The Lockly Vision Elite is the most complete single device on this list: a deadbolt and a video doorbell in one. The exterior unit has a Full HD camera with intercom, night vision and a motion sensor, a 3D fingerprint sensor that Lockly says recognizes a finger in 0.3 seconds and stores up to 99 prints, and the PIN Genie keypad, which shuffles where digits appear so smudges do not give a code away. Lockly quotes up to 13 months per charge from its rechargeable batteries, two of which are included, and a solar panel helps keep them topped up. The included Vision Connect Hub links it to the network, and it works with Alexa and Google Assistant. Lockly says there is no monthly fee. At $499.99 it is the priciest pick, the unit is large, and Lockly lists no Apple home keys or Siri support. We compared documented features and published prices.
