Lockly Secure Plus
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Lockly Secure Plus is a high-security smart lock featuring a patented PIN Genie keypad and lightning-fast 3D fingerprint sensor. Its main trade-off is the need for a separate hub for full remote WiFi capabilities and a potentially complex initial setup. It is best suited for families, rental properties, and elderly users requiring advanced security and accessibility features.
The Schlage Connect Camelot is a robust, BHMA-certified smart deadbolt ideal for Z-Wave ecosystem users. It offers professional-grade security with a built-in alarm but lacks auto-lock and requires a separate hub. It is best suited for homeowners seeking reliable, enterprise-grade protection for their residential doors.
