Kwikset 620
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Lockly Vision Elite is a comprehensive smart lock and video doorbell combo that offers high-quality remote monitoring and fast biometric entry. Its main trade-off is the bulkier form factor and the requirement for a separate Wi-Fi hub for full functionality. It is best suited for tech-savvy homeowners who want an all-in-one security solution without subscription fees.
The Kwikset HomeConnect 620 is a robust Z-Wave smart lock featuring ANSI Grade 2 security and exceptional long-range connectivity up to 1 mile. Its physical rubberized keypad offers superior reliability over touchscreens, though it lacks fingerprint scanning. It is best suited for Z-Wave ecosystem users who need extensive user code management and do not mind using a hub.
