Summary
- New smart lock uses advanced 3D facial recognition for unlocking.
- It's the first direct-install smart lock from SwitchBot.
- Pro model adds fingerprint and palm-vein scanning.
SwitchBot has unveiled its new Lock Vision series of smart locks, featuring cutting-edge 3D facial recognition technology for swift, glance-based unlocking. This innovative approach allows users to access their homes quickly and securely, setting a new standard in smart home security. The technology promises near-instantaneous access after a facial scan.
The Lock Vision series represents a significant shift for SwitchBot, as these locks are designed for direct installation into the door, unlike previous models that retrofitted over existing hardware. Supporting Matter-over-Wi-Fi, it ensures seamless integration with systems like Apple Home. The device is powered by a rechargeable battery offering six months of use, with an additional five-year backup.
Two versions have been announced: the base Lock Vision and the enhanced Lock Vision Pro. The base model provides multiple access methods including facial recognition, passcodes, app control, and NFC. The Pro version expands these options to include fingerprint scanning and contactless palm-vein recognition, offering users a choice of advanced biometric security features.
