Give the Gift of Peace of Mind this Christmas with Philips Smart Locks


The holiday season in the Philippines is the busiest time of the year, filled with family reunions, travel, and year-end reflections.  
 
Amid the frenzy of activities, our homes stand at the heart of the festivities as we welcome our families and friends into our spaces for heart-warming reunions. Our homes can also occupy our thoughts deeply as we go out attending merriments or travel out of town for a much-needed rest. 
 
If you are a homeowner or just someone looking for meaningful gift ideas that the entire family will appreciate, give your family the gift of safety and convenience this Christmas with a Philips Smart Lock.  
 
The gift that keeps on giving 
A Philips Smart Lock is more than just a physical gift that represents practicality. At its essence, it offers the true gift of peace of mind and home security, protecting our homes and families as we go about the holiday frenzy. 
 
Knowing that our homes are safe and secure with the Philips smart home solution can significantly lift the holiday stresses from our shoulders and the worries from our minds.  
 
Gifting a Philips Smart Lock also matches the spirit of the season as we reflect on our surroundings and experiences of the past year and make improvement plans for the upcoming year, not just in our home environment, but in our quality of our safety. 
 
Which present will you choose? 
Choosing a Philips Smart Lock really is an easy decision when you prioritize your home’s safety, efficiency, and convenience. 
 
Among our bestsellers is the 9000 series DDL902-MFVP-11HWS that provides superior security, including a smart three-camera design for better facial recognition, wider area coverage, and improved verification. It is also capable of palm vein recognition unlocking that recognizes your unique, internal vein patterns for a touchless and hygienic way to unlock doors. Meanwhile, its 3D face unlock offers another hands-free convenience when we are carrying all those Christmas presents or an exhausted, sleeping child in your arms after a day of holiday shopping and partying. 
 
On the other hand, the IP65-certified 8000 series of push-pull smart locks DDL801-5HBS can be remotely unlocked and enables you to easily monitor your doorway from anywhere with real-time alerts. Once connected to the Philips network and paired with our Home Access App, this smart lock lets you easily generate and share temporary one-time PIN codes* valid for 6 hours, recurring codes, or time-limited codes to welcome visitors into your home for the holiday reunion. This flexibility simplifies welcoming guests while still securing your home. Meanwhile, the indoor quick-open switch allows you to quickly allow guests to enter as you cook up a feast for Noche Buena in the kitchen. 
 
The 7000 series DDL720-FVP-17HWS of Philips smart locks features also features dual cameras that simulate human eye imaging to capture your facial features in 3D, with the added capability of activating the radar sensors when it detects movement within a 1-meter distance. If you are in your bedroom preparing to look fabulous, this smart door lock’s 4-inch LCD display allows you to start a two-way audio conversation with the guest to verify their identity and courteously request their patience as you get ready. The video door viewer also captures photos or videos of guests with each ring.
