Kalay AIoT Platform│Unlock Smart Living with Smart Door Locks

Leveraging ThroughTek’s Kalay Platform and its modular functionalities, ThroughTek helps businesses efficiently and cost-effectively upgrade door lock products, unlocking smart living for consumers.

As the demand for convenient living increases, smart appliances are gradually becoming standard in modern homes. Acting as the home guardians of entryways, smart door locks not only enhance daily convenience but also serve as the frontline of defense for home security. Typically, smart door locks come equipped with wireless connectivity, remote video monitoring, and multiple unlocking methods. They integrate features like peepholes, doorbells, and door locks, allowing consumers to use mobile APPs to check visitors and control the door remotely, thereby enjoying a more convenient and secure lifestyle.

The global smart door lock market size is projected to grow from 2.91 billion in 2024 to USD 11.88 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 19.2%, according to Fortune Business Insights. The smart door lock market has moved beyond its initial stage of low-price competition, and consumer focus is now shifting towards product value.

This is driving businesses to actively integrate diverse technological advancements and offer a variety of application features. For instance, some smart door locks on the market incorporate facial recognition technology, allowing users to open the door by scanning their faces. These locks also feature wide-angle detection areas, enabling use by all family members, including children and the elderly. Additionally, infrared night vision ensures accurate door opening even in dimly lit environments. When combined with fingerprint recognition technology, door lock security is further enhanced. Moreover, certain models equipped with indoor screens allow users to view visitors from inside and communicate with them using a voice-changing feature on a smartphone app, protecting user privacy.

As the smart door lock market gradually enters its growth phase, with declining production costs and increasing profits, it is expected to attract more players into the competition, leading to the creation of more products that offer value to consumers and further capture market opportunities.

ThroughTek is dedicated to developing IoT technologies and cloud platform services that enable businesses to create smart door locks with a competitive edge. Our technologies and services include:

Smart door locks are typically powered by internal batteries and often enter sleep mode to conserve energy, only waking up when needed. This wake-up process usually takes around 2 to 6 seconds, which can be problematic if the response time is too long. ThroughTek’s remote wake-up technology addresses this issue by enabling the device to be instantly awakened from sleep mode, ensuring a prompt and reliable response. This advance strengthens the home’s frontline defense and enhances the safety of family members.

Since its inception, ThroughTek has focused on developing easy-to-set-up, simple-to-operate, highly penetrative, and secure P2P connection technology. This technology enables a direct connection between smart door locks and smartphone APPs, reducing the need for third-party servers to relay data. This direct connection minimizes transmission latency, allowing users to view real-time video feeds of what’s happening in front of their doors. Additionally, it reduces data transfer costs, effectively helping businesses save money. Most importantly, customers who purchase this technology can freely use the ThroughTek-developed KDC platform service to monitor their products’ network bandwidth usage at any time.

We offer OEM/ODM services for mobile APPs, allowing full customization to meet client requirements. We can design, develop, or assist in creating the desired APPs. Common smart door lock features we can tailor include real-time monitoring, capturing photos of suspicious individuals, sending alert notifications, checking door lock battery levels, and setting door-opening permissions.

This pre-built smart home mobile APP allows businesses to quickly create a dedicated APP for their smart door locks by simply replacing the logo, brand colors, and other elements. Hausetopia APP supports mainstream communication protocols, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Z-Wave.

ThroughTek’s Kalay Platform offers a variety of modular functional products, including cloud recording, Kalay Push Notification Service (KPNS), and integrated intelligent voice assistant services (CERES). The cloud recording service operates on a subscription-based model, allowing consumers to choose between continuous recording and event recording based on their needs. Continuous recording provides 24/7 monitoring, while event recording is triggered by abnormal motion, capturing live footage on the spot. Even if the door lock is damaged, the video can still be played back. This subscription-based business model generates recurring revenue for businesses and empowers consumers to select the services they need, creating a win-win situation for both supply and demand.

Smart door locks have revolutionized home security, transforming them into vigilant sentinels that keep us informed about activity at our doorsteps. But how can we convince consumers to invest in these advanced devices? Businesses must prioritize product quality and continuous innovation, endowing smart door locks with features that genuinely meet user needs. This requires enhancements in hardware, software, and the broader ecosystem surrounding the door lock.

We offer highly flexible solutions, efficient technical support, and comprehensive after-sales service. We are eager to collaborate with industry partners to develop smarter, more convenient, and secure door locks. Want to learn more about our products and services? Contact us today!
