Lockin Technology's V7 Max smart lock, which is being debuted at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, incorporates the company's AuraCharge optical-charging system. The product represents a significant technical development within the home security category as it entirely removes the requirement for conventional batteries or manual recharging.
The core innovation of the V7 Max smart lock allows it to be powered wirelessly from a distance of up to four meters using a specialized, eye-safe light beam that carries dual safety certifications. This delivers what Lockin Technology describes as perpetual and maintenance-free operation. This approach directly contrasts with existing smart locks that depend on finite battery life or ambient solar light.
The V7 Max smart lock is also equipped with sophisticated triple-biometric security using vein and facial recognition, along with integrated artificial intelligence features for scenario-based automation and video monitoring.
