Looks intriguing! What do you think?
My first thought: For $125 for the entry model, it'd BETTER be un-pickable.
My second thought: All key locks are easily defeated by the brute-force approach, namely, attacking you as you approach the door then using your key. Thus, this is no better than an electronic lock with a key fob or RFID wallet pin and a battery back-up.
My third thought: Electronic locks are much more expensive.
My fourth thought: The best deterrent to burglary, a large and very loudly barking dog, is many times more expensive than $125. They're more expensive than electronic locks, too.
My fifth thought: A hidden and silent alarm system -- far cheaper than a dog -- that's not turned off when someone enters will produce a reasonably rapid response from cops.
My sixth thought: For not too much more than a hidden and silent alarm system, you can upload HD or better "change video" to the web.*
My seventh and final thought: Buy a good lock for $50-60 on your front door, inside-only deadbolt all other doors, bar your windows, open carry, know darn well how to use it and blow away any and all burglary bastards.
*Change video is video that includes any significant changes, such as when a person transits in front of the camera. Settings include variable duration i.e. 30 sec, 5 min, etc. beyond the change point, and near-instantaneous jumps from low-res (640x480) to 4k (3840x2160). High-end systems allow the images to be sent to your phone and you can near-real-time take IR flash photographs in very high resolution than can be adjusted by software to produce perfect, detailed images of the robbers -- without them knowing it.
