A face and finger vein front-door lock for a Dubai villa or townhouse where the whole household wants to walk up and get in without a key or a phone.
The S6 Max is the lock for a household that wants to walk up to the front door and get in without reaching for a key or a phone. Face recognition handles that. A 3D infrared camera reads your face in about a second and works in the dark, so it opens on a late arrival as easily as a bright morning. Behind the face sit seven more ways in: finger vein, fingerprint, a PIN on the 4.7-inch touchscreen, an NFC card, a mechanical key, Bluetooth from the app and a temporary passcode. That range is the real point. Finger vein reads the vessel pattern under the skin rather than the surface of the fingertip, so it keeps working on the sweaty, sandy or worn hands that make an ordinary fingerprint lock fail in Dubai. Two lithium batteries share the load, a 5000mAh main cell and a 2250mAh backup, so the lock stays live while you charge or swap one. Be clear-eyed about the biometrics. Face and vein are convenient and hard to copy, and neither is beyond defeat, so we set them up alongside a PIN rather than as the only way in. Control runs through the Lockin Smart app over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It does not join Apple Home, Google or Alexa, and Lockin is its own brand, not Xiaomi Mi Home. Fitting is a full replacement on a door you own, measured before we order.

This suits a Dubai villa or townhouse front door where the family, staff and a driver all use one entrance. Finger vein is the reason it holds up here. Fine sand and hands that sweat the moment they leave the air conditioning defeat a normal fingerprint sensor, and a vein reader does not care about either. The lock is rated to 55°C, which covers a shaded front door, though we still keep the panel out of direct afternoon sun where the door allows. Face recognition reading in the dark helps on a late return. Fitting is a full replacement that works the door, so this is an owner's product. If you rent, get the landlord's written permission first, or look at a lock that sits over the existing cylinder instead. Check Wi-Fi reaches the door before ordering, since the app alerts depend on it. Lockin support here runs through a distributor rather than a showroom, so ask us about warranty and parts before you buy.
Lockin in the UAE. Sold through UAE smart home retail. Its palm-vein and finger-vein locks read blood-vessel patterns rather than a fingerprint surface, which is a class of lock most brands here do not offer.
