The future of home security is here with the new Ultraloq smart lock, offering a unique and innovative approach to access control. But here's where it gets controversial... This cutting-edge device uses both facial recognition and palm vein authentication, ensuring a touch-free entry without the need for an app. While palm scanning might be new to the consumer market, Xthings claims it's more reliable than fingerprint scanning, as it reads the vein pattern under your skin, unaffected by wet or dirty hands. And the best part? It works in complete darkness, thanks to its near-infrared light technology. But wait, there's more! Xthings is also introducing the Latch 7 Pro, which supports Matter-over-Thread and Aliro, and the Ulticam IQ V2, the first camera with Matter support. Now, the real game-changer is the Ulticam HaLow, one of the first security cameras to support Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah), offering greater range and wall penetration. However, it comes with a trade-off in terms of bandwidth. And for those seeking crystal-clear video, the Ulticam IQ Floodlight pairs its AI-enabled camera with 2,000-lumen floodlights, but with a reduced range. So, what do you think? Is this the future of smart home security, or is there a catch you're missing? Share your thoughts and join the discussion!
