hi there right Chris from CNET here and today we're looking at the shell Age Camelot touchscreen deadbolt and this is a deadbolt that retails for 431 dollars but don't worry you're not going to pay anything close to that it goes on Amazon and some stores like Home Depot for as low as 160 - just looking at the lock it's a pretty nice looking unit it's got this kind of old-fashioned look there's also the Schlage century touchscreen deadbolt and that's the exact same price has all the exact same features just looks a little more modern if you wanted to lock it all you have to do is press this laid button here and automatically lock you can also of course use a key or turn the bolt on the inside just like a standard lock but you want it to unlock it you could also use a code and we have a very creative code of one-two-three-four totally feat proof right but that will unlock it automatically and you can program up to thirty different codes the deadbolt also has a built-in alarm you can customize in terms of sensitivity and what sets it off you can have an alarm that only goes off with the doors being broken down or an alarm that goes off of someone's trying to pick the lock or even just a very soft to beep alarm that'll go off whenever the door is open and closed so you can keep track of people coming in and out and testing it out we found out that all the codes and the alarms worked very well and the best part is you can program it all directly on the touch screen it's all very simple to do you can do it right here that's great another huge selling point for the shell Age Camelot touchscreen deadbolt and the sentry deadbolt too is that they're compatible with the nexia home intelligence home automation system and that's a great system that we also reviewed check it out but what it does is it hooks your deadbolt into your home network and allows you to control it remotely and that's a great thing you can use your phone you can use the computer their website their app whatever you want to unlock the deadbolt to program codes to do all sorts of things and there's some added functionality as well if you use nexia you can also program temporary codes you can make a code that will only work on Sundays or only work for 15 minutes on one day and then over it won't ever work again and that's a nice thing if you have like a pet sitter or someone checking in on your house while you're away on vacation you can give them that option and know that they're not going to be able to keep that code and come back later now if you make a unique code for everybody who might want to use the door you can track all of that on the website you can see a timeline of when people came and went and maybe that's a little invasive of privacy but it's good information for the paranoid homeowner without next year it's a normal lock but it still has great touchpad functionality it's programmable it has the alarm and it's a grade one certified lock it's a very high quality look if you want to upgrade your lock and you want something secure and kind of cool I think this is a great option so if that sounds like you give the slave camel out touchscreen deadbolt a chance for seeing that I'm Rui Chris thanks for watching
