The fingerprint scanner on the ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro WiFi smart lock is pretty reliable. Our research indicates it has an accuracy rate of 99.8%, so it usually identifies and authenticates fingerprints without any issues. This means you can expect it to work well most of the time, giving you quick and convenient access to your home.
But, like with most tech, it's not completely foolproof. Sometimes it might not recognize a fingerprint on the first try, especially if your finger is dirty or wet. So, keeping your fingers clean and dry can help minimize that problem.
The scanner can store up to 120 fingerprints, which is handy if you have a large family or need it for a small business. Setting it up is pretty straightforward, thanks to clear instructions, and the U-tec app offers tools to manage the fingerprints easily.
If for some reason the fingerprint scanner isn't working, the ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro WiFi also lets you use a keypad, your smartphone through the U-tec app, or even a traditional key. It works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice commands too, though it doesn't support Apple HomeKit, so Siri isn't an option.
One thing to note is that some folks have mentioned connectivity issues since the lock only works with 2.4GHz WiFi and not 5GHz. Following the setup instructions and making sure your network is set up right typically solves these issues.
So, overall, the fingerprint scanner on the ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro WiFi is quite reliable and should be a good fit if youβre looking for a secure and flexible smart lock.
