In a tech-savvy world, who has the time to twist the metallic key of the house lock and wait to enter inside. Smart-locks were a major attraction at the recently concluded CES 2014, which are an intelligent combination of safety and technology.
A combination of house keys and smartphone not only prevents the metallic keys scratching much-loved phone in the pocket but also reportedly unlocks the house doors, and welcomes the resident.
Founder of start-up Goji, Gabriel Bestard-Ribas has developed the smart `Goji` lock, priced at 299 dollars that senses when a resident's smartphone is near and not only unlocks a door but greets the resident by name.
According to News24, temporary digital keys of the Goji smartlock can be e-mailed to house cleaners, dog walkers, or others who may need to visit homes, restricting time-specific use.
A Kwikset Kevo lock senses when a resident's smartphone is near and then opens when the person touches what appears to be an ordinary deadbolt in a door.Those who do not want to change locks to see who is on their doorstep can install SkyBell, which is a doorbell with a twist as it has a built-in camera and syncs to Wi-Fi to stream real-time video of the visitor.
SkyBell, priced at 199 dollars, also has motion sensing and night-vision, and can transmit images even when visitors arrive in darkness.
With smartness `virtually` in one's pocket, it is hard for the bad guy to easily break in their house.
