Wyze’s new door lock has speedy fingerprint recognition and 12-month battery life

Wyze has recently released its new smart lock, the "Lever Lock," designed for standard single-bore latch doors. Priced at $99.98, this device offers a 12-month battery life and advanced features such as fingerprint recognition and PIN entry. The fingerprint sensor can identify a user's fingerprint in approximately half a second.

Local storage keeps biometric data secure, and the system improves its accuracy with each successful unlock. A clever PIN feature allows users to input random digits before or after their actual code, safeguarding against onlookers. As a safety measure, the lock also includes a physical key backup. The Wyze Lever Lock utilizes eight AA batteries and comes with a USB-C input for charging.

Available for immediate shipping, the lock provides an accessible and affordable smart-lock solution for homeowners seeking to enhance their home security.
