DESLOC’s V150 Plus self-charging solar smart lock has completed its Kickstarter campaign, the company announced. The campaign reached its initial funding goal within one hour and surpassed $100,000 within 12 hours. By the end of the campaign, the V150 Plus had raised more than 50 times its original funding goal.
As smart locks add more features, battery life and charging frequency are becoming increasingly important considerations. More homeowners are looking for worry-free smart lock experiences with less charging hassle and less day-to-day maintenance, which is the pain point the V150 Plus was designed to address.
For homeowners, battery life is more than a technical specification. A smart lock is something they rely on every day, and frequent charging or battery replacement can quickly become an inconvenience. DESLOC developed the V150 Plus around that everyday concern.
The lock combines a perovskite low-light energy-harvesting panel, a 10,000mAh battery and an intelligent power management system. Together, these technologies allow the lock to collect energy from ambient light and use it to help support everyday operation.
The V150 Plus also features 3D facial recognition, curved fingerprint recognition, built-in Wi-Fi, door-status detection and app-based remote management. The goal is to provide convenient keyless access while reducing the amount of attention users need to give to battery maintenance.
The DESLOC V150 Plus is available now for a limited-time price of $259.99, with an MSRP of $299.99.
