Best known for its line of innovative smart locks, Lockly is showing off its first home security camera at CES in Las Vegas. The battery-powered OwlGuard IPC100 marks a step beyond the company’s core smart lock lineup, entering a competitive category with a few notable design choices. The camera records in 2K resolution with a wide field of view and supports both Starlight color and infrared night vision for low-light environments. It also includes AI-based detection designed to distinguish between people, pets, and vehicles. One of the camera’s most notable features is the 1.54-inch IPS color display located on the front, to the right of its lens. Unlike most security cameras, which keep system status inside an app, the OwlGuard displays battery life, recording activity, and security indicators right on the device. That could offer added reassurance in entryways or shared spaces without requiring users to check a phone. The OwlGuard IPC100 is Lockly’s first standalone home security camera.

Local video storage is supported via a microSD card slot that supports capacities up to 128GB; a 32GB card is included. Lockly says cloud storage is optional and isn’t required for basic functionality. Support for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant is planned but not yet certified. The OwlGuard also ties into Lockly’s existing smart lock ecosystem. On certain models, users can view live camera feeds directly on the lock’s screen, allowing for integrated access and monitoring. The camera is expected to launch in Q2 2026 with a list price of $99. Lockly also plans to offer optional accessories, including a solar charger, privacy cover, magnifying lens, sunshade (as shown up top), and silicone cases.
