Can a laser bypass the security of a modern smart lock?

In this Smarter Every Day investigation, witness an experiment attempting to breach a smart home's defenses. The video explores the vulnerability of electronic locks to external interference and the rapid software responses used to defend them.

The experiment investigates the security of smart locks against laser-based intrusion. While the video demonstrates the attempt to break into a smart home system, it also highlights the evolving nature of digital security. For instance, the lock manufacturer implemented a software update that now locks a user out after four unsuccessful PIN entries, demonstrating how manufacturers respond to potential vulnerabilities.
