Score: 78/100
Smonet Smart Lock
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Schlage BE365 CAM Camelot is a single-cylinder electronic keypad deadbolt with Grade 2 security and a long-lasting 9V battery. It offers keyless convenience and easy installation but lacks smart features and auto-locking. It is ideal for families or shared homes requiring multiple user codes without physical keys.
The Smonet Smart Lock is a high-capacity biometric deadbolt with fast fingerprint recognition and IP63 weather resistance, ideal for rentals and offices. However, it requires a separate gateway purchase for remote Wi-Fi features and does not include batteries. It is best suited for users who need extensive access management and are willing to buy additional accessories.
