Beyond smart refrigerators and air conditioners, Prism+ is officially venturing further into the smart home space with its new Sentinel and Sentry digital locks. Launched at Comex 2024, it also marks the homegrown brand’s first foray into the home security market.
Aimed at the local market with the usual Prism+’s “affordability” business model, the Sentinel Door Lock and Sentry Gate Lock come in Standard and Pro models. The Standard versions offer four unlocking methods — card, app, fingerprint, and keypad — while the Pro models add 3D facial recognition to the mix. With prices starting at $699 for the Sentinel and $379 for the Sentry, the entry point seems reasonably accessible for those looking to upgrade their home security setup.
Prism+ is also sweetening the deal with some extra goodies. Every digital lock purchase comes with a free Wi-Fi Gateway and a Digital Letterbox Lock. For customers opting for a bundle, priced at $899 for the Standard Bundle and $999 for the Pro Bundle, Prism+ is also throwing in a free Video Doorbell.
But what intrigues me is the digital locks’ DuoSync functionality, which allows you to unlock both the door and gate in one go – a convenient feature that meant you didn’t need to input two passcodes to get back into your house. Prism+ also claims the locks are made from aerospace-grade aluminium, with a sleek, unibody design that’s supposedly sturdy. And, for those concerned about safety, the Sentinel series meets Singapore’s SS332 fire-rating standard.
These new locks are also designed to integrate with the broader Prism+ ecosystem. Through the Prism+ Connect App, you can remotely manage not just the digital locks, but also other Prism+ smart home products, creating a more unified smart home experience. The app also allows you to unlock doors remotely.
