My Review 

The Dead Bolt Smart Lock Finishing looks  Glossy and Presentable , referring externally people might think it is an expensive lock. But when you flip inside , the internal  in built  structure might have rooms for improvements .like using more quality finishing and a  metal built nob  instead of a plastic nob. Functionality wise, the Smart Lock can be open in few modes, (1) Finger Print (2) Pass Code (3) Smart Tag (4) Physical Key , for this kind  of pricing  ,personally i gave it a thumbs up.

In Conclusion , if you are looking for a Cool Smart Lock  , and not considering forking out 2 Hundred plus for it , this lock will be a good Choice
