eufy FamiLock S3 Smart Lock With Palm Vein Recognition - Keyless Entry Door Lock for Front Door, 3-in-1 Wi-Fi Keypad Deadbolt+ 2K HDR Camera+ Doorbell, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, Motion Sensor, No Monthly Fee

The eufy FamiLock S3 has been a huge upgrade for me, especially after returning the Lockin Veno. Assembly was surprisingly simple and frustration-free. Everything fit together intuitively, and the instructions were clear enough that I had the lock fully installed and running in far less time than I expected. What really sets the FamiLock S3 apart from the Veno is the feature set. The responsiveness of the fingerprint reader, the smoothness of the touchscreen, and the overall build quality all feel a step above. The app integration is cleaner too, with faster updates and more reliable notifications. After dealing with connection hiccups and slower response times on the Veno, this lock feels like a breath of fresh air. Another big draw for me was eufy’s strong security reputation. Their focus on privacy and local data processing gave me a lot more confidence in choosing a smart lock that would actually protect my home without sending data who-knows-where. It’s reassuring to know the company behind the product takes security seriously. Overall, the FamiLock S3 has been easy to set up, easy to use, and packed with thoughtful improvements over the lock it replaced. I’m genuinely glad I made the switch.

Impressed with all the options and features. UI Is a bit confusing tho and I do agree that the hands/vein technology is difficult to get to work. I’m gonna try creating multiple versions of my hands to see if that’ll improve things like I’ve done with the thumbprint one. Actually wishing I had the fingerprint one still. The video mechanism works great and you can choose different lengths to film, which I really like. I did feel that the battery could’ve lasted a bit longer. It lasted about a month before it needed recharging them but the four AA batteries held fine while it was being charged. This was with a lot of people coming in and out though. Np installing to door (although had my handyman do it). NOTE: after putting it together it will have u press a button in the back wheee the battery is and if u already put the cover on np bc it’s super easy to take off. I did have to try connecting a couple of times. If you have issues with this part and it talks about router settings go to your Internet provider settings online or app and change signal to 2.4 only from dual band (2.4 and 5.0) temporarily and then u won’t have a problem.

Love this lock. It’s so convenient! We’ve been using it for almost a year. Works great. The camera is nice and crisp. The field of view is great. Battery charge holds up good. Easy to install and operate. Autolock - great feature! We have a cheaper model on our interior garage door. Love this brand.

Replaced our fingerprint-reducing Eufy smart lock. I LOVE the palm reading feature (so much easier, and more reliable than the fingerprint reader, which was causing me grief after 2 years, as it kept failing to recognize my fingerprints). But this new smart lock is amazing, and the palm reading feature seems to work without any problems (knock on wood). Things that I especially like about this: 1. No need to touch the lock (like with the fingerprint reader) 2. The Black color looks much sleeker than the old silver-toned lock we had…PLUS, the black color makes reading the back-lit number pad SO much easier to read (our old lock was silver, with white numbers, and even being back-lit, it was next to impossible to see the numbers, especially in bright sunlight). 3. Love the locks integrated camera & doorbell (allowing us to remove our separate Eufy doorbell camera, which was starting to get annoying in terms of needing to charge it every 6 weeks or so). 4. The doorbell button is easy to recognize - it lights up and has a small bell icon on it (believe it or not, with the basic Eufy doorbell camera, the design is such that the camera lens and the doorbell button are both about the same size and shape, and the button wasn’t marked or labeled — and I can’t tell you how MANY times people came to our door, thought they were ringing the doorbell, but were really smashing their thumb onto the round camera lens! — mademfor funny videos, but not a very effective doorbell if people don’t know where to press) 5. A HUGE added benefit of this model is the long battery life, PLUS the back-up AA batteries that function if the main battery dies (unlikely if you’re paying the slightest attention to your Eufy app)…but more importantly, the AA batteries work while the main battery is being re-charged (so you don’t have to leave your door unlocked all day, like we had to do with the old Eufy lock, because we needed to be able to have people come and go). Overall, I truly LOVE this smart lock, and I expect to get many years of enjoyable use out of it (again, knock on wood!)

So far I’m very impressed and it’s a very good product. The App was easy to setup . I had a bit of a problem with the key unlocking door but I think I got it sorted out. I haven’t set up the the palm entry yet, but soon I love the fact that it comes with a rechargeable battery and has a backup as well. I highly recommend this Lock.
