Himax Teams Up with DESMAN to Unveil Revolutionary High-End Smart Door Locks at CES 2024 - Seite 2

Himax remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing the performance of ultralow power WiseEye solutions and propelling advanced AI inferences, such as face recognition and personnel detection capabilities, into next generation smart door locks. As an illustration, these innovative AI features determine whether a lingering individual is suspicious by matching with the trusted database. Upon confirmation of a suspicious event, the live video recording function is triggered. Himax WiseEye AI not only helps filter out false activation but also reduces the power consumption of the smart door lock, thereby further optimizing computing energy efficiency and prolonging battery lifespan of the whole system.

“The collaboration with Himax to launch the dual cat eye smart door lock with Shotax Sentinel Cat Eye module, is designed to effectively mitigate the risk of missed footage capture. The all-day ultralow power snapshot capture functionality allows customers to enjoy 24-hour monitoring without the need for frequent battery replacement. Additionally, customers can review the playback on cloud at any time, enabling all-round and monitoring to ensure household safety,” said Mr. Sonne Sang, R&D Director at DESMAN.

“The swift integration of WiseEye technology in the smart lock sector well validates our capability to drive revolutionary breakthroughs in the industry. This collaboration with DESMAN marks a significant milestone for Himax in the smart home domain,” said Mr. Mark Chen, Vice President of Smart Sensing business at Himax. “Moving forward, Himax is committed to advancing its WiseEye product to deliver energy-efficient smart sensing AI solutions for the smart home market. Our goal is to provide consumers with a safer and more convenient way of life,” concluded Mr. Chen.

Himax and DESMAN invite all interested parties to stop by our exhibition booth at The Venetian Las Vegas Hotel (3355 Las Vegas Boulevard S, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) Venetian Exhibit Suite 34-208 to experience the parties’ state-of-the-art technologies in Smart Door Lock applications.
