Are smart locks as secure as mechanical locks?

In the minds of many people, electronic things are definitely not as secure as purely mechanical ones. In fact, smart locks are a combination of "mechanical locks + electronics", which means that smart locks have developed on the basis of mechanical locks. The mechanical parts of smart locks are basically the same as those of mechanical locks, such as the C-level lock core, lock body, and mechanical keys, so in terms of preventing technical opening, they are actually quite similar.

The advantage of smart locks is that most of them have networking capabilities, so they have functions such as anti-pry alarm and real-time viewing of door lock dynamics, making them more secure than mechanical locks. Currently, there are also visual smart locks on the market, which allow users to not only monitor the front door dynamics in real time through their phones, but also to make remote video calls and remotely unlock the door. Overall, smart locks are much better in terms of security than mechanical locks.
