"While using a smart lock has a lot of positives, one of the negatives is having to deal with a battery that has unexpectedly gone dead. Lockin is introducing a smart lock that bypasses that problem: the V7 Max, which is powered by wireless optical charging. According to the company, the lock uses "eye-safe optical output to provide rapid power delivery with zero waste within a four-meter range.""
"This is how it works, according to Lockin: The smart lock's lithium battery is wirelessly charged by a transmitter, call an AuraCharge, which is plugged into an outlet and installed inside the house within 4 meters of the lock (you can mount the AuraCharge to the wall or place it on a table or other surface). Lockin says that if the transmitter is stopped for any reason, the lock will still work for several hours."
"The V7 Max has a built-in video doorbell, features five-inch touchscreens both inside and out, and is compatible with the Matter protocol, allowing it to work with Google, Apple, Amazon, and Samsung smart home systems. It uses two outer cameras, along with an AI system called LockinAI, which the company says can do everything from recognizing and logging deliveries, to monitoring children and elderly people for safety issues, to creating automatic highlight reels of family celebrations."
Lockin's V7 Max smart lock uses eye-safe optical wireless charging to deliver rapid power within a four-meter range via a transmitter called AuraCharge. AuraCharge plugs into an outlet and can be wall-mounted or placed on a surface inside the house; the lock retains several hours of operation if the transmitter stops. The V7 Max, designed by Hartmut Esslinger, supports finger vein, palm vein, and 3D facial recognition and features a curved handle. The lock includes a built-in video doorbell, five-inch touchscreens inside and out, Matter protocol compatibility, two outer cameras, and an AI system called LockinAI for delivery logging, monitoring, and highlight reels.
