While some smart locks can be costly, you can still get a functional yet aesthetically pleasing model for a fair price if you know where to look. Enter the Eazea C600 digital smart lock, which comes equipped with five different access methods, including PIN codes, RFID tags, remote Bluetooth access via an app, and even an optional sixth option, which uses Wi-Fi connectivity for contactless access. The C600 features a sleek, modern, minimalist design in a cool metallic black for a polished look, as well as an easy-to-use push-pull handle that operates like a traditional door handle. It is made from robust materials that give it substantial durability that will last a long time.

The C600’s access methods are easy to get used to and include a bright LED keypad for entering your PIN while using a fake PIN function to mask your true PIN code from prying eyes. Alternatively, you can use the included RFID cards to quickly access your property or use its Bluetooth connectivity to pair with the TTLock app, allowing you to remotely disengage the lock via the app (as long as you are within 32.8 feet of the lock). If you opt for the optional Wi-Fi connectivity, you can also use the TTLock app to disengage the lock and check its access record history from the convenience of your smartphone.

The C600 is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can last five to six months on a single charge. You can quickly recharge it anytime via a Micro USB cable connected to a power bank or power outlet, making it easy to keep your smart lock powered regularly. Even with insufficient power, the C600 comes with an emergency key, which you can use to disengage the lock during an emergency. For added convenience, the C600 also features a built-in low-battery alarm that lets you know when the lock needs a recharge.

At only SGD 599 (SGD 699 with Wi-Fi connectivity), you get a well-rounded smart lock that provides the most basic but essential functions to safeguard your property at all times.

Do you need a smart lock for your front gate door as well? The C300-G is the perfect fit for locking your front gate door and can pair nicely with another smart lock mounted on the front door. Despite its smaller dimensions compared to the C600, the C300-G still provides five different access methods found on the C600 and includes a portable remote and the optional Wi-Fi connectivity add-on.

Its smaller size and thinner profile make it an excellent pick for virtually any type of front gate and will not get in the way of your front door’s smart lock. Given its smart integrations, including its ability to connect to the TTLock app, you can easily manage two different smart locks from one smartphone, making it much more convenient to secure your property.

Unlike the C600, the C300-G is powered by four AA batteries, which give it a lifespan of five to six months. However, it still incorporates an emergency charging system via Micro USB, allowing you to recharge it effortlessly when needed.

This midrange Philips model comes equipped with a host of valuable security features, including five access methods (one of which is optional Wi-Fi connectivity for remote app access), an auto-locking function, and a voice guide that makes setting up and operating your smart lock much easier. The auto-lock function is a notable feature that gives you peace of mind thanks to its ability to engage the lock when the door closes, allowing you to go out without worrying about your property’s safety.

The EasyKey 7300 also features a unique digital smile indicator that indicates the lock’s current status, with green indicating the door is open and red denoting that the lock is engaged. It provides an easy way to keep track of your smart lock’s status just before you head out. You can also use the Philips EasyKey app to engage the lock, track access logs, and even generate temporary PIN codes for guests. The smart integrations of the EasyKey app make for a robust smart lock that will do an excellent job of securing your safety.

In addition, the EasyKey 7300 comes equipped with various built-in alarms that warn of any potential tampering or abnormal activity that the lock detects, giving you an additional layer of security that will deter would-be burglars. As for power requirements, it takes four AA batteries, which gives it a lifespan of approximately ten months; you can use the emergency charging system that supports a 5V power bank when the batteries run dry after you hear the low battery alert ring.

The Samsung SHP-DP609 model features five access methods (including optional Wi-Fi connectivity) and a durable push-pull frame in luxurious gold or silver trims that suit your property’s colour theme. Much like the EasyKey 7300, Samsung’s smart lock model offers many handy features to enhance your property’s security, including remote app access, a built-in smart bell that sends a notification to your smartphone when a visitor presses the lock’s bell button, and a handy voice guide system for assistance with managing or troubleshooting the lock. This smart lock model also has built-in alarms that warn you of attempted intrusions and abnormally high temperatures, which kick in when surrounding temperatures exceed 70°C ± 10°C.

Apart from allowing you to view access logs, the remote app also enables using one-time or timed duration passcodes whenever guests or other persons come over. The former is ideal if you have a guest staying over for a short time, while the latter is perfect if you have a regularly scheduled person who comes over for various reasons, such as a housekeeper. These temporary measures ensure you maintain complete control of your property’s security only to select people at select times and dates. If others who also use the app (linked to your smart lock) accidentally lose their smartphone, you can quickly remove their device from the list of trusted users to prevent unwanted entry to your property.

For power, the SHP-DP609 also requires four AA batteries with a lifespan of 5 to 6 months. It also has a handy emergency charging system that supports a standard power bank for recharging when the smart lock runs out of battery life.

The Midea BF550 also has five access methods encased in a slender, modern design, but its main point of security interest is its 3D + AI facial recognition camera, specially designed to detect and recognise your facial patterns and disengage the lock if the scan results matches its saved entry. This revolutionary addition provides a hands-free smart lock experience where a quick scan will automatically unlock the door for you: no need to type in your PIN or wave an RFID tag. On the other hand, a digital cat’s eye screen enables you to use that same camera as a peephole, allowing you to see who is outside your door.

Where most built-in cameras only allow you to see what is in front of the door, the wide-angle lens of the BF550’s camera gives you a wider point of view to provide more information about who is outside and whether others are with them. Meanwhile, the digital cat’s eye’s automatic day/night light fill-in feature gives you a clear view of visitors even at night, making identification much easier. Power-wise, the BF550 relies on a 7.4 lithium-ion battery with a type-C USB charging port for emergencies, giving you a 3-month lifespan on a single charge. While not as lengthy as its competitors, the advanced facial recognition feature does make up for that shorter general lifespan.

Need more reasons to own a BF550? It also comes with a child safety lock to prevent unauthorised entry or exit by young children, and an accompanying emergency unlock knob to ensure they cannot disengage the lock on their own. That makes it perfect if you have children within your property and want to ensure they stay indoors at all times.
