Home Tech Gadgets at CES 2025 Impressed More Than Last Year

Much home security tech is focused on the front door. At CES 2025, we saw home security companies make plans to combine it all into one device. The result? Smart video locks from brands like Lockly and TCL that do a little of everything.

These locks monitor door access and allow for keypad passes, fingerprints or even Apple Home Keys like the best smart locks around. But, like the best video doorbells, the locks also have high-resolution cameras that can detect people, send alerts to your phone and enable two-way communication from apps. And instead of connecting a third-party screen, they have built-in displays on the lock so you can see who is approaching the door, without the need for a peephole or other devices.

Lockly’s Vision Prestige is a particular standout here with its touchscreen keypad and Apple compatibility, but when it arrives later this year you’ll have to dish out $500 for this all-in-one security tech.
