Our Take
Interior View
Pros
- Users can quickly change the passcode for your door from your phone.
- Track comings and goings by assigning unique pin codes to different people.

Exterior Door View
Cons
- Can only lock or unlock manually when there is motion detected at the door.
- Can only view video when the motion detector is activated.
- Just installs on the deadbolt so if your lever/knob is a different color it could clash with its aesthetics.
- No night vision and the camera is affected by the glow from the LED lights.
- No video sharing or saving without a paid monthly plan (costs between $4.99-$7.99 a month)

Bottom Line
The Gate Smart Lock is all about visibility and accessibility – for the right people of course! It includes a built-in camera, two-way audio and a pin number unlocking feature. Probably Gate’s strongest asset is the sheer number of ways it can be unlocked and of course the built-in video monitoring.
Whether using pin, smartphone app (IOS and Android) or the old-fashioned back-up hard key, you’ll never have to worry about being locked out. Assign different pins to different people, and record who has accessed your door at what time: perfect for offices or multiple occupancy houses (note: scheduled access codes require an add-on monthly service).
Integrations with other smart home systems like Alexa, Siri and others is non-existent so is a good choice if you are looking just for a smart video door lock without having to buy a lock and video camera or deal with other integrations headaches with smart home hubs or home security services this could be a good choice for you. If these are important to you would suggest you look at other locks.
An important note If you want to have scheduled access or video sharing and saved history you will have to upgrade to a paid monthly service plan starting at $4.99 a month.
