If you’ve ever juggled bags, groceries, kids, and keys at your HDB or condo door, you’ll know the front door is more than just an entry point. With the Sentinel Pro, PRISM+ promises to make that moment smoother, smarter and just a little more modern. I installed it to see whether it truly makes everyday life easier.
Design & First Impressions
The lock body has a sleek aluminium finish and the door viewer adds a clean, slim profile camera housing on the outside. The whole setup feels premium without being flashy – perfect if you want something that blends into your existing décor. The installation process took a little under two hours with the professional assistance of the PRISM+ team, and once it was up everything felt solid and professionally done.
Key Features And Everyday Use
Facial Recognition And Multiple Unlock Methods
The standout feature in the Pro model is the 3D Facial Recognition system. I found it surprisingly convenient on days when my hands were full because I could simply walk up to the door and be recognised immediately. You also get fingerprint unlock, PIN code entry, NFC or card access and mobile app control.
Door Viewer And Visual Monitoring
The door viewer camera provides a live feed straight to your phone and takes snapshots when motion is detected. One night when I heard someone outside, I checked the live view from my living room and felt much more at ease knowing exactly what was happening outside my door.
App Control And Remote Access
The PRISM+ Connect app lets you grant temporary PINs, view access logs and unlock the door remotely. I tested it when a delivery arrived earlier than expected and it worked smoothly. The app also gives low battery alerts so you will not be caught off guard.
Battery Life
Battery life is rated up to nine months depending on usage. I have not reached that duration yet, but so far the power levels have held up well.
Experience
For a typical household where parcels, food deliveries and guests come by often, the Sentinel Pro Bundle quickly proved its worth. It added a layer of security while making my daily entry and exit smoother. The combination of facial recognition, camera visibility and app control made the entire system feel more convenient and more reassuring.
