Best Wi‑Fi Smart Locks with Built‑in Video Camera

TL;DR: The eufy Video Smart Lock S330 3‑in‑1 blends a 150° 2K camera, 99% AI detection and a 10 000 mAh battery for a year‑long run, delivering a full‑video entry solution at a mid‑tier price.

What really sets the S330 apart is its 150° field of view paired with 99% AI detection accuracy, meaning you get a wide‑angle view of anyone at your door and highly reliable alerts. The lock also stores up to 50 fingerprints with a 98% pass rate, and it unlocks in about 0.3 seconds, which users repeatedly praise as faster than fumbling for a key.

Compared with the other four locks in this roundup, the eufy unit is heavier than the Hornbill Video Smart Lock (3.0 pounds) and the Lockin Veno Plus (3.66 pounds) but lighter than the Lockly Vision Elite (6.7 pounds). It also offers a longer battery life—365 days on a single 10 000 mAh rechargeable pack—while the Hornbill lists only 120 days on much smaller cells. All five models use Wi‑Fi, but the eufy lock is limited to 2.4 GHz, a restriction the Lockin Veno Plus and Lockly Vision Elite also share.

Real‑world feedback highlights the convenience of the 3‑in‑1 design: homeowners love eliminating a separate doorbell, camera and deadbolt. Professional reviewers note the IP65 rating and BHMA certification as evidence of durability in harsh weather, and everyday users repeatedly mention the “set‑and‑forget” feel of a battery that lasts a full year. The only recurring gripe is the need to purchase a microSD card for local storage, as the lock does not include one out of the box.

Technical details further reinforce value: a motion detection range of 5.8 m, false‑alarm reduction of 95%, and Bluetooth range of 6.1 m ensure reliable sensor performance. The lock’s auto‑lock feature works with a built‑in door sensor, and it integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice‑controlled entry.

Avoid if: you need 5 GHz Wi‑Fi connectivity or a lighter, slimmer deadbolt design

TL;DR: The Lockin Veno Plus blends ultra‑fast 0.17‑second palm‑vein entry, a 2K 180° panoramic camera and 8 GB of local storage into a sleek deadbolt that costs $259.69 and weighs 3.66 lb.

What really sets this lock apart is the Venokey™ palm‑vein scanner, which unlocks in just 0.17 seconds with a reported 99.9% accuracy and supports up to 50 vein entries. Pair that with a 2K fisheye camera covering a full 180° × 180° field of view, and you get head‑to‑toe video verification without any subscription fees, thanks to the built‑in 8 GB storage.

Compared with the other four contenders, the Veno Plus is heavier than the Hornbill Video Smart Lock’s 3.0 lb but noticeably lighter than eufy’s 5.51 lb and Lockly’s roughly 6.7 lb units. Its 180° × 180° view also eclipses eufy’s 150° and Hornbill’s 155°, giving you a wider visual envelope for front‑door monitoring.

Users consistently praise the lightning‑fast vein unlock and the convenience of six access methods—palm vein, fingerprint, PIN, mechanical key, app and voice—while noting the fisheye lens can introduce distortion that makes faces look stretched. Professional reviewers highlight the dual radar and PIR motion sensors, the IP54 rating (adequate for most covered doorways but not for fully exposed outdoor installations), and the Matter‑over‑Thread protocol that lets the lock slot into modern smart‑home ecosystems without extra hubs.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Lockin Veno Plus offers Local Storage Capacity: 8GB

Avoid if: You need advanced features or professional‑grade performance

TL;DR: The YHV Smart Lock packs a built‑in doorbell camera, 5 unlock options and 0.3‑second fingerprint reads into a compact 3.0‑inch deep deadbolt for $164.70.

The standout feature is the integrated doorbell camera paired with two‑way audio and a Stranger Alarm, all housed in a stainless‑steel deadbolt that measures just 3.0 inches deep, 6.85 inches high and 1.97 inches wide. Biometric access is fast—fingerprints are recognized in 0.3 seconds with a reported >99% success rate, and you can store up to 50 fingerprints plus 50 six‑digit passwords.

Compared with the four other locks in this roundup, the YHV model is the most affordable option. It offers fewer fingerprint slots than Hornbill’s 100‑capacity unit, but matches Lockly Vision Elite’s 0.3‑second recognition speed while keeping its footprint smaller than the bulkier Lockly design. Unlike the eufy S330, YHV does not list a massive battery pack; instead it runs on four AA cells for roughly 200 unlocks, which is less endurance than the eufy’s year‑long claim. Its IP54 rating gives it dust and splash protection that the other models don’t explicitly advertise.

