- Eufy has released a new intelligent lock with a built -in video camera
- The family S3 Max has an extra wide field of vision to register visitors
- The lock also has palm recognition and can release the door in a second
Eufy has just launched a new intelligent lock with a built -in camera to record visitors and palm recognition that can open your door in just a second when you recognize the unique pattern of blood vessels in your hand. The EUFY FAMILOCK S3 Max is now available for $ 329.99 (around £ 260 / au $ 530) if it is an existing EUFY customer, and will go on a general sale for $ 399.99 (around £ 320 / AU $ 640) As of March 17 in online stores, including homedepot.com and bestbuy.com.
That is considerably more than most of the best intelligent locks we have tried, but the family S3 Max effectively doubles as a video timbre thanks to its 3k -wide 2K camera that captures sharp images of visitors and packet deliveries.
The camera offers a vertical head to head of 150 degrees and a diagonal view of 180 degrees, which exceeds many of the best videos of videos in the market and covers blind points that other devices can be lost. For example, although the last video bell of the ring battery is excellent, its field of vision is only 150 x 150 degrees, which means that it could lose the movement that the family would detect.
You can check the camera images on your phone through the EUFY application, or use an interior video screen (sold separately) that effectively work as a high -resolution peephole, and should be particularly useful for children and users Superiors who may not have access ready to an adequate smartphone.
Practical access
The family offers a range of different opening options, the most interesting of which is the recognition of the palm. This technology (also used in the intelligent video palm block of video philips 5000) uses an infrared sensor to detect the unique pattern of the blood vessels in the hand and compares it with a database of up to 50 scanned palm trees to determine if It is a coincidence. If so, the lock will open in just a second, letting you enter without the discomfort of rumaring for the keys.
Nor will you have to worry about energy cuts. The lock has a 15,000 mAh rechargeable lithium battery, plus four AAA batteries as a backup, which keeps it completely working for up to six months, and offers basic functions (motor racing and access to pin) for up to one year.
We already have in our hands the euphy family S3 Max, and we will bring you a complete review of the device very soon.
