Unlocking a front door has changed dramatically over the last decade. While traditional keys are still common, many homeowners now prefer smart locks that offer convenient access via PIN codes or fingerprint sensors.
Today, a new direction is emerging: the palm recognition smart lock. This technology introduces a smoother, more hygienic, and entirely touchless entry experience that fits naturally into everyday routines.
EZVIZ recently introduced the Y3000FVP Plus, a device designed for homeowners looking for a more convenient and secure way to manage home access. It makes entering your home easier by adapting to the way people actually live today.
A palm recognition smart lock uses an advanced biometric system that identifies individuals based on the unique vein patterns under the skin. Unlike traditional scanners, it does not analyze the skin's surface, but rather an internal structure unique to every individual.
The process is fast and contactless: simply hold your hand near the sensor, and the system verifies your identity to grant access in seconds. This technology is particularly useful when your hands are full or when you prefer not to touch shared surfaces.
It is designed to provide a high level of biometric security while reducing the limitations of surface-based authentication found in conventional scanners.

While biometric smart locks already offer several entry methods, palm vein recognition introduces distinct advantages:
• Enhanced precision: By working with internal vein patterns, it helps reduce the risk of falsification.
• Reliability: It does not rely on constant physical contact, reducing potential wear on the sensor.
• Ease of use: Simply present your hand—no need to press down or memorize codes.
• Contactless entry: Perfect for maintaining better hygiene in shared living environments.
Beyond its biometric capabilities, the Y3000FVP Plus includes a built-in door viewer with a 4-inch indoor screen. This allows you to see exactly who is at your doorstep without opening the door or relying on a smartphone.
This is an ideal feature for:
• Families with children or elderly members.
• Apartments with high delivery traffic.
• Users who prefer visual confirmation before granting entry.
Behind the convenience of palm recognition is dedicated AI hardware designed to process biometric data quickly and securely. The Y3000FVP Plus features a high-performance 12 nm AI chip with a dual-core CPU, optimizing speed for every scan.
This hardware ensures faster validation at the door and stable performance even with multiple registered users. Integration with the EZVIZ app also enables similar remote management features available on other EZVIZ smart locks, such as the DL05 and DL06.

Palm recognition offers a more convenient way to unlock your door, especially when your hands are occupied. It makes entering your home faster and more intuitive, removing the need for physical keys or fobs.
Ultimately, it’s about entering your home effortlessly while knowing the system is built with security in mind. Note: Performance may vary depending on lighting conditions and specific usage environments.

Palm vein recognition provides an additional layer of biometric protection because it utilizes internal vein patterns that are much harder to replicate than surface-level fingerprints. Furthermore, biometric data is managed through fully localized processing and storage on the device, meaning it is not uploaded to the cloud.
Yes. Since the sensor scans internal veins rather than surface texture, the system works reliably even when hands are wet or slightly dirty, conditions where standard fingerprint scanners might struggle.
The Y3000FVP Plus includes mechanical backup options. You can use a physical emergency key or connect a power bank to the external emergency power port to grant access if the batteries are completely drained.
