Smart Door Locks

A smart door lock is an electronic lock that opens the door with authentication methods such as face recognition, fingerprint, password, card or mobile app instead of a mechanical key. It is used on apartment, villa and office entrance doors to enter without carrying a key, to assign separate access rights to family members or employees, and, on models with a camera, to see who is at the door. This category includes the Cata CT-4040 smart door lock with camera; the model is listed with 3D face recognition, an HD display and IP20 protection rating. Choose the lock according to your door's type and thickness, its compatibility with the existing mortise lock body, the opening methods it supports, and how the door will be opened when the battery runs out or the supply is cut. Because the IP20 rating includes no protection against water, a higher IP rating is sought for garden and exterior doors exposed to rain. A smart lock manages the lock of the door it is fitted to; it should not be confused with an intercom and door automation that open the building entrance door remotely.
