Advanced identification and security technologies

The Smart Lock 5 Max model supports a total of 12 different unlocking methods. Among them, AI-based 3D facial recognition and palm vein detection stand out. The system recognizes faces for users between 1.2 and 2 meters tall in about one second, while the palm scanning process is performed at a distance of 10–20 centimeters.

The Dual Camera version of the device is additionally equipped with UWB technology. With its help, simply bringing an authorized device close to the lock is enough to open the door contactlessly.

The autonomous operation of the device is powered by two batteries with a total capacity of 8000 mAh, providing up to 11 months of continuous service. When the battery level drops below 10 percent, the lock switches to energy-saving mode and retains core unlocking functions for another 2.5 months.
