DESLOC V150 Plus is a smart lock with an integrated perovskite solar panel, which can generate power under low-light conditions, eliminating or at least reducing the need for manual battery charging.
The V150 Plus is a two-part system consisting of exterior and interior units connected via wires through the door. The exterior unit includes the perovskite solar panel, two cameras with a 3D facial recognition system, and an AI-assisted fingerprint sensor, while the interior unit houses a 10,000mAh removable battery, a Battery Management System (BMS), and a lock motor. The BMS manages battery charging and power distribution. The rechargeable battery is rated to provide up to 8 months of backup operation when solar charging is unavailable, which is a little longer than the Lockzo AL501 3-in-1 smart door lock we reviewed earlier.
DESLOC V150 Plus specifications:
The company has not disclosed the processor used in the V150 Plus, but they mention that the solar panel starts charging at 300 lux, while the BMS monitors battery status and controls charging and power management.
The facial recognition system combines dual cameras, a 24GHz radar for presence detection, infrared illumination for low-light operation, and liveness detection to help prevent spoofing attempts. According to DESLOC, the system can unlock the door in about 0.7 seconds. Additionally, the company mentions that the fingerprint recognition algorithm adapts to changes in fingerprint patterns over time to improve recognition accuracy.
The DESLOC app allows users to manage the lock, configure access permissions, view battery status, and monitor the solar charging status. It also supports OTA updates, factory resets, and specific app modes, including Vacation (when you are away from home), Rest (Do Not Disturb or privacy mode), and Special Care (which allows administrators to set up profiles for children, elderly family members, or caregivers).
The DESLOC V150 Plus smart lock solar panel is available on Kickstarter, with pledge tiers starting at $199 for a single lock. Other tiers include a $229 option for a single unit and multi-unit bundles. An optional WK01 keypad is available as a $35 add-on.
According to the Kickstarter campaign, shipments are expected to begin in August 2026. In the box, you will get everything you need for a standard installation on most North American doors. This includes the exterior lock (housing the solar panel and sensors), the interior lock, mounting hardware, strike plates, a deadbolt, a magnetic door sensor, mechanical keys, and a spare 10,000 mAh Li-ion battery.
