compatibility with the Visionline online solution.
The above is the description from Vingcard official datasheet.
What is Allure?
Let me explain to you what it is in more accessible words and pictures.
Allure’s idea is combine several elements of hotels to one body.
Integrates various functions in one
On vingcard Allure, it combines the doornumber(hotel room number)
Read room key card integrate-Separate the read card part from lock. Combine read card to the corridor panel(the RFID wave position). In this case the lock’s itself become very simple,it just leave a lever handle.
DND-Do Not Disturb, electronic indicator
Once upon press DND sign on inside room panel, the Corridor panel status light will become red(default standby is blue color).
And the doorbell button light will die. To indicator people doorbell is not able use now.
MUR- Makeup room,electronic indicator. Once upon touch the MUR sign inside room, the Corridor panel status light will become green.
Doorbell-When press the button it will
Allure’s corridor panel could select 16 colors as user prefer
Allure has the best look and aesthetic feeling,compared with the many competitors
Vingcard allure have many man competitors in the market,especially in China.
| Vingcard Allure | Competitors | |
| Room number | yes | yes |
| Hotel logo | Yes | Yes |
| DND/MUR | Yes | Yes |
| Doorbell button | Yes | Yes |
| Read card | Yes | No |
That is because the lock is not contained the ‘system’.
In my opinion, allure is more integrated and users do not have to buy door locks.The all competiors does not include hotel door lock, if a new build hotel buying it, they have to purchase door lock extrally.
Allure is flexible.
Most of the Allure’s appearance elements can be changed. Including the pattern, the numbers typography, even system functions.
This brings me to Rolls-Royce Motor cars.Rolls-Royce has even set up a place called Private Office.
How Rolls-Royce customize?
In private office customer could see eveything that allow changed by themself.
Rolls-Royce is not “building cars”, but the car as a space, in which art is created, whether it is the interior door panels, or the roof of the car, can be a mutual theme.
Also there are page allow user custom order.
In the page there are many details tell you which is allow custom by yourself.
That is why the Rolls-Royce Motor cars you see are almost different, they all have their own personalities. The 21st century is more about individuality than ordinary. This is a trend.
Let’s look at allure’s different customer profiles
Allure configure as follows
I-Allure Grand
II-Allure Blend
III-Allure Chic
IV-Allure Solo
| I.Grand | II.Blend | III.Chic | IV.Solo | |
| Doorbell button | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| In-room panel | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| DND/MUR status indicator | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Room Number | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| RFID Keycard | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Target Hotels | no lock, no room number, new built hotels | Hotel already have the locks, don’t need lock function of Allure.But need room number and DND/MUR. | Hotels already have the door locks and room numbers, need add the allure to control the DND/MUR. | Hotel has no locks yet,Just need RFID card and lock functions. |
What might be the problem？
Allure is not perfect product. Actuall in the world there is no perfect thing.
There are only correct thing.If you want choose it for your hotel you should mind following to check if it suits you.
-Users may take longer to decide which style.
The more choices people face, the higher the time cost they will consume-W.E.Hick,the British psychologists.
Allure provide many choices to people choose. This is good, but it may extend the time that they decide which one finally.
-Maintenance costs will be high.
If customer choose a special config of the numbers, the pattern, or functions. Once upon some defect, the customer need buy a new one to replace the defect one. This new one will be expensive, and it takes long time to get.
-Electricity bills should not be ignored.
The numbers on panel is always lightening. So is the card reader light. Every set Allure will need more than 1 power source. Then bunch of rooms will need power extraly.
Compared with those hotels that do not install this device, the annual electricity bill may be a part of the extra.
In general,Allure provide a wide selection of luxury door lock solutions(or doorbell). It is just like Rolls-Royce car.But its huge system and multiple options, heavy construction, doomed it will not be the kind of universal solution.
After all, not everyone needs a Rolls-Royce, right? In the end let’s enjoy the animation of vingcard allure.
