Why are so many manufacturers suddenly confident in the development of the Fingerprint Scanner market? In fact, there is a rumor that plays a big role. We all know that Smart Home is a piece of fat that is placed in front of many companies. However, due to various reasons, the development of smart home has been in a situation of being hot outside and cold inside. Many companies are looking for ways to disrupt the smart home market.

Let`s not talk about Fingerprint Scanner` problems with fingerprint recognition, Face Recognition, etc. for the time being. Just a problem of swiping cards to get electricity in hotels can make absolutely no difference. Most hotels have lost incentive to use Fingerprint Scanner.
After 20 to 30 years of development, the hotel's card swiping system has become complete. For hotels, opening the door without a card is an investment, but the value-added it brings is unpredictable. There will be a lot of resistance for hotels to invest. In addition to the long-term rental market, which is indeed a market for Fingerprint Scanner, other markets such as the developer market, home user market, and hotel market are duplication counting markets, and the anti-theft market for special institutions is a very small volume market. Therefore, this part of the market is far from being as optimistic as Fingerprint Scanner companies imagine.
