"Have you ever thought of a lock that could
recognize you in less than a second, unlocking your door the moment you
touch the handle?"
Other smart locks take longer than regular
locks, even more than 30 seconds to take out your phone, connect to
Bluetooth, and unlock your door. But is that really ‘progress'?
Technology
should make life easier, not more complicated. That’s why Ola has a
fingerprint sensor integrated into the door handle. Register your
fingerprint directly on the handle, and then forget about your keys and
phone.
Ola is completely self-contained. All it needs is you.
The First
Ola
is the first smart lock on the market to incorporate Bluetooth 4.0
connectivity and capacitive fingerprint technology, making Ola not only
keyless but phoneless.
The Fastest
The days of searching for keys or fumbling
through smart phone apps are officially over. Ola has incorporated one
of the best fingerprint sensors on the market (the FPC1020AM from
Sweden) which means that you can unlock Ola in under a second.
The Longest
We test-opened Ola over 31,042 times with
one set of 4 AA-batteries, which is the equivalent of two years of
normal use. We also included a button that activates the back up
AAA-battery. The backup uses Panasonic Evolta batteries that hold the
Guinness world record for longest shelf life, and gives Ola a total
battery life of about 7 years. In case of an emergency, you can power
Ola with a micro USB.
Simplicity: Not only keyless, but phoneless
Our fingerprint technology liberates Ola from relying on other
devices like a smart phone. No more lost keys and no more anxiety over
dying phones. Ola doesn't need them. It only needs you and your
fingerprint to unlock the door and get inside.
More efficient battery use
We paid special attention to Ola’s
battery life. With only one set of 4 AA batteries, Ola test-opened more
than 31,042 times via Bluetooth. Ola's extra set of 4 Panasonic Evolta
AAA batteries also won the Guinness world record for longest shelf life.
These features combine to give Ola a total battery life of 7 years, not
to mention the emergency activation button on the bottom of Ola. It
also has the micro USB port that connects to the power compartment and
powers Ola with an external battery.
Security meets convenience
No keyhole means no lock bumping
or lock picking. Ola can be installed in minutes with either a Mortise
lock case for security, or a cylinder lock for convenience and
easy installation.
Regular fingerprint sensors recognize users by
scanning the ridges and valleys of their fingerprint, but that pattern
is easily duplicated. Our sensor utilizes a radio frequency signal to
scan the pattern under the surface of the skin. A fake fingerprint has
no pattern under the surface, so our radio frequency technology saves
you from worrying that someone may copy your fingerprints.
You can
also share access to Ola with friends and family, either with a
Bluetooth key or by registering their fingerprint. That means the ease
of Ola isn't just for you, but everyone important to you.
Control at your fingertips… literally
Ola’s FPC1020 Capacitive Touch Fingerprint Sensor offers
state-of-the-art fingerprint technology. That means efficient energy
consumption, 256 grey scale values in every single pixel, and durability
against wear and tear for 10 million cycles. Ola’s capacitive sensor
can also read the arches, loops and whirls of your finger, even if
covered or dirty. So when we say no more key and no more smart phone, we
really mean it. Just register your fingerprint for the first time, then
forget about your phone permanently.
Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity
Sharing
We also want Ola to bring comfort and ease to the people you
care about. You can share access instantly with family and friends
through Ola’s simple yet intelligent app. You can invite people with 4
different settings:
Temporary: From 11/06 11.00 am to 21/06 21.00 pm
Recurring: Every Sundays from 2 to 5 pm and every Wednesdays from 10 am to 2 pm
Permanent: All time access.
Master: All time access + gives the right to invite people, keep open, rename or delete lock...
And in 2 different ways:
Bluetooth access: generates a link you can send via email or a QR code.
Fingerprint access: Fingerprint needs to be registered on Ola at the time of the invite.
Temporary Keys
We know not everyone is welcome all
the time, though, so you can schedule temporary keys for visitors or
guests. This makes it easy not only to give access, but to restrict it.
Ola's app is designed with the intention of
minimizing your reliance on technology. The interface of the app is
intuitive, and intentionally minimal, because we believe you should be
spending time doing other things. We also made sure Ola is easy to open.
Once you scanned your lock’s QR code and registered your fingerprint,
you could forget your phone in another country and still get inside just
as easily.

Battery life, never be locked out again
As we mentioned before, Ola's backup battery pack can be
activated with a single button, and the micro USB port can be used to
power Ola with an external battery. Getting locked out because of dead
batteries is almost impossible

Receiving your Ola
Ola's box content:
1 Ola smart lock
1 lockset: Choose between a Mortise lock set for security or a
Standard Latch bolt for convenience (or just use the lock already on
your door to minimize the work!)
1 Ola installation kit (screwdriver and screws)
1 Ola installation guide
Installation
Ola is compatible with Mortise and the
Standard Latch bolt lock sets and is installed like a regular lock. 59
seconds is our engineer's record for replacing a regular door knob with
Ola.
All measurements are in mm
Hardware Sync
Using your phone to sync Ola and your
fingerprint is very easy. First, each Ola has a QR code (in the user
manual) that is unique to that Ola. Simply scan this QR code to identify
yourself as the master user. Then you can register your fingerprints
and those of others by placing your thumb on the handle.
We are a team of young entrepreneurs whose goal is to improve the
domotica industry by inventing reliable and self-reliant home products.
Today we have realized that dream. The world's first true smart lock,
Ola, is here. Technologically advanced, and wirelessly connected, Ola’s
fingerprint technology is completely self-contained. It can recognize
approved users through a touch of the finger, or in the “old-fashioned”
way through Bluetooth 4.0. These features, combined with an unrivaled
battery life and reliable security features, marks Ola as the next step
in the evolution of the lock.
WHY WE NEED YOU
The hard part is done. We invented Ola.
Now we need your help in bringing Ola to the public. Of course funding
is important, but we also want your feedback, your experiences, and your
enthusiasm. We’ve had Ola installed on our door for months. We know it
works. Other offices in our hallway have even started using it. But mass
production is expensive and we need your support to realize our vision
of sharing Ola with the world.
HELP US SPREAD THE NEWS
When we say we want Ola to change the world, we really mean it.
The lock as an invention has remained the same for hundreds if not
thousands of years. The time has come to bring this ancient but
necessary piece of technology into the modern era. Smart technology not
only makes the key obsolete, but makes our homes more secure. To back
Ola is to step into the future.
Risks and challenges
31 months after we began, Ola is finally ready for some attention. We
spent a lot of our own money, but we believe in our vision, and have
tirelessly refined Ola with the feedback of alpha-testers. Now we need
you for the final stages.
We have the energy to keep going, but the cost of producing 10 units
is nothing compared to the cost of producing 500 units. Our real
challenge is raising funds to manufacture in mass. Help us overcome this
challenge by pledging and working together to achieve our goal of
getting Ola on your block. Thank you!
Thank you for your donation. You're bringing us one step closer to making Ola a reality.
