The Lockin Veno smart lock series includes the ability to unlock doors using vein pattern recognition, increasing accuracy while greatly reducing the chance of home intrusions due to duplicated fingerprints or PIN numbers.

Lockin has launched the Veno smart lock series with Venokey palm vein pattern recognition, which allows home owners to unlock their doors in 0.17 seconds with 99.9% accuracy. Vein patterns are significantly harder to replicate compared to fingerprints, and the touchless Venokey technology prevents thieves from seeing typed PIN numbers. The series includes the $379.99 Veno Pro (sold here on Amazon) and the $299.99 Veno Plus (sold here on Amazon).

The Veno Plus uses Venokey palm vein recognition as the primary method to unlock it, and fingerprint recognition and PIN code as the secondary methods. Both can be unlocked using a backup physical key. The locks can be powered continuously by an optional solar panel kit, which mounts on the front of doors.

A 180-degree camera provides head-to-toe views of visitors from as close as 10 cm (3.9 in.), helping ensure suspicious activities are captured. Millimeter-wave radar and PIR sensors are used to detect approaching guests to begin recording, and the Veno Pro adds LockinAI video processing to aid detection of humans, packages, and vehicles.

The Venos automatically lock the door when fully closed, simplifying security. Alerts are sent after 20 seconds when doors are not properly closed. All alerts and live camera feeds are accessible from the free smartphone app, which does not require a subscription.

The locks support Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings smart home systems for remote voice control and two-way intercom conversations with visitors. Matter over Thread is also supported for smart homes that utilize this system. The Venos are IP65-rated against dust and water intrusion and are temperature-rated for -22° F to 158° F (-30° C to 70° C).

Venokey™ × LockinCam™ × LockinAI™: Three Technologies, One Ultimate Protection

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockin, the global leader in vein recognition technology, continues to redefine smart security with the Veno series smart locks. Holding the TOP 1 position worldwide in the vein smart lock industry, Lockin has amassed over 500 core technology patents and received prestigious accolades, including the Red Dot Design Award and iF Design Award. Designed to provide seamless access, intelligent surveillance, and AI-powered protection, the Veno series introduces Veno Pro, the flagship security model, and Veno Plus, a streamlined, cost-effective alternative. 

Lockin Veno Pro

Both models utilize Venokey™ Palm Vein Recognition, delivering fast, touch-free, and fail-proof unlocking in just 0.17 seconds with 99.9% accuracy, certified by TÜV Rheinland. Beyond biometric precision, Venokey™ is enhanced by 60GHz radar sensing technology, which detects user approach in advance, activating the system for a seamless, hands-free unlocking experience. Whether arriving home with hands full or in a hurry, users can enjoy effortless, intuitive entry without any unnecessary delays. At the same time, Venokey™ provides a truly contactless experience, working effortlessly in all conditions, including wet or dry hands and long nails, ensuring that every unlocking moment is quick, secure, and frustration-free.


Security is not just about access but also about awareness. LockinCam™ 180° Head to Toe ultra-wide 2K camera ensures the widest coverage on the market, capturing everything from 10 cm outside the door and beyond(1). This feature significantly reduces blind spots and allows users to monitor package deliveries placed at the entrance—three times closer than other locks. Equipped with infrared fill light, it ensures clear imaging even in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility for improved home security.

Enhancing this protection, LockinAI™ utilizes local AI algorithms for quick target recognition, providing security alerts within 3-5 seconds(2). Unlike systems that rely on cloud processing, LockinAI™ ensures instant, real-time notifications while enhancing privacy, without requiring additional purchases like an AI hub or a cloud subscription. Veno Pro incorporates LockinAI™ with intelligent object recognition, distinguishing between people, packages, and vehicles, while Veno Plus offers fundamental motion detection with dual-sensor technology (60GHz mmWave radar + PIR sensor) for reliable security alerts.

Beyond detection, the Veno series delivers comprehensive security features, including smart auto-lock, anti-tamper detection, an anti-peep password system, vacation mode, and local data processing. This ensures continuous protection while prioritizing user privacy, eliminating reliance on cloud storage.

Designed for seamless integration with modern smart homes, both Veno Pro and Veno Plus support Matter over Thread, ensuring faster, more reliable, and energy-efficient connectivity. Users can effortlessly connect their locks with Apple Home, enabling voice control, remote access management, and automated security settings. The Lockin Smart App allows users to control access, manage security settings, and monitor real-time footage, all with zero subscription fees. With 32GB built-in storage, Veno Pro eliminates the need for extra SD cards, additional hubs, or cloud-based services, saving users up to $500 over five years(3). Veno Plus also has 8GB built-in storage

Battery performance is optimized through advanced low-power technology, ensuring up to three months of battery life on a single charge. This eliminates concerns about frequent charging while maintaining stable performance in any home environment. Additionally, both models support high-efficiency, plug-and-play solar panels, providing a reliable, eco-friendly power solution with minimal maintenance, even in areas with limited sunlight.

Durability is a key aspect of the Veno series, with Veno Pro featuring an IP65-rated tempered glass panel, BHMA Grade 2 certification, and anti-interference technology, ensuring reliable performance in extreme weather conditions. Veno Plus, with an IP53 rating and BHMA Grade 3 certification, offers solid durability for standard home environments, delivering long-lasting protection. The mechanical structure of Veno Pro and Veno Plus is tested to last up to 10 years, reinforcing Lockin's commitment to long-term security.

Installation is designed to be effortless, requiring only 15 minutes, one person, and a single screwdriver. With its intuitive setup, the Veno series ensures a seamless transition to smart security without professional assistance.

Veno Pro stands out as an all-in-one security solution, combining Venokey™ for seamless biometric access, LockinCam™ for intelligent surveillance, and LockinAI™ for real-time motion detection. By integrating these advanced features into a single device, Veno Pro eliminates the need for separate door locks, security cameras, video doorbells, and local AI processing hubs, offering a comprehensive, proactive security system.

For those seeking a versatile and cost-effective choice, Veno Plus provides the core benefits of a smart lock with built-in video monitoring and essential motion detection, making it an excellent option for users who value simplicity, security, and convenience without unnecessary extras.
