The Lockly Visage Zeno series uses facial detection to automatically unlock your door when you approach – and it works as seamlessly as the facial ID cards on my iPhone. If you prefer to conclude from face recognition, the Smart Lock supports several Fallback methods, including fingerprints, PIN code entry, Apple Home -Key, Forest control via the app and a physical key.

Many people hesitate to use facial recognition technology due to data protection and security concerns. Nevertheless, the users assure that facial data are encrypted and stores locally in the lock instead of being uploaded to the Internet.

In addition to the protection of your facial data from hackers that violate servers, the Visage Zeno series also has several safety protection in scanning mechanism. This Smart Lock uses binocular IR cameras to create a 3D card of your face so that it cannot deceive with pictures or video. The radar movement detection also helps to confirm that a real person is present before the lock scans a face at all and reduces parody attempts.

Switch the regular safety and firmware updates through the Smart Lock via the mobile app and encrypt the communication between your phone and the lock.

The Lockly Visage Zeno series is the most accurate and constant smart lock that I used – and I tested many. Compared to other popular intelligent locks on the market, including the AQARA U100, my former favorite, this is more slow and its fingerprint scanner is much more reliable.

Instead of constantly replacing the AA batteries, the Visage Zeno series uses a rechargeable battery, and each intelligent lock contains two so that they never go without a battery.

I love that I can just go to the door to unlock it, but I can also add the fingerprints of my children so that they come in when we come home from school. I also add guest codes and even guest fingerprints so that all of our authorized family members can unlock the door, and we always know who unlocked them and when.

While the discount of 10% would earn this deal in the Ednet 2/5 editor's deal, Locky products are heavily rated and rarely offered for sale, which sweetens the deal.