Users praise the convenience of five distinct unlock methods—fingerprint, password, app, key and temporary codes—especially the anti‑peep password that randomizes extra digits around the six‑digit code. Reviewers also note the camera’s usefulness for Airbnb guests and the auto‑lock timer that can be set between 10 and 90 seconds. On the downside, the battery life of about 200 unlocks means you’ll be swapping AA batteries fairly often, and the batteries aren’t included. Some owners found the TUYA app setup a bit fiddly, a point echoed by professional reviewers who highlighted the need for a physical key backup when power runs low.

Additional technical touches include a Type‑C emergency power port for backup charging and an operating temperature range from –31 °F to 158 °F, making it suitable for extreme climates. The lock’s deadbolt design, combined with its weather‑proof rating, means you can install it on most front doors without worrying about rain or dust.

Avoid if: Reliability and user satisfaction are your top concerns

TL;DR: Hornbill’s Video Smart Lock packs a 2K camera with 155° view, 5 m night vision, 300‑user access and a rechargeable 2×2500 mAh battery, all for $189.99, making it a solid budget all‑in‑one option.

The lock’s standout is its integrated 2K HD camera, offering a 155° field of view and night‑vision capability out to 5 meters. Combined with PIR motion detection that works up to 1 meter and an IP65 rating, the unit can handle rain, dust and temperature swings from –25°C to 70°C while still delivering clear video.

Compared with the other four contenders, Hornbill is lighter than the Lockly Vision Elite and the Lockin Veno Plus, and it sits in a similar size envelope to the YHV Smart Lock. It also lands at a lower price point than the eufy Video Smart Lock S330 3‑in‑1, making it the most budget‑friendly option in this group.

Everyday owners appreciate the quick app setup and the reliable fingerprint and passcode recognition that reviewers repeatedly mention. Professionals note the solid integration of camera, doorbell and biometric scanner, while also flagging the 2.4 GHz‑only Wi‑Fi as a source of occasional video stutter when the router is far away. The lock’s Bluetooth range of about 2 meters means remote unlocking relies on Wi‑Fi, a trade‑off some users accept for the lower cost.

On the power side, the lock runs on two 2500 mAh rechargeable batteries that deliver roughly 120 days of operation before needing a recharge. Auto‑lock works out of the box, and voice‑assistant compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant adds hands‑free convenience. The activity log keeps a record of each entry, which is useful for households with many users.

Best for: Buyers in the budget price range seeking the best quality at that price point — the Hornbill Video Smart Lock offers Battery Capacity: 2x 2500 mAh

Avoid if: You need advanced features or professional‑grade performance

TL;DR: The Lockly Vision Elite packs a 1080p camera, 15‑ft night vision, 99‑fingerprint slots, and 32 GB local storage, but its $299.98 price and required hub keep it in the premium niche.

What really sets this lock apart is the built‑in 1920 × 1080p camera paired with infrared night vision that reaches 15 feet, plus a 2‑way intercom for real‑time conversation at the door. The AI motion sensor alerts you to activity, and the lock records up to 91 hours of video on the included 32 GB TF card.

At 6.7 pounds, the Vision Elite is heavier than the eufy Video Smart Lock S330 (5.51 lb) and the Hornbill Video Smart Lock (3.0 lb), and it also outweighs the Lockin Veno Plus (3.66 lb). Its 99‑fingerprint capacity outstrips eufy’s 50 slots and YHV’s 50 slots, while matching the Hornbill’s 100‑slot offering. Unlike the peers, Lockly provides 32 GB of local storage, a spec not listed for the other models, and it requires a separate Vision Connect Hub for Wi‑Fi connectivity.

Reviewers consistently praise the lightning‑fast 0.3‑second fingerprint recognition and the crystal‑clear video feed, noting that the lack of a monthly storage fee adds real value. The downsides that surface in user comments are the mandatory hub, which limits portability, and occasional camera obstruction when visitors stand too close to the lock.

Technical extras include the PIN Genie touchscreen that shuffles digits for privacy, a built‑in solar panel that helps recharge the two lithium batteries, and backup power from a 9 V battery. Voice control works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and auto‑lock engages automatically after each entry.
