The S6 Max-H Dual-Camera Smart Door Lock recently went on sale in China and utilizes advanced vein recognition technology to protect your home and businesses.

At the core of the S6 Max-H lies revolutionary vein recognition technology, a biometric authentication method that analyzes patterns of blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface. By utilizing dual cameras and 3D structured light, the S6 Max-H effectively records and processes these patterns, enabling swift and accurate authentication within a fraction of a second. Unlike conventional methods such as fingerprint scanners, vein recognition is highly reliable and virtually impossible to forge or spoof, making it an ideal choice for security.

S6 Max-H Dual-Camera Smart Door Lock offers nine door opening methods, including face unlocking, password unlocking, and Bluetooth unlock, ensuring flexibility and convenience for users. Equipped with a built-in 4.7-inch screen and powered by a robust 5000 mAh battery, the device helps you to keep your house safe and secure.

How does the Vein Recognition Technology work?

Vein recognition technology captures infrared light absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels, creating distinct patterns that are unique to each individual.  Blood vessels absorb more infrared light, resulting in darker patterns in the images. This color difference helps the system to create precise biometric references for accurate identification. 

Vein recognition technology has been present for a while, with China and Japan at the forefront of making it accessible to everyday consumers. The technology can be traced back to the 1980s, pioneered by Joe Rice, and has been commercially developed by Hitachi since 1997. It was at first used by organizations like Japanese financial institutions and gained popularity for its dependability.

China has been using Vein Technology for Years

Vein recognition technology has been used in China for years and plays an important role in the AI and robotics market. It is widely used in access control, autonomous vending, and public transport. For instance, DeepBlue’s Panda Bus allows ticketless boarding via palm scanning. 

Currently, palm vein recognition trials are going on for metro payments in cities like Shanghai. Tencent has also joined this sector by introducing palm payments in Beijing’s airport express line offering WeChat users an alternative to facial recognition. All these advancements signify a leap in biometric payment systems within China’s transport networks. 

With strong government backing and a vision for practical applications, Chinese companies are leading the push in realizing the potential of vein identification technology.
