Lockly - Vision Elite Video Doorbell Smart Lock Deadbolt Edition - Satin Nickel

The Lockly Vision Elite is a solid choice for those wanting an integrated video doorbell and smart lock with Alexa or Google support, but its bulk and app limitations may turn off some users.

The Lockly Vision Elite Video Doorbell Smart Lock Deadbolt Edition in Satin Nickel combines a video doorbell and smart lock into one integrated unit, which is convenient for those wanting both features without separate devices. It offers solid security features like a fingerprint sensor, PIN code access, and physical key override. The video quality is decent, providing clear 1080p footage with night vision, suitable for monitoring your doorstep. However, the $499.99 price point is on the higher side compared to competitors offering similar features. One notable limitation is the bulkiness of the unit, which may not fit all door frames easily and can be tricky on older or non-standard doors. Another downside is that while it supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home, it lacks Apple HomeKit integration, which could be a dealbreaker for iPhone-centric households. Setup typically takes around 30-45 minutes for someone moderately handy, but the app interface can feel a bit clunky and less intuitive than alternatives. This product is perfect for homeowners who want an all-in-one doorbell and lock solution and are invested in Alexa or Google ecosystems. Those with tight budgets, smaller door frames, or Apple HomeKit users might want to consider other options.
