About the Schlage BE499WBVCAM619 Encode Plus WiFi Deadbolt with Camelot Trim

The Schlage Encode Plus is a Wi-Fi deadbolt with Camelot trim in a satin nickel finish. It has a fingerprint-resistant touchscreen and connects over an encrypted connection. A built-in alarm can be customized to sound for door movement and forced entry attempts.

It installs in minutes with just a screwdriver and needs no hardwiring. The Snap 'n Stay design helps keep the lock on the door during installation, so both hands are free. It fits standard doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.

Auto-lock relocks the door for you. You can choose from several time delay options or turn the feature off. The lock runs on four AA batteries, which last up to six months with typical use.
