Based on the principle of meeting user needs, Ezviz leverages AI to create a new model for intelligent living.
With the development of AI technology, intelligent home products tend to be connected to each product terminal and redefine living spaces. Systems such as lighting, security, and sleep have all changed their design, operation, and control logic accordingly.
Against this backdrop, the 27th China International Building Materials Fair (Guangzhou), in collaboration with 36Kr, has specially launched the column "Top Players, Foreseeing the Future". It delves into outstanding smart home enterprises, showcases their corporate charm and products, and tells their stories of intelligent evolution.
In today's era of rapid development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technology, smart homes are gradually entering thousands of households. However, behind the seemingly convenient appearance, there are still many problems. For example, the matching degree between product functions and family needs is not high, the device protection ability is lacking, and the usage threshold is high with complex operations. With the continuous upgrading of new technologies, Ezviz, which is about to make its debut at the China International Building Materials Fair (Guangzhou), has provided a solution for how smart homes can achieve true "intelligence".

Starting from Protection, Building a Human - Centered Smart Home Living Environment
In the early stage of development, smart homes were basically dominated by single - product intelligence. At that time, intelligence was more like a simple substitute tool that could only execute commands. With the change of consumer habits, single - product intelligence can no longer meet consumers' expectations for smart homes. Therefore, with the help of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and AI, smart homes have begun to focus on people's needs in life and actively transform towards space - scene intelligence.
The first step in home life - the intelligence and security of the entrance scenario - has become the first scenario to be addressed in smart homes. In the past smart entrance experiences, there were some pain points in the use of smart door locks, such as slow face recognition unlocking speed. As a leader in the field of smart entrances, Ezviz has continuously promoted the iterative upgrading of smart entrance products in terms of visual ability, AI ability, and interaction ability through years of refinement and technological innovation.
Ezviz Smart Door Lock
Taking the smart door lock as an example, Ezviz uses its self - developed 3D face recognition technology, paired with a binocular face recognition module that integrates infrared fill light and live detection. This allows the door lock to quickly capture facial information for recognition without being restricted by brightness, hairstyle, or facial accessories, and effectively prevents cracking by 2D photos and videos. In addition, it also has a self - learning module, which can easily recognize family members even if they get older, fatter, dye their hair, or wear makeup.
Regarding security issues, Ezviz has done a lot of work in security relying on "local storage + encrypted transmission". For example, during data transmission, Ezviz uses the SSL/TLS encryption protocol to encrypt and transmit and store unlocking data. The self - developed face recognition technology will be upgraded through remote OTA to enhance security protection.
Ezviz Face Video Lock's Care Ability
In addition to intelligent recognition, with the support of the AI algorithm store, Ezviz's face video lock has also upgraded its intelligent care ability. For example, it can automatically detect the situation of parcels at the door and automatically remind through the APP; if a child appears when the door is opened, the system will also send a message to remind, protecting the child's home safety; in addition, it can be linked with Ezviz indoor cameras and sleep detection radars to detect the home safety of the elderly in real - time...
It is reported that at the China International Building Materials Fair (Guangzhou) this time, Ezviz will unveil its latest Qiming AI Face Video Lock Y5000FVX. This smart lock redefines industry standards through flagship - level hardware configuration, revolutionary AI Interaction 3.0, and other aspects. Among them, the AI Interaction 3.0 system integrates an AI intelligent agent, AI voice interaction, and the Ezviz Blue Ocean large model in the cloud. The Ezviz Blue Ocean large model is the first embodied intelligent large model in the home furnishing industry.

The key to the continuous upgrading of smart scenarios is Ezviz's product ecosystem driven by AI as the core. In 2024, Ezviz's ecosystem was comprehensively upgraded to "2 + 5+N", from a single - core Internet of Things cloud platform to a dual - core drive of AI + Ezviz Cloud. Then, paired with five major hardware products such as smart home cameras, smart entrances, and smart service robots, it forms five major self - developed core product lines of AI interaction categories, and at the same time accesses N types of ecological product lines.
