Common biometric technologies used in outdoor smart locks include fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and palm-vein recognition. Each technology differs in terms of security and application scenarios, with the key factors being anti-interference capability and anti-counterfeiting performance. Fingerprint recognition is the most mature technology and is further divided into optical fingerprint recognition and semiconductor fingerprint recognition. Optical fingerprint recognition captures fingerprint images by emitting light, offering advantages such as wear resistance and adaptability to both dry and wet fingers (including those moistened by rain); however, its recognition accuracy is relatively low, and it can be easily bypassed using fingerprint films or fake fingerprints. Semiconductor fingerprint recognition, on the other hand, captures the dermal-layer information of fingerprints through capacitive sensing, delivering higher accuracy and effectively detecting counterfeit fingerprints; yet it exhibits poor adaptability to wet or dirty fingers, and its sensor surface is prone to wear. For long-term outdoor use, it must be paired with a wear-resistant coating, such as sapphire glass. Facial recognition technology is categorized into 2D and 3D facial recognition. 2D facial recognition compares 2D images captured by cameras, which offers the advantages of low cost and rapid recognition speed (≤1 second); however, it is easily fooled by photographs, videos, and masks, and its recognition rate declines under strong lighting conditions (such as midday sun) or low-light environments (such as nighttime). In contrast, 3D facial recognition uses structured-light and Time-of-Flight (ToF) technologies to capture 3D facial data, effectively thwarting flat-counterfeit attacks and maintaining a stable recognition rate (≥95%) even in complex lighting conditions; yet this approach comes at a higher cost and requires larger device dimensions, making it best suited for high-security applications such as villa gates and corporate perimeter walls. Palm-vein recognition is an emerging technology that identifies individuals by scanning the distribution patterns of palm-vein blood vessels using near-infrared light. It boasts strong liveness detection capabilities—making it impossible to fool with fake palms or photographs—and is unaffected by hand cleanliness, as it can recognize both wet and dirty hands; however, the equipment is expensive and the recognition distance is limited (typically ≤30 cm), rendering it suitable primarily for short-range applications such as balcony doors and entrance garden doors.

The security of biometric technology also depends on algorithm optimization and data protection: high-quality smart locks adopt deep learning algorithms, which can independently learn subtle changes in users' fingerprints and facial features (such as fingerprint wear, facial expression changes) to improve the recognition rate; at the same time, they support living body detection technology, such as temperature detection for fingerprint recognition and dynamic detection (blinking, turning the head) for face recognition, to further prevent counterfeit attacks. In terms of data protection, biometric data should be stored in the local encryption chip of the lock (such as AES-256 encryption) instead of the cloud to avoid data leakage caused by network attacks; some products support "desensitized storage", that is, only storing feature values instead of complete images, reducing the risk of leakage. Suggestions for selecting application scenarios: ordinary family courtyard doors can choose semiconductor fingerprint recognition (balancing accuracy and cost); villas and high-end residential buildings are recommended to choose 3D face recognition (high security and convenience); humid environments (such as seaside, poolside) can choose palm vein recognition or optical fingerprint recognition (strong moisture resistance); for scenarios with elderly and children, priority should be given to face recognition or palm vein recognition (no need to press, more convenient operation). In addition, users should pay attention to protecting the biometric collection area during use, avoid scratching and contaminating with oil, regularly clean the sensor surface to ensure smooth recognition; at the same time, avoid performing recognition operations in the presence of others to prevent biometrics from being photographed and copied.
