Digital Door Locks with Camera in Singapore
Security at your front door has evolved well beyond a deadbolt and a peephole. Digital door locks with built-in cameras give Singapore homeowners and businesses a smarter entry experience, one that combines access control with facial recognition technology in a single device. Whether you’re securing an HDB flat, a condominium, or a commercial space, a camera-equipped smart lock lets you verify identity and control access through biometric face scanning. Solity's range of digital door locks with cameras is engineered to meet that demand without compromise, built on a foundation of precise Korean technology and designed for the demands of Singapore living.
Explore Solity's top digital door locks below. Each unit is designed with a specific use case in mind, so whether fast facial recognition, hands-free access, or a multi-modal lock that supports multiple entry methods, there’s a model built for your situation.
What is a Digital Door Lock with Camera?
A digital door lock with a camera is a smart access device that uses a built-in camera primarily for facial recognition, enabling touchless, biometric entry. The lock handles access through face recognition, PIN, RFID card, fingerprint, or app-based authentication, with the camera serving as the identification layer that makes hands-free entry possible.
Every Solity camera-equipped digital lock is built around the following:
- Facial Recognition Access: The built-in camera scans and verifies your face in under a second, granting access without requiring any physical input.
- Real-Time Motion Detection: The camera activates when movement is detected, triggering an instant notification to your phone. You’re alerted to activity at your door the moment it happens.
- Night Vision: Infrared technology ensures the facial recognition camera performs accurately in low-light conditions, so access remains reliable at any hour.
- Remote Access and Monitoring: Paired with a companion app, the lock logs entry events and access history you can review at any time.
- Local Storage: Facial recognition data and access logs are stored securely on the device itself, keeping your biometric information local and protected.
Benefits of a Door Lock with Camera
A camera-equipped digital lock does not just secure your door. It gives you active, informed control over your entry point at all times. Here’s what that means in practice for every Singaporean homes:
Digital Locks with Cameras vs Those Without
A standard digital lock secures the door and manages access efficiently. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and sufficient for many homes. A camera-integrated model takes that a step further by adding facial recognition capability that makes entry faster, more secure, and entirely hands-free.
The core trade-off is functionality versus cost. Standard digital locks are generally more affordable, simpler to install, and require less ongoing maintenance. Camera models carry a higher upfront price and, and a more involved initial configuration for facial enrolment. That said, the gap in price has narrowed considerably as the technology matures.
For HDB households, condominiums, and landed properties where the main door is the primary security perimeter, facial recognition lock is a meaningful upgrade over PIN or card-based entry. If your front door is the first and only line of defence, knowing that access is controlled by biometric identity rather than a transferable credential is a practical advantage worth the additional investment.
Choosing the Right Digital Lock with Camera
The right model comes down to matching specifications to your actual situation. Here’s what to evaluate before you decide:
Choosing the Right Camera Resolution and Night Vision
The camera in a facial recognition lock needs to perform accurately across different lighting conditions and user variations. Here is what to look for:
Night vision is equally important. A facial recognition camera that cannot perform in low light has a fundamental gap in its core function.
For most Singapore homes, 1080p with infrared night vision covers the majority of use cases well. If your entry area is consistently dim or the main door opens directly to a dark common corridor, colour night vision or a model with a higher IR range is worth the consideration. Those running commercial premises or managing multiple entry points should prioritise models with the highest available sensor resolution for the most accurate and consistent facial identification.
Installing a Digital Door Lock with Camera
A digital door lock with a camera involves more than a mechanical fit. Camera alignment, wiring, and system configuration all need to be done correctly for the device to perform as intended. For HDB flats, professional installation is not just recommended, it is a compliance matter. SCDF fire code requirements restrict modifications to fire-rated main doors, and Solity's authorised installers ensure every installation meets both HDB guidelines and manufacturer specifications.
Installation costs in Singapore typically range from $80 to $150 depending on door type, lock model complexity, and whether any additional preparatory work is required. Solity digital locks come with a 3-year warranty (2+1 years) covering hardware defects, with workmanship covered under the same service umbrella.
