A smart door lock with a camera combines keyless entry and a built-in doorbell-style view, so you can see who’s at your HDB or condo door and unlock from your phone in one device. This guide covers the camera-equipped digital locks most worth buying here, from igloohome and Kaadas to Eufy and Philips, judged for local doors, our humidity and after-sales support you can actually reach.
We picked these on camera quality, unlock methods, reliability, installation fit for Singapore doors and app features. It’s written for homeowners who want to vet visitors before opening, families keeping tabs on who comes and goes, and anyone comparing a smart lock with camera against a separate digital lock plus doorbell camera before spending their SGD. Combining the lock and camera into one unit keeps your doorway tidy and simplifies the app you manage, but it does mean the camera draws on the lock’s battery, so realistic expectations on charge life matter. Our prices are indicative SGD ranges that change often and usually exclude installation, so treat them as a guide and check the latest quote before committing.
What to look for in Singapore
- Camera quality and field of view wide enough to see a visitor clearly at a typical HDB doorway.
- Motion detection and app alerts so you’re notified when someone approaches or rings, even when out.
- Multiple unlock methods (fingerprint, PIN, card, app and key backup) alongside the camera, so entry is flexible.
- Compatibility with your door — HDB fire-rated main doors and condo doors differ, so confirm fit and use an experienced installer.
- Local versus cloud video storage, since a subscription-free option with local storage avoids monthly fees.
- Two-way audio to speak to a delivery rider or visitor through the lock.
- Battery life with the camera running, plus a low-battery warning and emergency power or key override.
- Humidity and heat tolerance for a semi-outdoor corridor, and local warranty and servicing in Singapore.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit a smart lock with a camera on a HDB main door?
Yes, but the main door is fire-rated, so use an installer experienced with HDB doors who won’t compromise its rating. Confirm the specific model suits your door thickness and material before booking installation.
Do I need a subscription for the lock’s camera?
Not always. Models like Eufy store video locally with no monthly fee, while others offer optional cloud storage for a subscription. If you want to avoid recurring costs, choose a lock with local storage and check what’s included.
Is a smart lock with a built-in camera better than a separate doorbell camera?
It depends. An all-in-one lock is tidier and simpler to manage, while a separate digital lock plus a dedicated doorbell camera can offer a better camera and more flexible placement. For most flats the integrated lock is the cleaner solution.
Will the camera and lock cope with corridor humidity?
Reputable brands rate their locks for our heat and moisture, and a sheltered HDB corridor is manageable. Choose an established brand with local warranty, keep the sensor and lens clean, and it should hold up well over the years.
How long does the battery last with the camera on?
Running the camera draws more power, so expect shorter battery life than a plain digital lock — often a few months depending on use. Good locks warn you before the battery runs low and include an emergency power option or key backup. If you’d rather not recharge often, a lock that records only on motion rather than continuously will stretch the battery considerably.
