Xthings Inc., the company behind ULTRALOQ, has announced a new smart lock system that uses proximity sensing and updated biometric features. The company says this system is different from past versions because it can work with almost any door lock, and it aims to make access more simple for both homes and businesses. According to the announcement, the goal is to let people unlock doors just by approaching them, without needing to pull out a phone or touch a keypad.
The new smart lock system uses proximity sensors that can detect when someone with the right permission is nearby. This means a person can keep their phone or key fob in a pocket or bag, and the door will unlock when they get close enough. The system also uses biometric options, such as palm vein scanning and facial recognition, to give another way to confirm the user’s identity. These features are built to help prevent unwanted access and give property owners more control over who can enter.
Xthings says the system is made to be easy to install and is built to work with a wide range of locks, not just special models. This focus on universal compatibility may help people who do not want to change their current door hardware. The company has also made the system able to connect with other smart home devices, which could let users set up routines or check access logs from their phones.
The company points out that the new smart lock can be used in different types of buildings, such as homes, offices, and rental properties. Business owners can use the system to allow or block access for workers at certain times, and homeowners can let family and friends in without having to hand out spare keys. The system can be adjusted through an app, which also gives notifications and lets users see who has entered or left the property.
By adding proximity sensing and updated biometrics, Xthings is offering another choice to people interested in smart home security. The company says these changes are meant to make daily life easier and offer more peace of mind. The system is now available for those who want to upgrade their current door locks without a lot of changes to their existing setup.
