The new iteration of the company’s biometric smart lock is currently available for backing on Kickstarter, where it has already raised more than $900,000 in funding (against the original goal of $50,000) with nearly a month remaining. Nearly all of 3,500 backers pledging their support so far have pre-ordered the Video Smart Lock.
The 3-in-1 biometric solution comes with a built-in fingerprint reader, two 2K cameras, dual motion detection, and a microphone.Biometric locks were already driving the growth of the U.S. smart home market in the first half of 2021.

Since then, a number of companies in the biometric space have ramped up their efforts in this slice of the security industry.

For instance, in September 2021 Fingerprint Cards (FPC) partnered with Ekey to release the dLine door access system that integrates a touch sensor from FPC. Just a month later, Xiaomi released the Smart Door Lock X, which integrated a dedicated chip to store facial recognition data locally (as opposed to in the cloud). And in December 2021, Securam launched a finger biometric-powered remote lock solution with AES 128-bit encryption capabilities.
Eufy Security hopes to gain an edge on the growing market with new features and notifications. The fingerprint sensor can reportedly identify a pre-registered user in roughly 0.3s and comes with self-learning capabilities to improve recognition speed further. The sensor is also weather-resistant (IP65 rating).

The smart lock’s computer vision features are powered by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for human, pet, and vehicle detection, and can also issue warnings for loitering detection. AI Mode can also be tweaked via a smartphone app to make the device notify users according to exact specifications, and the lock integrates with digital assistant platforms.
How long can fingerprint door locks last?
The lifespan of a fingerprint lock varies by brand, usage, etc. However, on average, fingerprint locks can last up to 2 years before showing signs of wear.
But do not worry. Some fingerprint locks can last longer, also depending on your budget. Inexpensive fingerprint locks are unlikely to last long, so if you're looking to buy a more durable one, you may need to stretch your budget.
As mentioned earlier, usage also determines how long your lock will last before you consider replacing it. If the lock is used on a high traffic commercial door, the service life may be significantly reduced. Additionally, regular maintenance can help prolong the life of the door lock.
