WiFi Enabled Front Door Lock
Smart homes is a continued trend in home building, and companies who don't invest time and know how into moving their brand in that direction is missing a huge boat. The latest tech-product we have our eyes on is the WiFi Enabled Front Door Lock made by Kwikset. Kwikset is committed to manufacturing a secure smart front door lock that meets techy-homeowner needs without compromising security.
[Pictured left] Kwikset has released their Halo Wi-Fi-enabled smart lock that directly connects to your existing home Wi-Fi router to create a simple and secure smart home.
This [relatively] cheap feature is an easy way to bring your home into 2020. Through the Kwikset app, you can access remote capabilities from anywhere in the world, as long as you are connected to internet. A homeowner will be able to use the WiFi Enabled Front Door Lock from the app to remotely lock and unlock the doors, monitor and receive notifications of who comes in and out of the home, and view the locks activity for ultimate peace of mind.
Using the WiFi Enabled Front Door Lock you can set up to 250 user access codes - which you can enable or disable at any time with just a click from your smartphone. This Halo WiFi Enabled Front Door Lock features patented SecureScreen technology to prevent code detection from fingerprints on the touchscreen. The WiFi Enabled Front Door Lock is easy to install and just runs off of 4 AA batteries and is a great addition to any home.
What are your thoughts? Is this going to be the new home standard going forward, or does this present a major security issue?
