TCL has announced a new home security product called the D2 Pro Palm Vein Smart Lock. This device uses palm vein recognition to let people unlock their doors. It can unlock in about 0.3 seconds, which means people can get into their homes quickly without using a key, code, or fingerprint. TCL says this lock offers a secure way to enter the home, since palm vein patterns are hard to copy or fake.
The D2 Pro Palm Vein Smart Lock works by reading the unique pattern of veins inside the palm. The company explains that this method is less likely to be fooled by photos, videos, or other tricks that can sometimes get past face or fingerprint locks. To use it, a person holds their palm above the sensor. The lock then checks if the vein pattern matches someone who is allowed to enter. TCL says the lock responds in about a third of a second.
Besides palm vein recognition, the lock also offers other ways to unlock the door. People can still use a keypad code, a fingerprint, or a smartphone app if they want to. The lock can be set up to work with smart home systems, and it lets users check lock status and get alerts on their phones. TCL says the lock is made with a sturdy metal shell and is designed to be tough against tampering.
The company points out that the D2 Pro Palm Vein Smart Lock aims to stop some common problems with home entry. For example, people do not have to worry about losing keys or someone finding out their keypad code. The palm vein scan only works if the person is really there, so it is harder for someone to break in by copying a fingerprint or using fake photos. TCL also claims the lock can keep working in different weather conditions, and the battery is made to last a long time.
TCL is offering the D2 Pro Palm Vein Smart Lock as a new option for people who want a different way to secure their homes. The product will be available in stores and online. TCL plans to keep adding products like this to its smart home lineup. The company says it wants to make home security easier and safer for more people.
