Smart locks have entered the "ChatGPT moment". DESMAN pioneered the AI smart lock, opening up a new paradigm for proactive protection.

From cloud algorithms to real-world access, AI is accelerating its integration into reality.

In 2023, it was the year of the boom of large models; in 2024, we witnessed the rise of agents; and in 2025, there will be comprehensive breakthroughs in humanoid robots and embodied AI. All this is driving AI further from the virtual world into real society. AI is no longer just a concept at the research and development level but is actually integrated into the physical world through applications in areas such as logistics, production, and household goods, and has the potential to change the logic of all industries.

Especially with the official release of the "Artificial Intelligence +" policy in August this year, the state has for the first time defined "Artificial Intelligence +" as a transformation path for industry and society. It can be said that AI is currently "igniting" everything.

One of the key points is the new generation of end - devices that enable the interconnection of all things.

From mobile phones to computers, from cars to household goods, current AI applications penetrate deeply into users' living situations through various end - devices. As an intelligent lock in the overall household automation system, its positioning has also changed from a "functional product" to an "ecosystem core" in the AI era.

According to the "In - depth Market Report on Chinese AI Intelligent Locks" by Zhongyan Century, the breakthrough in large - model technology is not only reflected in the reduction of the hardware costs of intelligent locks but also in the implementation of "Generative AI" and multimodal interaction on intelligent locks through the combination with household appliances.

There is no denying that AI has triggered a new wave of demand for intelligent locks. After the industry was trapped in the "war of a thousand locks" and homogenization, and AI has become the key to the breakthrough in the user experience of intelligent locks, an inevitable question arises: Who has already gained the industry power in the world of AI intelligent locks?

The research results of two well - known institutions, Zhongyan Century and Shangpu Consulting, have already given a clear answer: Desman has demonstrated comprehensive leadership with five well - known certifications, including being the first creator of AI intelligent locks, the leader in the AI intelligent lock industry, having the highest sales volume nationwide, the highest satisfaction rate, and the highest recommendation rate.

Why is Desman the "AI model" in the intelligent lock industry?

It is an undeniable industry reality that the overall household automation has remained at the level of "device interconnection" for nearly ten years. However, in the AI era, the breakthrough in large - model technology and the application of multimodal interaction in overall household automation enable it to actually enter a new phase of "intelligent interaction" from "device interconnection".

The AI intelligent lock is a typical example of this revolutionary leap.

In the system of intelligent household goods, the door lock has always been regarded as a typical "entry product". Previous door locks, whether mechanical locks or early electronic locks, were essentially just means for anti - burglary and entry/exit, and their value mainly lay in security and convenience.

But in the AI era, the position of the intelligent lock has fundamentally changed. As the first entry and the last exit of a household, it has become the first contact point for household security and living situations.

In this sense, it is no longer simply a means for anti - burglary but has developed into an intelligent partner through AI algorithms and multimodal perception, which can actively recognize risks, connect all household appliances, and take on the role of a household assistant.

Zhongyan Century defines the AI intelligent lock in its "Report" as "a new generation of door locks that enable intelligent recognition and intelligent voice interaction through the integration of local AI algorithms and cloud - large models". Its essential value lies in overcoming passive execution and moving towards active service.

The experience gained through the AI intelligent lock is constantly expanding from security monitoring, individual scenario experience to natural interaction. However, the complexity of this new industry also means that not all brands can really master the whole process. Most manufacturers still remain at the stage of function addition or point - based breakthroughs and cannot guarantee a systematic user experience.

Desman, which has obtained five well - known certifications, is one of the few exceptions.

As a pioneer in the category of AI intelligent locks, it has not only carried out comprehensive innovation from basic technology to user experience but also built comprehensive advantages in category opening, technological innovation, market performance, and user satisfaction.

The Qilin R9 Panoramabox released in April this year is a concentrated manifestation of these core advantages. It is worth noting that Desman's comprehensive advantages in the AI sector are not just "for the sake of AI" but are always based on users' needs and real scenarios.

For example, the intelligent household assistant Miya built into the Qilin R9 Panoramabox makes intelligence no longer just cold parameters but have a human touch.

Based on the technology of the Doubao large - language model, the intelligent household assistant Miya has machine - learning capabilities and has expanded its role from a "security guard" to a "household assistant". In common daily scenarios such as receiving deliveries or packages, Miya can recognize deliveries or packages in front of the door, communicate and confirm with visitors, and then place the deliveries or notify the users.

When a child goes out of the house alone, Miya automatically sends a warning to the parents and can also connect the camera if necessary to ensure the child's safety. Or when the doorman comes or neighbors want to communicate, Miya can recognize visitors through the visual door camera and communicate with the users remotely to enable between - scenario human interaction and information exchange.

