If you have ever looked into updating the locks in your home or business, you might have noticed the phrase “smart lock” popping up in your online search results. While some features are obvious, there are other features on certain locks that you might not know about.
Here are a few neat features that a smart lock can have you might not know!
Biometrics:
Like in a spy film, but less laser-y, this is a way to scan a physical feature on the person who has access. Your smart phone might already have one if you use your finger to unlock it.
Security Tokens:
While you might not need an actual key to unlock a smart lock, they still might not unlock unless you have a physical item within a small radius of its surroundings. It could be as simple as an electronic card in your wallet or a keychain.
Integration with Alarm Companies:
If a lock is tampered with or broken, it can send a signal to your alarm company. Pretty neat!
Alexa/ Home Assistant Communication:
“Alexa, lock the front door,” and voila! You don’t even need to get out of bed to make sure the house is locked up for the night.
Access Log:
Want to know when the dog sitter stopped by? A smart lock can log in every time it was accessed and tell you exactly each time it was used.
