Best door lock all the way through
The palm scanner is fast and accurate. It recognizes registered palms in about a second and unlocks smoothly. I have tested it in different lighting conditions and temperatures and it has been consistent. No false rejections, no letting in strangers. It knows who is who and responds accordingly.Beyond the palm feature, it has all the standard smart lock capabilities. Keypad codes, fingerprint reader, app control, temporary access for guests. Multiple ways to get in means flexibility for different situations. The palm scanner is the headline feature but having backup options is practical.Build quality is solid and the lock feels secure. This is not some flimsy gadget pretending to be security hardware. It looks and feels like a serious lock that happens to have futuristic tech built in. The installation fit my standard door prep without modification.The app integration works well for remote monitoring and access management. See who comes and goes, create and revoke access codes, check lock status from anywhere. All the smart features you would expect from a premium smart lock in 2026.For anyone wanting to upgrade their door security with something that feels cutting edge while actually being practical, this delivers. The palm recognition is not just a party trick. It is genuinely useful and works every time. Welcome to the future of home entry.

Great lock overall, especially if you have a good use case for all its features.
I was very excited about this lock and it mostly lives up to expectations. It does what its advertised to do and it does it well. Once you know where to place your palm, it’s easy to always get it right the first time and have the door unlock quickly. The palm vein unlock method itself is very cool and will make you feel like you’re living in the future and should be a fun thing to show off to others at first too.The camera also does a good job for those who want a 2 in 1 combo or don’t want to replace their old dumb doorbell. I won’t be using the video doorbell feature for monitoring because I already have a video doorbell though. But I still wanted it because my parents stay with me sometimes and I don’t have windows near the front door or a peep hole so the screen on the inside is a very useful feature for them so they can see who is at the door without having to open it. So for anybody in my position with elderly or kids, I think the version with the screen can be very useful to have.As for my dislikes. Two things stick out to me. First is that the lock motor is slow. Some new locks have much faster motors to turn the deadbolt nowadays. The Eufy on the other hand still uses a very slow one. Not a big deal, but it’s a minor annoyance because I would like to see progress. The other is that the lock won’t give you an option to turn on the interior screen automatically whether it senses motion or someone rings the doorbell. I know this was probably done intentionally to save battery. But they should give us to the option to have the screen turn on with one method or another so we can already see who is there when we approach the door.Other than that I am a Home Assistant user and integrated this lock into HA using Matter over WiFi. Only the lock and battery is exposed. You won’t be able to expose the camera stream over Matter though. But for those that use Google Home or Alexa, the live stream is available. Control is fast(around ~1.5 seconds) but won’t feel instant. That’s just a minor nitpick on my part since I want everything to be as fast as turning on and off a light lol. I’ve had no issues like random disconnects so far. But it has only been a day so we’ll see. Same goes for the battery life. No idea again since it has only been a day.All that being said I think it’s still deserving of a perfect score because the main features of this lock are executed pretty well. I have a few nitpicks with it but I don’t think it should be knocked down because of that. Compared to what is available right now, it’s pretty much one of a kind with all that it has to offer. Just be sure that you want all these features because there are definitely cheaper options out there if you only want a palm lock or a lock/video doorbell combo. But for those that want it all, I think this is our only option and I can at least say that it does it well.

I’m very satisfied with this product

Its nice and has all the key features such as the video camera, doorbell & passcode. If you forget to recharge or run out of battery you can use a key to unlock as well.
