Security features: AES-128 encryption, anti-peeping passwords, automatic lockout protection, and instant break-in alerts add meaningful layers of security.
Weather-resistant design: Its IP55 rating allows the lock to withstand rain, dust, and everyday outdoor exposure.
Reasons to avoid
Limited fingerprint storage: The lock supports up to 20 fingerprints, which may be restrictive for larger families, offices, or rental properties.
2.4GHz WiFi only: The smart features require a 2.4GHz network and do not support 5GHz WiFi connections.
Battery not included: Users must purchase eight AA batteries separately before installation.
No built-in door sensor: The lock can auto-lock based on a timer, but it lacks a door-position sensor to verify whether the door is actually closed before locking.
