Smart Locks

A smart lock is a mechanical and electronic locking device, which opens with an authorized user's access code. In a smart home, smart locks let a homeowner give others access to their house without needing a key. These can be installed with an app and will connect to the existing home security system. With the right app, a user will be able to see their trusted contact information, and the option to send them a text message or call them. The options are endless for smart locks to compliment any home security strategy.

These locks are highly tamper-resistant. Most models are sealed against tampering with both the interior and exterior; however, it's still possible to damage the lock by inserting tools such as a screwdriver. Furthermore, since the lock is sealed, a burglar will most likely not consider breaking it in to gain entry. Some models are equipped with proximity sensors, which sound an alarm when it senses movement around the perimeter of the door. These devices are just as easy to install and operate similar to traditional ones. However, many home automation companies like Smart Home now offer wireless solutions that do not use Bluetooth.

These devices will usually need to be installed on the actual door itself. They are just as effective at stopping burglars as the older models, but they are much easier to use. However, there are several disadvantages as well. To begin with, these are very expensive. These can run into the hundreds to even thousands of dollars depending on the type and configuration. Furthermore, they are usually not installed properly. Since the lock has to communicate with the door opener and the frame of the door, these are often placed in the wrong location. While some popular models have deadbolt locks that are actually installed in the garage, this is not always the case with the more expensive models. Recently, in January 2020, Hugolog launched 4 new innovative smart lock solutions at CES 2020.
