The D2 Pro Uses Infrared Palm Vein Recognition for Keyless Home Access
The D2 Pro is a smart lock from TCL that replaces conventional access methods with palm vein recognition technology. Using infrared light, the system scans vein patterns beneath the skin to verify identity without requiring fingerprints, PIN codes, or key cards. TCL states that the lock can recognize a registered user in 0.3 seconds and incorporates liveness detection to prevent unauthorized access attempts. Recognition data is stored locally on the device, and on-device AI updates user profiles over time to improve accuracy.
The lock supports multiple access methods, including palm vein recognition, key cards, a physical key, and a keypad. Through the TCL Home app, users can register household members, manage permissions, and receive entry notifications. The D2 Pro is housed in an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy body. A Matter-compatible version supports Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant integration.
