Designed to provide seamless access, intelligent surveillance, and AI-powered protection, the Veno series introduces Veno Pro, the flagship security model, and Veno Plus, a streamlined, cost-effective alternative. 

Lockin Veno Pro
Lockin Veno Pro

Both models utilize Venokey™ Palm Vein Recognition, delivering fast, touch-free, and fail-proof unlocking in just 0.17 seconds with 99.9% accuracy, certified by TÜV Rheinland. Beyond biometric precision, Venokey™ is enhanced by 60GHz radar sensing technology, which detects user approach in advance, activating the system for a seamless, hands-free unlocking experience. Whether arriving home with hands full or in a hurry, users can enjoy effortless, intuitive entry without any unnecessary delays. At the same time, Venokey™ provides a truly contactless experience, working effortlessly in all conditions, including wet or dry hands and long nails, ensuring that every unlocking moment is quick, secure, and frustration-free.

Security is not just about access but also about awareness. LockinCam™ 180° Head to Toe ultra-wide 2K camera ensures the widest coverage on the market, capturing everything from 10 cm outside the door and beyond(1). This feature significantly reduces blind spots and allows users to monitor package deliveries placed at the entrance—three times closer than other locks. Equipped with infrared fill light, it ensures clear imaging even in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility for improved home security.

Enhancing this protection, LockinAI™ utilizes local AI algorithms for quick target recognition, providing security alerts within 3-5 seconds(2).

With 32GB built-in storage, Veno Pro eliminates the need for extra SD cards, additional hubs, or cloud-based services, saving users up to $500 over five years(3). Veno Plus also has 8GB built-in storage

Battery performance is optimized through advanced low-power technology, ensuring up to three months of battery life on a single charge. This eliminates concerns about frequent charging while maintaining stable performance in any home environment.

Durability is a key aspect of the Veno series, with Veno Pro featuring an IP65-rated tempered glass panel, BHMA Grade 2 certification, and anti-interference technology, ensuring reliable performance in extreme weather conditions. Veno Plus, with an IP53 rating and BHMA Grade 3 certification, offers solid durability for standard home environments, delivering long-lasting protection. The mechanical structure of Veno Pro and Veno Plus is tested to last up to 10 years, reinforcing Lockin’s commitment to long-term security.

Installation is designed to be effortless, requiring only 15 minutes, one person, and a single screwdriver. With its intuitive setup, the Veno series ensures a seamless transition to smart security without professional assistance.

Veno Pro stands out as an all-in-one security solution, combining Venokey™ for seamless biometric access, LockinCam™ for intelligent surveillance, and LockinAI™ for real-time motion detection. By integrating these advanced features into a single device, Veno Pro eliminates the need for separate door locks, security cameras, video doorbells, and local AI processing hubs, offering a comprehensive, proactive security system.

Three generations of “Lhamo” and a brand-new Xizang

BEIJING, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on some stories of the people in Xizang:


Three generations of “Lhamo” and a brand-new Xizang

During China’s “two sessions” earlier this month, Penpa Lhamo, a member of CPPCC made her proposals concerning the development of her hometown, Xizang Autonomous Region.

Lhamo, meaning “fairy,” is a common name for women of the Tibetan ethnic group, and it also appears in the names of Penpa Lhamo’s mother and grandmother. However, the three generations of “Lhamo” have had completely different life trajectories.

Grandmother Lhamo was once a serf of the lowest status in Xizang. Back then, serfs like her had no freedom at all, working endlessly for food barely enough to live, and almost impossible to keep warm, let alone the luxury of education. As the offspring of a serf, Phurbu Lhamo, mother of Penpa Lhamo, was born into the same fate, and began to work for the Tibetan nobility since she was six.

After the democratic reform, serfs and slaves, who accounted for 95% of Xizang’s population at the time, finally gained freedom, ownership of production materials, and the opportunity to build better lives while enjoying various rights. The mother, Phurbu Lhamo, one of the beneficiaries of the change, acquired the chance to receive education in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province before returning to work in Xigaze City. When it came to Penpa Lhamo, life in Xizang had improved significantly, and educational policies among others became more comprehensive. Penpa Lhamo smoothly obtained her bachelor’s degree, before pursuing further education and earned her master’s degree and PhD, during which time she also went on academic exchanges in Norway and the U.S. Now, she is not only deeply engaged in law and South Asian studies, but she also conducted repeated research on grassroots communities, so that she can offer more valuable insights for her hometown Xizang’s development.

From regaining freedom and becoming the masters of their own destinies, to meeting basic needs and receiving education, and ultimately pursuing further development and even participating in the discussion of state affairs, the journeys of these three generations of Tibetan women also reflect the tremendous changes in Xizang over the past six decades or so.

In Xizang today, food like tsampa, meat, fruits and vegetables that were once out of reach except to the nobility have become everyday staples. In residential communities, spacious and well-kept Tibetan-style buildings have mushroomed. The once almost isolated Xizang now enjoys continuous improvements in transportation and communication infrastructure, while the advancements in digitalization and smart technology are within easy reach.

A robust social welfare system, including the medical care insurance, offers a safety net for the elderly in Xizang, easing concerns over illness and elderly care; the 15-year free education policy enables children to attend preschool to high school free without fear of having to drop out. Schools in Xizang offer curriculum in both Mandarin and Tibetan; ancient Tibetan texts are carefully preserved; and intangible cultural heritage including Tibetan medicine and Tibetan opera continue to be passed down and innovated…

Bright sunshine has truly lighted up the snow-capped plateau, and bathing in such sunshine are numerous young and vibrant faces thriving in Xizang. Kelsang Pedron, the first Tibetan female in China’s PLA Air Force can confidently fly a fighter jet. Tenzin Yeshe, a young Tibetan opera performer has committed himself to preserving and innovating this rich intangible cultural heritage. Young cyclist Kalsang Chophel rides along with Xizang’s mountain bike team, chasing his dream… In each of them lies a promise of a brighter tomorrow for Xizang.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Xizang Autonomous Region, and on March 28th, the people of Xizang celebrate the Serfs’ Emancipation Day. Have the people of Xizang enjoyed abundant human rights for the past six decades or so? The stories of these individuals, and the futures they are building, all speak for themselves.
