Lockly is responsible for some of the most futuristic smart locks on the market, and that legacy continues with the newly revealed Zeno Series. Comprised of four different smart locks, the series is built around slimmer designs, advanced functionality, and compatibility with a wide range of other smart devices.

The Lockly Visage Zeno Series and Lockly Vision Zeno Series are the most intriguing of the bunch, carrying price tags of $349 and $429, respectively. The Visage featuresmultiple access methods, including a fingerprint scanner, support for Apple Home Keys, passcodes, and facial recognition. That last one is a big addition to the world of smart locks, allowing the door to detect, scan, and unlock without the need for you to press any buttons.

The Lockly Vision does much the same, though it’s paired with a built-in video doorbell that captures 2K footage and supports two-way audio.

While Visage and Vision make big innovations to the standard smart lock format, the two other products in the Zeno Series aren’t quite as exciting — though they’re offered at lower prices.

The Secure Pro Zeno Series is $329 and the PIN Genie Pro Zeno Series is $229, putting it closer in price to the popular Yale Assure Lock 2 (which, depending on your model, costs around $250). The Secure Pro features a fingerprint scanner alongside a physical keyhole and keypad, while the PIN Genie Pro loses the fingerprint scanner.

Regardless of which you pick, all smart locks in the Zeno Series play nicely with Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. You’ll also get remote access to your lock via a companion mobile app. This lets you program in temporary access codes and monitor other settings.

If you’re currently using a Lockly product, upgrading should be simple. The new smart locks are designed so you won’t need to make any additional door modifications and can transfer settings from your old device to the new one.

All four Zeno smart locks are now available at Home Depot and Lockly.com. For alternatives, be sure to check out our roundup of the best smart locks.

Your Google TV can now control smart home devices
The Home Panel on Google TV Streamer.

In late September, Google announced a new feature for Google TV called the Home Panel that would make it easier to control all of your (compatible) smart home devices from a single location. The feature first appeared on the Google TV Streamer and then later on Chromecast, but it has now rolled out to Google TVs from other companies including Hisense, TCL, and others.

The Home Panel offers a lot of utility. It shows your lights' current brightness level, the volume level of speakers, and even live streams from security cameras. The demo video Google has on its blog shows that the user can even adjust the thermostat. All of this is done through the remote, so you don't even have to get up off the couch.

SimpliSafe launches AI-powered detection system alongside the new Outdoor Security Camera Series 2
The SimpliSafe Outdoor Security Camera Series 2 mounted outside.

After spending some time in early access, SimpliSafe’s Active Guard Outdoor Protection feature is now available to the public. Using AI technology in conjunction with its team of security experts, Active Guard Outdoor Protection is designed to detect and stop crime before it happens. It’s available on the new Outdoor Security Camera Series 2, though you’ll need to enroll in a monthly membership to get full use of the service.

SimpliSafe isn’t new to the world of AI-powered crime prevention, as you’ll already find a similar feature on the Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Camera. That functionality is great -- but if an indoor camera is picking up intruders, it means they’ve already made it inside your home. The Outdoor Security Camera Series 2 and Active Guard Outdoor Protection are looking to fix that, as the system can react to threats and alert SimpliSafe agents within 30 seconds of catching a motion event.

The Wired Floodlight Camera is the latest smart home security gadget from Arlo. It builds off the existing Arlo Pro 3 Wireless Floodlight Camera, offering many of the same features, but boasting a new wired design that provides constant power -- ensuring you never miss a motion event because of dead batteries.

Unlike some cameras that only capture 1080p video, the Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera captures 2K footage. The enhanced resolution makes it easier to pick out details in your motion events and zoom in with higher clarity. Coupled with HDR and color night vision, you should get crisp images at all times of day. You’ll also find articulating floodlights flanking both sides of the camera that can be easily maneuvered to illuminate most areas of your yard.
