Smart locks are getting smarter, incorporating more advanced technologies that offer you more secure ways to unlock your door. The latest company to offer this is Switch Bot, with its new $170 Lock Vision and $230 Lock Vision Pro. The new smart lock incorporates 3D structured-light facial recognition technology, which the company says enables faster, more effortless unlocking.
The Vision Series locks use 20,000 infrared points to create 3D facial maps that Switch Bot says can achieve millimeter-level recognition. The system can unlock a door in a second while resisting spoofing that uses photos or videos. SwitchBot says that the system also works when people are wearing glasses, hats, wigs or makeup.
