Wyze launched a new biometric smart lock, and its price might be the best part
"This palm-recognizing smart lock can detect when a person is in front of it to activate, not only when movement is detected. It scans the user's palm to detect and recognize the palm vein pattern and unlock if a match is detected. Unlike fingerprints, the veins in your palm aren't likely to change due to external factors like dry weather or minor injuries."
"Wyze promises that all biometric data is encrypted and stored on the smart lock and that none of it goes to the cloud or passes through the mobile app. Aside from this security measure, the Wyze Palm Lock lets users add extra digits before or after their passcode to fool anyone who could be watching. The Wyze Palm Lock sounds an alarm when multiple incorrect unlocking attempts are made, alerting users that tampering may be taking place."
Wyze Palm Lock authenticates users with palm-vein recognition and can proactively detect when a person is in front of it to activate. The lock scans palm vein patterns and unlocks on a match, offering more consistent results than fingerprint sensors affected by skin conditions or minor injuries. All biometric data is encrypted and stored locally on the device, with no biometric data sent to the cloud or passed through the mobile app. The lock supports up to 50 access codes, allows passcode obfuscation, sounds an alarm after multiple failed attempts, includes a physical key, and integrates with Wyze video doorbells. A built-in gyroscope detects door movement and angle to enable automatic locking when the door closes.
