SEAMLESS SMART RESIDENTIAL SECURITY
» KWIKSET, A TRUSTED LEADER IN smart security solutions, and DoorBird, a pioneer in IP video door communication, are proud to announce the integration of Kwikset’ s Halo™ smart locks with the DoorBird app. This collaboration brings together two industry innovators to deliver a more convenient and secure home access experience.
With this integration, residents can now remotely unlock their Kwikset Halo locks from within the DoorBird app during a live video call with a visitor— all with a simple tap of a button. This seamless experience not only saves time but also adds a new level of control, eliminating the need to switch between apps or interrupt the conversation. It also allows homeowners to manage access without switching between apps. Best of all, it works natively, with no hub required, by leveraging your existing home Wi-Fi network.
“ This is a great example of the synergy within the ASSA ABLOY Group,” said Jeff Sandoval, Director, Electronics Marketing
at Kwikset.“ By combining our expertise in smart residential security with DoorBird’ s advanced video intercom systems, we’ re creating a smarter, safer, and more connected home.”
Security and privacy are prioritized, featuring encrypted communication and robust authentication protocols, while also delivering a highly responsive, lowlatency experience. Unlike other solutions that may introduce delays, it’ s optimized for instant interactions, ensuring smooth and efficient performance. Residents can easily activate the feature through the DoorBird app by linking their Kwikset Halo account.
“ Being part of the ASSA ABLOY Group enables us to collaborate more deeply and deliver integrated solutions that truly benefit our customers,” said DoorBird Founder & CEO Sascha Keller.“ This partnership is a step forward in redefining how people interact with their front doors.”
Both Kwikset and DoorBird will be showcasing the solution live at CEDIA Expo 2025( booth # 1329), offering attendees a firsthand look at the combined technologies. Visitors can explore the joint exhibit to see the integration in action and speak with product experts from both brands.
