Lockin Introduces the V7 Max: A Smart Lock Reimagined

At CES 2026, Lockin, recognized as the leading brand in vein recognition smart locks, unveiled its latest innovation: the V7 Max. This remarkable product has been awarded the CES 2026 Innovation Awards® in the Best of Innovation category, setting a new precedent in home security technology. What makes the V7 Max stand out? Its unique optical-charging technology, named AuraCharge™, is designed to provide continuous power without the need for traditional batteries.

A Beacon of Innovation: AuraCharge™ Technology

The V7 Max leverages AuraCharge™ technology to deliver rapid and efficient power wirelessly up to four meters away. With its eye-safe optical output and dual safety certifications from TÜV Rheinland and SGS, it surpasses existing market solutions that rely on batteries or solar power. Unlike competitors’ models, the V7 Max operates independently of sunlight, and owners will never have to worry about maintenance or recharging. This pioneering feature resolves one of consumers' biggest concerns: battery anxiety.

Enhanced Security Features

Further enhancing its appeal, the V7 Max integrates robust security features, including multiple biometric identifiers—finger vein, palm vein, and 3D facial recognition. To make security smarter, LockinAI® adds 10 core scenarios that can tailor user experiences, detect unauthorized access, and even manage deliveries. Bill Chen, founder and CEO of Lockin, expressed his excitement, stating, “AuraCharge™ provides an infinite power supply and eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements.”

Design and Compatibility

Designed by Hartmut Esslinger, the visionary behind Apple's iconic products, the lock features a sleek form with dual five-inch touchscreens and two high-definition outer cameras that facilitate video doorbell functions. At just 15mm, it boasts the slimmest front panel in its class. Not only does the V7 Max integrate with multiple smart home ecosystems—Google, Apple, Amazon, and Samsung—but it also does so through the Matter protocol, ensuring seamless connectivity.

The Future of Smart Locks

Lockin is not stopping at the V7 Max. They are also launching the Veno Pro Wireless, an upgraded version of their bestselling deadbolt smart lock, equipped with AuraCharge™ technology. Additionally, they will debut the solar-powered Aeon lock, which utilizes advanced perovskite solar technology to enhance energy conversion efficiency.

Available for demonstrations at the Venetian Expo (booth #52712) during CES, all three of these innovative locks will be available for preorder, with shipping expected in early 2026. Consumers can purchase Lockin's full collection of vein-scanning smart locks from Amazon and the official Lockin website.

Conclusion

As a global leader in palm vein recognition technology, Lockin is raising the bar for smart home security. With over 500 patents and numerous accolades, including the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, Lockin is poised to continue its legacy of excellence. Whether you are looking for superior security or cutting-edge design, the V7 Max and its counterparts represent an exciting leap forward in smart lock technology.
