While offering an integrated solution that combines a door viewer, doorbell, and smart door lock functionalities, the Philips 3000 Series Smart Lock, exemplified by models DDL303BFCBW/00 and DDL303BFABW/00, incorporates a 3.5-inch IPS display enabling users to visually confirm visitors without opening the door.
This multifunctional design integrates visual monitoring and access control within a singular device, utilizing an aluminum alloy construction available in obsidian black and matte black finishes. The 3.5-inch IPS screen supports high-resolution image display, facilitating user interaction and security verification in real-time. In addition, the # key doubles as a doorbell and unlock button, enhancing convenience with its easy life features. The lock is designed for quick installation, allowing setup in minutes using a screwdriver.
Advanced access methods distinguish the Philips 3000 Series by incorporating multiple biometric and electronic strategies. Importantly, it employs a semiconductor fingerprint sensor capable of storing up to 50 fingerprints, complemented by a 20-digit hidden PIN code system designed to mitigate unauthorized observation during code entry.
Additional methods include temporary PIN codes for guest access, physical key tags, mechanical keys, mobile app operations, and voice commands through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant integration. These diversified entry options enhance user flexibility and security. Unlike Ring-compatible devices like the Schlage Encode which use WiFi or Z-Wave technology, the Philips 3000 Series connects directly through its built-in WiFi module.
Connectivity is supported via a built-in Wi-Fi module that eliminates the necessity for additional bridges or hubs. Control and user management are conducted through the Philips Home Access App, which delivers remote access capabilities, real-time notifications on access events, door status updates, and configurable auto-lock timing from 30 to 180 seconds.
Door position sensors verify secure closures, while multiple security features such as anti-disassembly mechanics, system lock-out protocols, low battery warnings, and an inbuilt vibration sensor provide layered protection. An arming alarm in Away mode triggers notifications upon unauthorized indoor activity.
The lock’s retrofit design guarantees compatibility with existing deadbolts and standard mechanical mortises (60-70mm backset), accommodating door thicknesses from 38mm up to 120mm and various door types including wood and security doors.
Power management utilizes a Li-polymer battery enabling up to three months of usage, extendable to one year in select models, with emergency power provisioning via a 5V power bank. The device offers durable construction for long-term operation, a mute mode, human voice guidance, and thorough logging of user access records within the app environment.
