Lockin Veno Smart Deadbolt Lock with Palm Vein, Keyless Entry Smart Lock for Front Door with Doorbell, Fingerprint Lock with Built-in WiFi, App Remote Control, 7-Month Battery Life, IP65 Waterproof

Best lock on the market as of 2025!
I have always been a tech guy, and I like to keep my house up to date with the latest and greatest smart tech. I have owned 5 different types of electronic/wifi locks for my house, and they were all pretty slick.. but this lock is in a class COMPLETELY by itself. I have owned it for several months now, and I still am amazed by how this thing works. So here are the things that stand out about this lock: It is completely effortless and lightning fast to unlock your door. When you walk up to it, it senses motion and wakes up, then you simply hold your hand up a few inches in front of it, and in less than a half of a second, the door unlocks. It does it so fast that it feels like it reads your mind. On my previous locks, they all had fingerprint scanners and keypads. The fingerprint scanners were my primary method of unlocking, but if my hands were wet or dirty, half the time the lock would not read correctly and I would get an error. Sometimes I had to scan my finger 3 or 4 times to finally get it to unlock. With this Lockin smart lock, it doesn’t matter if your hands are wet or dirty.. it reads your palm and unlocks EVERY time. As a matter of fact, of the hundreds of times I have used it, I do not believe it has ever failed a single time to read my palm. My whole family loves it, because of the reliability and speed! On top of the genius palm reading tech, it also has a keypad, and a camera! It’s a very sleek, nice looking lock, heavy duty, and has a nice rechargeable battery pack. I would challenge anyone to find a more convenient, and more reliable lock anywhere. I can confidently say, this may be the best lock on the market as of 2025.

Next-Level Security & Convenience!
My first impressions are excellent. The lock feels solid, high-quality, and well-designed right out of the box. The touchless palm vein and fingerprint features are what attracted me to this model, and the overall technology looks very impressive.The packaging is clean and professional, and everything needed for a DIY installation is included with clear instructions. The WiFi keyless entry, app control, auto-lock, and multiple backup options (code and key) make this one of the most feature-packed smart locks I’ve seen.

Awesome Smart Lock! Software needs some work
I’ve been using the Lockin Veno (no camera model) for 2 months now. So far, it has been working great. I like it quite a bit, but its app is missing important scheduling and organization features.What I like:• Installation was relatively easy, and the app walks you through the necessary steps.• All the lock/unlock features work very well;• I LOVE the palm vein scanner! It’s fast, reliable, and very convenient.• The keypad, fingerprint scanner, and physical key features also work well;• There is a magnetic sensor in the lock that detects a physical magnet built into the (supplied) strike plate on the door jamb. This means that the lock actually ‘knows’ if the lock is engaged AND the door is closed. I’ve tried or installed four other locks that lack this feature, meaning that when their app says ‘door locked,’ it only means that the lock is engaged – you can turn the knob to the locked position with the door open, and it’ll still say ‘Door Locked.’• Auto lock feature is great. I selected 3 seconds for mine; Now I only need to close the door when I come in or walk out.What would make it better:• There is no User’s Manual. Only a startup guide. Some information is in the app and YT channel, but not all. For example, if a palm scanner fails, the feature goes to sleep for 5 seconds. I only found out via e-mail.• Matter integration is built in, but it’s VERY rudimentary, limited only to lock on/off. An external Matter hub is needed.• The app’s scheduling features are minimal: I wanted to buy another Lockin Veno for my rental unit, but there is no way to set a time period, e.g., FROM Tue Oct 7 11 am TO Thu Oct 9, 9 am. The app for my existing Eufy lock does just that easily. I wanted to set a schedule for my housekeeper for every other Tuesday, but I can only do every Tuesday. You can set a ‘Periodic Password’ (requires a username too…), but the check-in/ check-out options are too limited.• Customer support responds to e-mail messages promptly, but my feature requests have not been implemented to date.• I could not figure out how to manage (mostly delete) stored events.

Excellent produit, installation facile et fonctionalités avancées, détection des veines de la main et d’empreintes ultra rapide et nettement supérieure à d’autres produits. Après avoir eu un problème avec les “push notifications” et avoir contacté le support à la clientèle, une autre serrure m’a été expédié. Excellent support! Tout fonctionne maintenant.

EDIT: I am dumb. There is a big events button at the bottom of the app. You can view all the recordings and access there. The palm reader also identifies who it was that opened the door, so it’s not a gimmick!This is a biggest and heaviest smart deadbolt/lock I’ve ever used. It’s so tall, it nearly reaches the door chain above it. It’s the first one I’ve tried that uses palm vein scanning technology and makes for true touchless access. During the initial week of testing, the vein reading was nearly always instant and seldom needed a rescan. This gives me confidence over traditional fingerprint scanners that seemingly get less accurate over time and requires sensor cleaning to maintain that function.This door lock also features an extremely wide angle camera. The fish eye lens provides coverage of areas that aren’t typically visible on most door bell cameras. So this will be tremendously useful for checking on packages left under the door. The unit also has an integrated door bell and would be ideal for those that don’t have 16/24VDC wires going to their front door. It also features a big 5000mAh lithium ion battery for long run times. Battery life seems to go 1% a day, so I expect about 100 days of usage per charge.I also like that the “door open/close” sensor is integrated into the strike plate. So no need to stick on a sensor (essentially a magnet) on the side of the door frame.As for the app, it seems fairly polished and I didn’t find much bugs. Firmware upgrade went smoothly as is onboarding the various biometric scans and pins for each household member.Negatives, there are a few:1. It’s a tight fit for older homes with 1.5″ bore holes in their doors even after removing the spacer. Fishing through the wide connectors and three cables is also a challenge. Doors with more standard 2.125″ bore holes will have a much easier time on install.2. It still uses 2.4 GHz despite having an antenna facing the inside of the house. Opening the video feed takes longer than I’d like as a result.3. It does not record. The camera only does live feed. Despite advertising 8GB of storage, there is nowhere in the app to review footage based on motion events.4. Slow motion sensor. More often than not, it fails to capture the courier dropping off packages. The subject has to be directly in front of the door for several seconds for it to register and notify you in the app.5. Charging requires taking the lock offline. Despite there being a USB-C port on the exterior facing side, there isn’t one inside. So to charge, you need to remove the battery and plug the charger directly to the battery’s USB-C port.6. Exterior USB-C port (for emergency backup power) is not covered. Not sure how it would hold up in weather climates.Aside from these, I’m happy with both the performance and quality of the lock. It’s an upgrade to the U Bolt Wifi Pro I was previously using thanks to the new biometric access method. It can only get better if they addressed the issues I mentioned.
