If you're considering upgrading your home security, here's everything you need to know about the Zeno Series and whether it's right for you.

 

What is the Lockly Zeno Series?

The Zeno Series is Lockly's premium smart lock collection featuring four distinct models: PIN Genie Pro, Secure Pro, Lockly Visage, and Lockly Vision. Each model builds upon our core security technology while offering unique features tailored to different needs and preferences.

 

4 Key Features Across All Zeno Series Models

  1. Apple Home Keys Integration: Unlock your door with your iPhone, Apple Watch, or Siri voice commands. Your smartphone becomes your key, eliminating the need for physical keys in daily use.
  2. PIN Genie® Digital Keypad: Our patented technology randomly shuffles PIN numbers on the keypad, preventing strangers from guessing your code based on fingerprint patterns or observation.
  3. Built-in Wi-Fi: Remote access and real-time notifications come standard, letting you control your lock from anywhere without additional hubs (except our Vision model, which includes the Vision Connect Hub).
  4. 3D Biometric Fingerprint Scanner: Available on Secure Pro, Visage, and Vision models, our AI-learning fingerprint sensor recognizes your print in just 0.2 seconds with up to 99.8% accuracy.
