The 'Gate' home door lock enables homeowners to streamline the various security accoutrements that are required in order to keep their home safe and secure. Instead of requiring an intercom with a camera as well as a smart lock, the 'Gate' combines the functionality of all of them into one secure unit.
The 'Gate' features a discreet design aesthetic and will send a notification to the homeowner on their smartphone when motion is detected or the call button is pressed. Users can then see immediately who's at the door, speak with them directly and even grant them access, if desired. The 'Gate' lock connects to your home WiFi network and will connect to your smartphone via WiFi or 4G LTE connectivity.
The 'Gate' home door lock is currently being funded on Indiegogo .
