Lockin Unveils V7 Max Smart Lock With Optical Wireless Power at CES 2026

An infrared transmitter beams eye-safe power to keep the lock running without routine battery swaps.

Overview

  • The V7 Max uses AuraCharge to receive continuous power via an indoor optical transmitter within about four meters, which requires line of sight and pauses charging if the beam is blocked.
  • Lockin cites TÜV Rheinland and SGS safety certifications for the optical system, and the device earned a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation honor.
  • The mortise-style lock pairs triple biometrics (finger-vein, palm-vein, 3D facial recognition) with dual 5-inch touchscreens and two exterior cameras that provide video doorbell functions.
  • Matter support enables integration with Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung ecosystems, while the new LockinAI software adds scenario-based automation and searchable video indexing.
  • Preorders open around CES with outlets reporting shipping timelines in 2026 and no final retail price disclosed, and Lockin says a Veno Pro Wireless deadbolt variant will also adopt AuraCharge with pricing reported around $350.
