are available with a single or double rotor. The single rotor rotary latch provides the basic function of keeping the door closed. Double rotor rotary latch have two adjacent mirrored single rotors. They are more rigid because of the two rotor fixing bolts. The double rotor types have a wider catch opening than the single rotor types. Therefore they are more tolerant of misalignment.

With smart home technology becoming more mainstream and accessible, many consumers are turning to smart lock security and questioning how it compares to traditional mechanical locks. Smart locks have many advantages, but are they more secure? How much of a risk does hacking pose? What's the best way to keep your home safe? What are the benefits of using smart locks? Convenience is one of the big selling points of smart lock security. No need to carry around your keys – simply use your smartphone, biometric, or other methods to unlock your door.

Smart lock security: advantages and vulnerabilities Smart lock security brings a new risk that traditional locks don't face: hacking. With the right tools and knowledge, someone could remotely access a smart lock, use it to get into a home, and perhaps even take access away from the owner. If the smart lock is connected to a wider range of smart home systems, gaining access to the lock can also grant access to everything else. If there is a vulnerability in the smart lock line, someone aware of the vulnerability could use it to access any home page, if the manufacturer is slow to patch the lock, or if the lock was unable to receive the patch in the first place. Like any other technology and system we use, from smartphones to accounts on various websites, the risk of hacking is always there, but there are ways to mitigate that risk. Buying high-quality, certified products from companies that regularly patch and maintain their systems reduces the likelihood that a smart lock will end up with a major vulnerability that can't be fixed. Using strong passwords, double authentication and other good security practices can also help keep your home safe.

More and more consumers are shopping online for everything from home furnishings and decorative items to clothing and groceries. To meet demand and customer preferences, the postal as well as logistics industries such as couriers have turned to electric or automated parcel lockers. Electronic parcel lockers provide secure, convenient, contactless parcel delivery and pickup options for apartment buildings, retail store occupants and customers in industrial parks. Depending on the parcel locker service used, developers and property managers can customize the lockers to fit the style and aesthetics of the community. How do parcel lockers work? Traditional and electronic parcel lockers work in similar ways, but they show some key user differences. Regardless of the type of locker being discussed, the process follows three basic steps. 1. Delivery Postal employees or other package delivery personnel will use a unique master code or key provided by the property manager to unlock the compartment. Next, they will place the package in the package locker. The delivery mail carrier will then select the recipient. 2. Notification The electronic parcel locker service will send an automated notification to the recipient via email, text or app. The notification will contain a code that only they can use to open the parcel locker and retrieve the package. On the other hand, if a mailer delivers to a traditional parcel locker, they will leave a numbered key in the recipient's designated mailbox. This number will be matched to the locker where the package is stored so the recipient can find their package. 3. Collection After receiving the access code or collecting the key from their unit, the recipient will search for the parcel locker. If the package locker is electronic and allows mobile access, they can enter a PIN or scan the barcode on their phone to open the locker. Otherwise, they will use the key to unlock the device and retrieve the package.
