For a smart home electronics upgrade at the front door, the key decision is whether you want a focused deadbolt with Apple-oriented controls or a more consolidated lock that combines visitor-facing features with its entry hardware. Aqara U100 and CAMCAMP take noticeably different approaches while sitting close together in listed price.
Quick verdict
Choose the Aqara U100 Smart Lock Fingerprint Apple Home Key HomeKit Keyless Deadbolt Gray if Apple Home Key and HomeKit are central to your setup and you want a dedicated deadbolt. Choose the Smart Lock with Camera & Handle Fingerprint Keyless Door Lock WiFi APP Control from CAMCAMP when a camera-and-doorbell combination is the bigger priority. The listed prices are $104.99 and $116.38, a difference of $11.39.

Where each lock wins
Aqara U100: a focused front-entry deadbolt
Aqara is the clearer pick when the lock itself should remain the centerpiece of the entry setup. Its matte zinc-alloy construction, gray finish, and supplied hardware and key give this configuration a traditional deadbolt-oriented direction. That can be appealing for a front entrance where the desired look is restrained and the Apple ecosystem terms in the title are a deciding factor.
CAMCAMP: more entry functions in one unit
CAMCAMP is aimed at shoppers who want more functions built into the lock assembly. Its listed controls include the Tuya app, automatic relocking, remote control, one-time codes, and an alarm feature. The lock also lists support for up to 100 fingerprints, making it the stronger match when several access-management options matter alongside the lock's visitor-oriented functions.
Product notes
Aqara U100 Smart Lock Fingerprint Apple Home Key HomeKit Keyless Deadbolt Gray
The Aqara U100 suits an entry plan built around Apple Home Key and HomeKit rather than a camera-led door lock. Fingerprint access is also named in the title, while the included hardware and key provide tangible components for the listed package. Its universal/reversible handing broadens its stated door-hand orientation, and the gray matte finish gives it a defined contemporary appearance. Pick Aqara when you want a dedicated deadbolt as the non-negotiable part of the installation. The limitation is its specific gray, matte configuration: shoppers committed to the black CAMCAMP handle style are choosing a different visual and hardware format.
Smart Lock with Camera & Handle Fingerprint Keyless Door Lock WiFi APP Control
CAMCAMP is designed for shoppers who want the camera, handle, and fingerprint functions consolidated at the door. The title pairs WiFi app control with its keyless-lock format, and the listed feature set adds a touchscreen keypad, two-way audio, smartphone compatibility, and a self-closing function. This is the compelling direction for an entry that needs multiple control methods and an integrated visitor-facing component. Its trade-off is equally specific: the lock is a handle-mounted black model that requires AA batteries. That makes it a different fit from Aqara's gray deadbolt arrangement and Apple-focused naming.
Final choice by use case
- Choose Aqara U100 when a dedicated deadbolt is your priority and Apple Home Key/HomeKit are the features that shape your smart-home setup.
- Choose CAMCAMP when a touchscreen keypad and one-time code capability are central to how you want to manage entry.
The price range is narrow, so the decision is less about the $11.39 gap and more about choosing the lock format and control set that best match your door.