Especially at the level of voice interaction, Miya can not only understand northern and southern Chinese dialects and various foreign languages but also respond appropriately to the language of the elderly and children based on context and fuzzy semantics. People of all age groups can communicate with the intelligent household assistant Miya in the most natural way and enjoy not only convenience but also emotional feedback.

Secondly, the Qilin R9 Panoramabox has improved the GPTfinger 2.0 3D Curvature Fingerprint Recognition and brought fingerprint recognition from "functional" to "user - friendly and suitable for all".

A question that needs to be clarified first is: Why do we still need fingerprint recognition in the era of AI intelligent locks?

Although AI brings multimodal interaction and a more convenient door - locking experience, fingerprint recognition still remains an indispensable core concept. On the one hand, it is the best solution for frequent and urgent scenarios. For users, the requirement for daily door opening is speed and convenience, and fingerprint recognition enables the door to be opened "with one hand movement" without relying on the Internet or waiting time.

On the other hand, fingerprint recognition is also the last solution for security guarantee. Compared with face recognition, fingerprint recognition works stably even under difficult lighting conditions, weak network, or network outage, ensuring the basic security and accessibility of a household under all extreme circumstances.

Therefore, as a pioneer of AI intelligent locks, the Qilin R9 Panoramabox has upgraded the GPTfinger technology to version 2.0. In addition to optimizing the GPT large - model technology of version 1.0, the newly developed 3D curvature sensor adapts better to the shape of fingers and especially solves the problem of recognition for people with weak, worn, or wet/dry fingerprints.

The newly applied image - ISP algorithm can also make fingerprint collection clearer and more accurate through a technology similar to image processing and significantly reduce the recognition error rate. More importantly, all users' biological information is only stored in the local lock body and not uploaded to the cloud, fundamentally ensuring users' privacy and security.

Finally, by improving the super - runtime and the Watcher Cat's Eye 2.0, Desman has gradually eliminated users' concerns from runtime to security.

One of the biggest concerns of users about intelligent locks is the power supply problem during long - term absence or frequent use. For this, the Qilin R9 Panoramabox has for the first time introduced a semi - solid battery type in the industry, which increases the energy density by 70% and provides excellent runtime;

When the battery level drops below 500 mAh, the Qilin R9 Panoramabox automatically switches to the Super - Energy - Saving Mode 2.0, with a maximum runtime of up to 15 months. Whether it is a long - distance trip, frequent business trips, or an unoccupied house, concerns about the battery level can be effectively avoided, and it is actually possible to protect the household system for a whole year with a single charge.

To address users' concerns that they "cannot see clearly, completely, or accurately", the Qilin R9 Panoramabox has for the first time developed a panoramic cat's eye, which overcomes the limitations of the traditional fixed viewing angle and enables blind - spot - free coverage. At the same time, it combines AI human - tracking technology and a design with extremely low energy consumption to intelligently recognize and track suspicious people in front of the door and ensure 24/7 active monitoring.

In the AI era, the value boundaries of traditional intelligent locks have been completely expanded. In the past, they only needed to answer the question of whether they could open the door safely. In contrast, the Desman Qilin R9 series shows how to protect a household system more intelligently.

As Zhu Zhiling, the founder of Desman, once said: "Although the integration of AI is important, one should not just apply AI for the sake of AI." In Zhu Zhiling's view, innovation only has real meaning when it actually provides users with convenience, security, and an improved experience through technology.

Today, this innovation has been proven in the market. According to the "In - depth Market Report on Chinese AI Intelligent Locks" by Zhongyan Century, Desman has reached the top in both sales volume and user satisfaction.

Looking at the market sales volume, the Desman Qilin R9 series sold a total of 49,192 units between 2024 and 2025, which is twice as much as that of the second - placed brand, and also won the sales championship in all channels again during the 618 special offer in 2025. This means that Desman has become the first choice for most consumers in the market.

The leading sales volume is only the first step. More decisive is the real feedback from users. The report also shows that Desman is significantly above the industry average in many aspects such as overall satisfaction, product quality, and service responsiveness, with a satisfaction rating of 90.04 and a recommendation rate of 92%. In particular, the proportion of active recommenders is 93%, which shows a very high user loyalty.

If the sales volume determines Desman's market breadth, user satisfaction represents the depth in users' minds. The fact that Desman has reached the top in both aspects is not a coincidence but an inevitable result of long - term focus on technological development and consideration of users' needs.

On the one hand, by creating the category of AI intelligent locks, it has transformed the intelligent lock from a simple security means to an intelligent core of a household
