Security Evaluation
1. Device Security
| Criterion
|
Value
|
Proof
|
Comment
|
| Known hardware tampering
|
Rare
|
🔗 Proof
|
SwitchBot states that the Lock Vision Series provides tamper alerts and forced-unlock protection. These measures can help detect unauthorized physical interference. However, model-specific hardware tampering statistics are unavailable, so the Rare rating is provisional.
|
| Known vulnerabilities
|
Rare
|
🔗 Proof
|
CVE-2026-8374 describes a Bluetooth access-control bypass affecting specified versions of earlier SwitchBot Lock Series components. The public affected-product list does not explicitly identify Lock Vision Pro. Therefore, this advisory indicates a related product-family risk but does not establish that Lock Vision Pro is vulnerable. Rare is a provisional classification.
|
| Prior attacks
|
None
|
🔗 Proof
|
No publicly documented successful attack specifically targeting the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro was identified in the sources reviewed as of October 21, 2026. A vulnerability advisory concerning other SwitchBot Lock Series components exists, but vulnerability disclosure is not equivalent to confirmed exploitation of this model. This None rating is provisional.
|
| Updatability
|
Rare
|
🔗 Proof
|
The manufacturer documents firmware updating and instructs users to keep Lock Vision Pro firmware current. However, the public documentation reviewed does not establish a frequent or regular release schedule. Rare is selected conservatively because update frequency has not been verified.
|
| Category Score
|
Score: 2 / 3
|
2. System Security
| Criterion
|
Value
|
Proof
|
Comment
|
| Authentication with other systems
|
Partial
|
🔗 Proof
|
Lock Vision Pro supports Matter pairing through a setup code or QR code and authenticated management through the SwitchBot App. The documentation does not establish that every third-party integration and communication path uses full mutual authentication, so Partial is selected.
|
| Communications
|
Encrypted with up-to-date encryption
|
🔗 Proof
|
SwitchBot states that the Lock Vision Series uses AES-128 encrypted communication and supports Matter over Wi-Fi. These are modern security technologies. However, the protection of every communication path has not been independently verified, and earlier SwitchBot Lock Series components have had reported Bluetooth security issues.
|
| Storage
|
Encrypted with up-to-date encryption
|
🔗 Proof
|
SwitchBot confirms that facial biometric information is encrypted and stored locally on the Lock Vision Pro rather than uploaded to the cloud. Passwords and other registered credentials are also stored on the device. The encryption algorithm and coverage of all local storage have not been independently established, so this rating is based on the documented biometric protection.

Score: 2 / 3

3. User Authentication
| Criterion
|
Value
|
Proof
|
Comment
|
| Account management
|
Full
|
🔗 Proof
|
The lock supports permanent, temporary, one-time and emergency passcodes, allowing access permissions with different durations. Authorized users can add and delete registered credentials through the SwitchBot App. These functions provide flexible management of access credentials.
|
| Authentication
|
Secure
|
🔗 Proof
|
Lock Vision Pro supports 3D facial recognition with liveness detection, palm vein recognition, fingerprint recognition, passcodes and NFC access. Multiple authentication methods and anti-spoofing measures help prevent unauthorized entry, although independent penetration-test results have not been established.
|
| Brute-force protection
|
Exist
|
🔗 Proof
|
According to the manufacturer, the Lock Vision Series automatically locks out further attempts after repeated failed verification. This reduces the risk of repeated password guessing and unauthorized authentication attempts.
|
| Event logging
|
Access event logged
|
🔗 Proof
|
The manufacturer's specifications state that Lock Vision Pro stores and displays up to six months of access and operation records locally. Emergency passcode use can also generate a recorded event and notification.
|
| Passwords
|
Require change after setup
|
🔗 Proof
|
Users create their own 6-to-12-digit access passcodes and must set a permanent passcode before adding other passcode types. No shared factory-default access passcode is documented. However, a mandatory change of a default password after setup has not been established, so the selected category is an approximate match to the Wiki-IoT rubric.

The SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro is a smart door lock introduced by SwitchBot in May 2026. It supports 3D structured-light facial recognition, palm vein recognition, fingerprint recognition, NFC cards, access passcodes, smartphone app control, and physical keys. The device features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and supports Matter over Wi-Fi for smart home integration.
The lock is powered by a 10,000mAh rechargeable battery with a CR123A backup battery and a USB-C emergency power input. It is managed using the SwitchBot App and provides local storage of access and operation records for up to six months.
The device incorporates several security features, including biometric liveness detection, encrypted local facial data storage, AES-128 encrypted communication, tamper alerts, forced-unlock protection, and automatic lockout after repeated failed verification attempts. It also supports different types of access passcodes and firmware updates.
However, publicly available information does not fully establish the security of every communication channel or the frequency of firmware updates. In October 2026, a Bluetooth access-control vulnerability was disclosed for specified versions of earlier SwitchBot Lock Series components. The public advisory does not explicitly identify Lock Vision Pro as an affected product, so the vulnerability should not be attributed to this model without further verification.
Based on publicly available manufacturer documentation and security information reviewed as of October 21, 2026, the device provides multiple security mechanisms for access control, authentication, and data protection. Nevertheless, several ratings remain provisional because independent testing results and model-specific attack statistics are limited.
This classification is based on publicly available evidence and does not represent an independent security audit or penetration test.
