With its disruptive design philosophy and cutting-edge technology, the R9 (Gimbal Edition) smart door lock reimagines the first line of defense for the modern home. Featuring a pioneering anthropomorphic front lock design, it is equipped with a lively interactive display that showcases up to 40 animated facial expressions in response to different scenarios—such as visitor arrival or a family member returning home. This design humanizes the technology, endowing it with the warmth and personality of an intelligent housekeeper.

The product introduces the world’s first gimbal-based peephole camera, allowing users to rotate and view the area in front of the door freely, and tracking human automatically. With intelligent human-tracking and zero blind spots, it far surpasses traditional fixed peepholes. It also adjusts the recognition angle based on the user’s height—especially considerate for facial recognition in children. Integrated with the Miya AI Housekeeper System, which includes an advanced large language model, interactive engine, and multi-dimensional surveillance, it supports intelligent dialogue, visitor identification, and package monitoring—minimizing the need for physical interaction.

Keyhole-Free Design:The front panel of the lock removes the traditional keyhole, adopting a seamless minimalist aesthetic. This not only enhances the overall visual appeal but also eliminates technical lock-picking risks at the source, significantly boosting security.

GPTfinger 2.0 Curved Fingerprint Technology:Equipped with the industry’s first 3D curved fingerprint sensor, this system is ergonomically designed for a better fit to the finger. Combined with an advanced fingerprint ISP imaging algorithm, it captures clearer images and delivers more accurate recognition—dramatically improving the success rate and speed of fingerprint unlocking.

Ultra-Clear Large Screen: The back lock features a 5.5-inch expansive screen, providing clear and smooth video call and greatly enhancing the interactive experience.

Effortless Usability:A bridge-style handle structure ensures comfortable and smooth door-opening motions, while clearly marked buttons and LED indicators make operation intuitive and user-friendly.

Child Friendly:The gimbal peephole intelligently adjusts its angle to match the height of the user, ensuring accurate facial recognition even for children—solving a major pain point in conventional systems.
