Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of door locks, in particular to an intelligent door lock with an indoor camera. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, smart door locks are improved from traditional mechanical locks and are more intelligent and simple in terms of user security, identification, and management. Smart door locks are the executive components of door locks in access control systems. Smart door locks are different from traditional mechanical locks and are composite locks with security, convenience, and advanced technology.
[0003] Home network cameras use network technology to centralize monitoring systems such as video, audio, and alarms, and save and send useful information to other data terminals such as mobile phones and computers through server processing, so users can more conveniently view indoor conditions through mobile phones. Existing smart door locks generally have cameras installed outside the door, and screens are installed inside the door for users to observe the conditions outside the door. Users can also view outdoor conditions through the camera of the smart door lock connected to the mobile phone. If users need to monitor indoor conditions, they need to purchase indoor network cameras for installation, resulting in high user costs to meet the actual needs of users. Therefore, users' mobile phones need to install the smart door lock APP and the network camera APP, resulting in the need to install multiple APP software on their mobile phones. When users do not need to use the indoor network camera, due to the existence of network hackers, the user's camera will be invaded, affecting the user's privacy and security, so the power of the network camera can only be turned off. When using it, it is necessary to reconnect the power and start it, which is inconvenient for users to actually use it. Therefore, the above defects are very obvious. For this reason, we propose a smart door lock with an indoor camera to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
