Xiaomi has unveiled the Smart Door Lock 2 Pro in China. The Xiaomi Smart Door Lock 2 Pro supports 3D structured light face unlocking and features a built-in large screen. The product is the successor to the Xiaomi Smart Door Lock 2 and aligns with other models in the series design-wise.

Features & Pricing

The Xiaomi Smart Door Lock 2 Pro has a large electronic cat-eye display screen. The in-built screen allows the user to view conditions outside the room from inside the door. The ultra-wide-angle cat eye camera has a 160º field range. Xiaomi says the design of the screen is intuitively more appealing than using screen speakers, TVs, or other gadgets. The model, apart from its in-built display screen, is essentially the same as the Xiaomi Smart Door Lock 2 Face Recognition Edition. The camera supports several functions including detection of abnormal movement and sending reminders to the owner.

The security device utilizes Xiaomi’s in-house noise-reducing and fully automatic lock body. It has multiple sensors that are integrated inside the lock body to monitor the lock body status at any time. It also has a direct-plug C-level lock core that is used throughout the lock body structure. The new Xiaomi smart door lock uses both a lithium battery and dry batteries. The lithium battery has a maximum capacity of 5,000mAh and can support cat-eye and face recognition for four months. The four dry-cell batteries of the gadget can also support up to four months of fingerprint and password unlocking. Thus the dual-battery system of the Xiaomi Smart Door Lock 2 Pro has a total battery life of 8 months.

The smart door lock works systematically to conserve the dry battery life. When the lithium battery is fully charged, the total power supply comes from it until it depletes to 10%. At 10% of the charge remaining, the door lock switches automatically to the super power saving mode. When the lithium battery is fully exhausted, the device automatically switches to the dry battery setup for power supply. The smart door lock supports using a Type-C cable to connect to a power bank to temporarily unlock the gadget when the battery is completely exhausted.

There are ten unlocking options available with the Xiaomi Smart including face recognition, fingerprint recognition, Bluetooth, long-term/ periodic/ one-term password, Xiaomi mobile phone, Xiaomi Watch, and encrypted NFC door card. The lock can also be unlocked by a mechanical key.

The retail price for the smart door lock is 2,299 yuan ($321) and it is currently available on Chinese e-commerce platform Jingdong (JD.com).
