Introduction

The Veise VE017 Fingerprint Smart Door Lock with App Control offers a comprehensive approach to home entry security by combining multiple access methods with remote management capabilities. Designed for users who want to move away from traditional keys, this lock integrates fingerprint recognition, a digital keypad, and smartphone connectivity into a single matte black unit. The product focuses on providing flexible access control while maintaining a secure, locally stored data environment.

Product Overview

This smart lock is built around the KK Home App, which serves as the central hub for user management and remote control. The system is designed with multi-tenant properties in mind, allowing property owners to authorize users, modify permissions, and track entry events from a mobile device. The lock itself features an all-zinc alloy construction with a scratch-resistant and wear-resistant finish, intended for use on both interior and entrance doors.

The VE017 supports a wide range of door configurations, with compatibility for standard lock hole diameters and door thicknesses. Installation is presented as a do-it-yourself task that can be completed with basic tools, without requiring drilling or hardwiring.

Key Features and Specifications

The lock provides multiple ways to gain entry, catering to different user preferences and situations. The available unlock methods include:

• Fingerprint recognition
• Smartphone app control
• Authorized access codes
• Fob card
• PIN code entry
• Code sharing
• Compatibility with Alexa and Google Voice Assistant (requires a separate G1 Gateway)
• Mechanical key for backup access

For locking, the system offers five methods: an auto-lock feature that can be set to engage between 0 and 180 seconds, fingerprint activation, any key press, app control, and the mechanical key. This range of options provides flexibility in how the door is secured after entry.

Fingerprint Recognition and Security

The fingerprint system uses Swedish FPC technology and operates with a dedicated on-device AI chip. The stated recognition speed is under 0.2 seconds with a claimed accuracy of 99.99%. The AI component is designed to continuously learn and refine recognition patterns with each use, meaning the system’s accuracy may improve over time as it is used. Fingerprints can be added, renamed, or deleted through the app, offering a degree of control over who has biometric access.

Security is further addressed through local data storage. Access data, including entry records, user credentials, and fingerprints, is encrypted with AES128 and stored directly on the lock itself. This approach is intended to eliminate the risk of cloud-based data leakage. Users can also enable a “Silent Mode” to mute sounds and an “Away Mode” that restricts access to master credentials, the app, or physical keys only.

Access Codes and Intelligent Protection

The lock supports four distinct password modes, allowing for flexible access sharing:

• Remote one-time codes for single use
• Duration codes for guests or sitters
• Permanent codes for family members
• Recurring codes for regular visitors

These codes can be created, shared, and deleted remotely through the app. An Anti-Peeping Privacy Code feature allows users to enter random numbers before or after the correct PIN sequence, helping to prevent password observation. The lock also includes an intrusion defense system that triggers real-time alarms and temporary lockouts in the event of unauthorized access attempts.

Design and Build

The VE017 is constructed from an all-zinc alloy, all-metal body with a matte black finish described as scratch-resistant and wear-resistant. The lock meets BHMA/ANSI certification standards and carries an IP55 waterproof and dustproof rating. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -35°F to 160°F, making it suitable for exterior installations exposed to wind, rain, and sun.

Installation is designed to be straightforward, with the lock auto-detecting left- or right-handed doors. The stated installation time is approximately 15 minutes using only a screwdriver. The lock is compatible with lock hole diameters of 1-1/2 inches (38mm) or 2-1/8 inches (54mm) and fits door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inches (35mm) to 2 inches (50mm). Installation instructions and video tutorials are included.

Power and Battery Management

The lock operates on 4 AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, which are not included with the product. The stated battery life is approximately 12 months, though this may vary based on usage frequency. To manage power, the lock features a low battery indicator light and a USB-C emergency port. A “safe mode” is also mentioned as part of the power management system, though specific details on this function are not provided in the product information.

Smart Home Integration and Connectivity

Remote access and smart home integration require the Veise G1 Gateway, which is sold separately. With the gateway, users gain access to remote locking and unlocking, compatibility with Alexa and Google voice assistants, real-time activity logs, and lock status monitoring. Without the gateway, the lock operates via Bluetooth for app connectivity, though remote functions are not available.

During installation, users are advised to ensure the door leaf remains parallel and symmetrical to the door frame so the latch aligns properly with the strike plate. For app connectivity issues, the guidance suggests checking that the mobile phone is within effective Bluetooth range or attempting to reset the lock.

Warranty and Support

The product includes a 1-year limited warranty, with a free 1-year extension available upon product registration, bringing the total to 2 years. US phone support is available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 7 AM to 3 PM PST. Email support is available 24/7 from the Veise support team.
