The #Lockin Veno Plus brings some features I haven’t seen together in one lock before. With fast palm vein recognition, fingerprint and PIN access, Matter-over-Wi-Fi, and a built-in 2K camera with a 180° field of view, the Veno Plus is designed to do a lot more than simply lock and unlock your door.

The built-in camera can detect people and motion, provide video storage, and send alerts when a package arrives or someone lingers around your door. @lockin.global
