Get ready for a revolutionary smart lock experience! The Ultraloq Bolt Sense is here to change the way you secure your home. But here's what sets it apart: it recognizes your face AND scans your palm veins for access, all without needing an app! A touch-free, highly secure entry system? Now that's intriguing!
Xthings is bringing a range of exciting products to CES, but the Bolt Sense steals the show. With its compact design, it offers a unique blend of facial recognition and palm vein authentication. And here's where it gets controversial: Xthings claims palm scanning is more reliable than fingerprints, as it reads your unique vein pattern, even if your hands are wet or dirty. But is this truly the future of secure access? You decide!
The Bolt Sense is packed with features, including built-in Wi-Fi and planned Matter support. However, it's not shipping until Q2, leaving room for anticipation. Meanwhile, the Latch 7 Pro, due in Q1, offers Matter-over-Thread and Aliro support, but without the fancy palm-reading tech.
CES will also showcase the Ulticam IQ V2, Xthings' first camera with Matter support. But the real star is the Ulticam HaLow, a security camera with Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) for extended range and wall penetration. Imagine a camera with a potential range of 0.6 miles! But there's a catch: HaLow trades bandwidth for range. Xthings provides a dedicated hub to ensure a seamless experience, addressing the challenges of this less-adopted technology.
For those prioritizing video clarity, the Ulticam IQ Floodlight is a dream come true. It combines AI-powered security with 2,000-lumen floodlights for crystal-clear footage, even in the darkest nights. However, the standard Wi-Fi range is not as impressive as the HaLow model.
Xthings is pushing boundaries with these innovative products. But will they live up to the hype? What do you think about palm vein authentication as the future of secure access? Share your thoughts and stay tuned for more exciting tech updates!
