Score: 72/100Rankings
The eufy FamiLock E34 is a Wi-Fi-enabled smart deadbolt featuring biometric palm vein recognition as its primary unlocking method, offering ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 security. It combines this novel vein-scanning technology with traditional smart home controls, multiple backup authentication methods, and a dual-battery power system for reliability. It is best suited for tech-forward homeowners seeking cutting-edge biometric security and privacy.
The Philips 4000 Series is a hub-free smart lock with built-in Wi-Fi, offering fast fingerprint recognition and IP53 water resistance. Its primary limitation is the low fingerprint capacity of only 20 users and the absence of an emergency power backup. It is ideal for small families or individuals seeking affordable, keyless entry with voice control capabilities.
