Facial Recognition Locks Tested | Tech News

Facial recognition smart locks are here—and they actually work surprisingly well, unlocking your door just by looking at it, like your phone. Using infrared 3D mapping, they resist picture-based hacks and offer hands-free convenience without needing a phone or passcode. While the future may lie in UWB tech (still pricey and rare), facial recognition is the accessible, sci-fi door experience for now—perfect if you forget your phone or want device-free entry. We tested top models: the Eufy FamiLock E40 nailed it with lightning-fast unlocks even with sunglasses, and the Lockly Visage Zeno added Apple Home Key backup. But not all shine—some were painfully slow or glitchy, like the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro. Still, if you’re ready to embrace the future and UWB isn’t in your budget, these facial locks deliver a sleek, premium entry experience—just be mindful of biometric data storage.
