Lockin has launched the first-ever vein-recognition smart lock powered with wireless optical charging — the V7 Max — at CES, where it received the CES 2026 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation honor. Featuring Lockin’s AuraCharge and LockinAI, the V7 Max is guaranteed to work with complete reliability regardless of weather, light, or installation location, and with zero need to recharge or replace batteries.
The V7 Max receives stable, rapid, highly efficient power wirelessly within a four-meter range, utilizing eye-safe optical output with uniform beam profile and dual safety certification from TÜV Rheinland and SGS. Lockin’s breakthrough in family-safe, wireless optical charging advances the industry into a fourth generation of power technology, eliminating the most common consumer pain point — battery anxiety.
Equipped with triple biometric security (finger vein, palm vein, and 3D facial recognition), the V7 Max also introduces LockinAI, which offers 10 core scenarios to customize user experience, prevent theft, detect and manage deliveries, index video for smart keyword search, and more.
“While third-generation power solutions like perovskite solar offer promising innovation, the technology continues to rely on adequate light to function reliably. AuraCharge requires no sunlight, no manual charging, and provides an infinite power supply,” says Bill Chen, founder and CEO of Lockin. “We’re thrilled to offer users a new level of freedom and security with a smart lock they can install once and never worry about again.”
Designed by Hartmut Esslinger, Apple’s former chief designer, the mortise smart lock features two high-definition outer cameras with panoramic view for video doorbell functionality, dual 5-inch touchscreens inside and out, and the industry’s thinnest 15mm front panel. Compatible with Google, Apple, Amazon, and Samsung smart home systems, the V7 Max integrates seamlessly via the Matter protocol.
Lockin has also announced the release of its new Veno Pro Wireless, a redesigned version of its bestselling deadbolt smart lock, the Veno Pro, which will be equipped with AuraCharge wireless charging. The collection’s latest solar-powered smart lock, the Aeon, also debuted at CES. Utilizing advanced perovskite solar technology, it offers a significant improvement in energy conversion efficiency compared to traditional solar panels and can even recharge using light from overcast skies.
All three smart locks will be available for preorder following CES with shipping in early 2026. Lockin’s entire collection of vein-scanning smart locks are available for purchase via Amazon and lockin.com.
