We’ve seen that viral video of that woman in Malaysia getting locked out of her house because she had forgotten her key, as well as the video of her slithering her long, slender frame into the gaps of the gate to get back inside and unlock the gate.
Pretty memorable right?
But what if you had a digital lock that could easily help you get back into the house with no need for a physical, old-fashioned style key?
Many households in Singapore are now springing for a digital lock that is often at the cutting edge of technology. No longer do you need to struggle with locks that rust after a few years, nor do you need to worry about keys that go missing after a night out.
You certainly don’t need to worry about houses that can easily get broken into because of physical locks.
But with so many digital locks brands all over Singapore, it can be hard to pinpoint a brand that not only takes the safety of your home and family into account, but also keeps challenging itself to create better security measures in a lock.
That’s when My Digital Lock comes in.
Now, if you’re still using a traditional lock and key in this our year of our Lorde 2024, where have you been?
Digital locks have been around since 2010, and most brands sell a version of these earlier digital locks around as they are the most affordable. Their usual function is to lock and unlock the house doors with a simple, numerical PIN that can be typed on a keypad.
Now though, digital locks have become so advanced that My Digital Lock has classified them into four different classes to appeal to a wide range of needs: A-Class, C-Class, E-Class and S-Class.
A-Class Digital Locks: Beyond Normal Keys
A-Class locks, for example, are great for those transitioning to a keyless solution, one that’s simple, low maintenance, and easy to use.
My Digital Lock, like most companies, sell this basic lock for those looking for affordability. However what gives the company an advantage is their low prices. The Lusano Digital Lock + C11 Face Recognition Digital Lock lets customers get the basic advantages of a digital door lock without all the extra prices.
Users can use six different ways to unlock the door: facial recognition, dual fingerprint scan, access card, mechanical key, password/scramble code and a mobile app link.
Currently retailing at $299, this lock is one for newbies transitioning to new digital locks, and My Digital Lock invites new customers to come down to their showroom and try out the lock before making a purchase.
C-Class Digital Locks: The C is for Classy
C-Class locks, on the other hand, are digital locks that are next up in security and functions.
For example, the lock can be controlled via a mobile app you can install in your phone that allows you to unlock the door remotely using 5G, offers push notifications to alert you to any visitors, wanted or not, and One Time Passwords for extra security.
What’s more? C-Class locks can offer time history to let you know who visited you at the door and at what time, as well as manage users all from the ease from your phone app.
Those who want a bit of fun with their locks and willing to spend a little more can look into the Lusano Galaxy X Push Pull Lock, currently priced at $1,099.00.
One of the highlights of this lock includes Night Vision, which allows the user to unlock their house in total darkness. This is because of Lusano’s usage of great face recognition readers.
Lusano has the best face recognition reader in the market which uses infrared to detect your face, even in very little light. The battery life of this Lusano Galaxy X Push Pull lock is also much longer, from the standard 5000 MAH to 7500 MAH.
Plus, users also get to enjoy a little animated spaceship when engaging the lock. Not that it matters, but anyways.
E-Class Digital Locks: An E-volution in Door Keys
Now, E-Class locks locks are a bigger step up in security, intelligence and function.
With the help of artificial intelligence (because everything must also AI mah), these locks are brimming with technology that you probably only imagined in movies.
Think motion detection recording, a video intercom that you can pre-record messages on, and even voice change functions that can disguise your voice inside to communicate with anyone you don’t want to talk to.
You can even get a live view of your door from any location thanks to the app, which means you can check through who has visited your door and at what time.
These are all the functions available in the E-Class Advance AI Smart Lock, powered by Lenovo. Users can experience the future of home security with the Lenovo X5 Al Digital Lock at $1,099.
You can unlock your door effortlessly with the help of the advanced 3D Face Recognition algorithm powered by Sensetime SEV3X 3D, ensuring only authorized individuals gain access.
In fact, it’s so smart, you just need to walk in as the lock will recongize you and unlock for you automatically.
Also, with ultra-clear big screen cat eye, you can easily check who is at the door, and even see how many pimples he has.
