Wyze Bolt
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Schlage BE365 CAM Camelot (Aged Bronze) is a robust, non-smart keypad deadbolt with Grade 2 security and exceptional battery life. It lacks auto-locking and smart home connectivity, making it less suitable for tech-focused users. It is ideal for families needing shared access codes without physical keys.
The Wyze Lock Bolt is a smart deadbolt available in a Bluetooth-only original model and a Wi-Fi enabled V2 variant, designed to replace existing deadbolts without wiring. It features fingerprint recognition, a backlit keypad, and app-based access sharing, with the V2 adding remote control capabilities and BHMA Grade 2 certification. Best suited for covered exterior doors and users needing remote management for vacation homes or contractors via the V2 model.
