Palm vein recognition technology has been around for a while, but it's typically been reserved for relatively expensive smart locks. Wyze is changing that with its Palm Lock, bringing biometric palm scanning to a price point that undercuts most alternatives. The lock promises to let you unlock your door with just your palm, along with traditional methods like PIN codes and physical keys.
At $129, the Wyze Palm Lock isn't the first palm vein model on the market, but it's certainly one of the most affordable. The question is whether Wyze has managed to deliver reliable palm recognition without cutting too many corners. I tested the Palm Lock for several weeks to see if this budget-friendly biometric lock is worth considering, and how it compares to the best smart locks.
