The Xiaomi Door Lock M20 Pro is the latest smart door lock from Xiaomi and offers a lot in terms of security and convenience. It offers numerous innovative functions that both make everyday life easier and significantly increase the level of security. With state-of-the-art facial recognition technology and a variety of unlocking methods, the M20 Pro clearly stands out from its predecessors and other competitor products.
Highlights of the Xiaomi Door Lock M20 Pro:
- 3D facial recognition with high precision and financial-grade security standards.
- Seven unlocking methods, including fingerprint, NFC, Bluetooth, password and conventional keys.
- Long battery life of up to 12 months with emergency charging option via USB Type-C.
- Integrated security functions, such as a smart cat’s eye and a real-time monitoring system.
Security and convenience in one device
The Xiaomi Door Lock M20 Pro particularly impresses with its 3D facial recognition technology. With the help of 30,000 points of light, a precise facial model is created that makes it almost impossible to deceive the door with photos or videos. This technology is particularly well known in security-relevant areas such as the financial sector and ensures that the detection rate of false attempts remains below 0.0001 %.
But that’s just the beginning. The door can be unlocked in a total of seven different ways. These include classic methods such as the fingerprint sensor, NFC for the use of smartwatches, Bluetooth and even emergency unlocking using a conventional key. This variety ensures that the door is easy and intuitive to use for all users, whether tech-savvy or not.
The battery life of the M20 Pro is an impressive 12 months. If the 5,000 mAh battery runs out unexpectedly, the door lock can be recharged via a power bank or USB Type-C cable, ensuring that you are never locked out. The device also has several integrated security alarms that are triggered in the event of attempted break-ins or tampering, among other things.
Networking in the smart home
Integration into the Xiaomi Home ecosystem makes the M20 Pro a central component of the smart home. With functions such as automatically activating surveillance cameras, closing curtains or switching off household appliances as soon as you leave the house, the door lock offers much more than just security. Thanks to HomeKit compatibility, it can also be easily linked to Apple devices, which further expands its range of applications.
In addition, the M20 Pro is equipped with a smart cat’s eye that enables real-time monitoring of the area in front of the door. Visitors can be identified through the built-in display and, if required, a connection can be established with a camera and a visual intercom system.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi Door Lock M20 Pro is not only an innovative security system, but also a practical gadget for any modern home. However, at a price of 2,9999 yuan (equivalent to around 380 euros), it is not exactly cheap. The device is available immediately, but initially only in China. There is currently no information about an international release. Further details can be found on the official website.
