Las Vegas, NV, January 4, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lockin, the world’s best-selling vein recognition smart lock brand, today announced at CES the launch of the first-ever vein recognition smart lock with wireless optical charging – the V7 Max – where it received the CES 2026 Innovation Awards® Best of Innovation honor. With Lockin’s revolutionary AuraCharge™ and LockinAI®, the V7 Max is guaranteed to operate with complete reliability regardless of weather, light or installation location, with no need to charge or replace batteries.
The V7 Max wirelessly receives stable, fast, high-efficiency power within a range of four meters, using eye-safe optical output with a uniform beam profile and dual safety certification from TÜV Rheinland and SGS. Competitors’ smart locks rely on disposable cells, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and solar energy, and are therefore limited by limited endurance, frequent maintenance and light dependence. Lockin’s breakthrough in family-safe, wireless optical charging moves the industry into a fourth-generation energy technology, eliminating the most common pain point for consumers: 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 the user experience, prevent theft, detect and manage deliveries, index video for smart keyword search, and more.
“While third-generation power solutions such as perovskite solar offer promising innovation, the technology remains dependent on sufficient light to function reliably. AuraCharge™ requires no sunlight, no manual charging and provides an infinite power supply,” said Bill Chen, founder and CEO of Lockin. “We’re excited to offer users a new level of freedom and security with a smart lock they can install once and never have to worry about again.”
Masterfully designed by former Apple chief designer Hartmut Esslinger, the sleek smart mortise lock features dual high-definition outdoor cameras with panoramic view for video doorbell functionality, dual
5-inch touchscreens inside and out, and the thinnest 15mm front panel in the industry. Compatible with Google, Apple, Amazon and Samsung smart home systems, the V7 Max integrates seamlessly via the Matter protocol without the need for additional hubs
Lockin has also announced the release of its new Veno Pro Wireless, a redesigned version of its best-selling smart deadbolt, the Veno Prowhich will be equipped with AuraCharge wireless charging. The collection’s newest solar-powered smart lock, the Aeon, will also debut at CES. Using advanced perovskite solar technology, it offers a significant improvement in energy conversion efficiency compared to traditional solar panels, and can even charge using light from cloudy skies.
The V7 Max will be available for live demos at Lockin’s exhibit at the Venetian Expo (booth #52712), and all three smart locks will be available for pre-order after CES, with shipping in early 2026.
The complete collection of smart locks for vein scanning from Lockin can be purchased via Amazon And lockin.com.
