01
Do I need to replace the door when switching from a traditional lock to a smart lock?
No! Philips Smart Lock can be installed on various door types, including security doors, copper doors, and wooden doors, with thickness ranging from 38mm to 120mm.
Plus, professional technicians offer free on-site installation, so no need to worry about installation issues.
02
Want to switch to a facial recognition lock, but afraid someone might open it with a photo?
The Philips 702FVP uses 3D facial recognition technology to capture three-dimensional face data, ensuring precision and efficiency intelligently. Stand in front of the door, and it opens instantly while rejecting photos, videos, and other false attempts.
Additionally, if someone lingers outside, the small blue shield on the 702FVP will promptly detect and take a snapshot, sending a mobile alert to keep you connected 24/7.
03
Worried the elderly at home won’t know how to use a smart lock?
No worries! With the 702FVP, elderly family members can unlock the door simply by standing in front of it for facial recognition, without concerns about fingerprint wear or forgotten passwords.
It also features a 4-inch high-definition screen, so the elderly don’t need to squint to see through the peephole, making it easier to see who's at the door.
04
What if the smart lock runs out of battery, won’t I be locked out?
The 702FVP comes with multiple thoughtful power-saving features. When the battery is low, it will alert you with a "Low battery, please replace" voice prompt.
Even if you forget to change the battery, there’s no need to worry. You can use a portable charger or mechanical key to open the lock in emergencies, and inside, there’s a quick-open handle—turn it to unlock the door quickly and safely.
05
Choosing a smart lock feels like opening a mystery box—how do I buy one that’s reliable?
As the first line of defense for home security, you should never "cut corners" and risk a big problem.
When buying a smart lock, in addition to meeting your personalized needs, make sure to choose a reputable brand and purchase through official channels. Don’t forget to consider the brand’s after-sales service capabilities.
