The best match for a gate lock with camera depends on whether you need an outdoor fence lock or a camera-equipped entry lock for a standard door. The Smart Gate Lock is the only listed product specifically described for outdoor fence gates, but it has no camera. The camera-equipped options combine a lock and visitor monitoring, but their details describe door installation rather than gate use. Check the installation requirements before choosing.

Smart Gate Lock For Outdoor Fence Gates
Best for: Buyers who prioritize access control on an outdoor fence gate and can use a separate camera if video monitoring is needed. It is the clearest gate-specific option in this selection, with fingerprint, IC card, PIN, app, and mechanical-key access.
The lock is described as stainless steel and aluminum, with automatic re-locking, entry history, low-battery alerts, and temporary or unlimited-use PIN options through the TUYA app. Its stated fit range is 1.38 to 2.9 inches thick, and the included square bolt can be trimmed to fit.
Limitation: A camera is not listed, so this product does not meet the camera requirement by itself. App setup requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, not 5 GHz.
myQ Secure View 3-In-1 Smart Lock
Best for: Buyers seeking a combined smart deadbolt, video doorbell, and camera with face access. The listed features include 2K HDR video, a wide-angle lens, color night vision, remote locking and unlocking, visitor viewing, and motion or doorbell alerts in the myQ app.
Face access is intended to unlock the entry without a key or phone when hands are full. This combination makes it a strong choice for someone who wants both entry control and visual visitor alerts in one device.
Limitation: The product is described as a smart deadbolt and doorbell, not an outdoor fence-gate lock. Confirm that the intended installation is appropriate before considering it for a gate.
Nyboer WiFi Video Keypad Door Lock
Best for: Households, guest access, or rentals where several unlocking methods are useful. Its listed options include fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, app, voice control, and a backup key. The built-in camera and video doorbell provide real-time visitor viewing and phone alerts.
The removable rechargeable battery is described as providing up to eight months of everyday use, with low-battery alerts. That stated duration may help buyers compare battery arrangements, but actual use can vary.
Limitation: The listing describes a door lock, not a fence-gate lock. It does not specify camera resolution in the supplied product details.
1080p Smart Door Lock With Night Vision
Best for: Buyers who want fingerprint entry and a camera specified for low-light viewing. This model lists a 1080p HD camera, enhanced IR night vision, two-way audio, fingerprint recognition, and capacity for up to 100 fingerprints and 100 long-term passcodes.
Other listed features include dual 2500mAh lithium batteries, low-battery app alerts, and anti-peeping password technology that allows random digits before the actual code. These details make it a useful comparison for family access and nighttime visitor monitoring.
Limitation: It is described as a front-door smart lock, with no stated outdoor-gate fit information. The supplied details do not identify a specific Wi-Fi band or gate-installation method.
S398 Video Smart Lock With Indoor Monitor
Best for: Buyers who want to see visitors on an indoor display without relying on a smartphone. The listed system combines a 720P HD camera, two-way video doorbell, indoor display monitor, and fingerprint scanner that stores up to 100 fingerprints.
Six stated unlocking methods include fingerprint, numeric PIN, remote app control, voice commands with Alexa or Google Assistant, key fob, and physical backup key. The indoor monitor may be useful for household members who prefer a dedicated screen.
Limitation: The listing describes a Wi-Fi deadbolt and door installation, not a fence-gate lock. Its camera is listed as 720P HD, a lower stated resolution than the 1080p and 2K options above.
Buying Guide
Do you need a true gate lock or a camera-equipped door lock?
Start with the installation location. The Smart Gate Lock is explicitly described for outdoor fence gates, but its listed features do not include a camera. The other four products combine cameras and locks but are described as door locks or deadbolts. Do not assume a door lock will fit a gate; check the gate’s thickness, latch arrangement, exposure, and mounting requirements against the product specifications.
Which camera features matter most?
Compare resolution and low-light features stated in the listings. The myQ model specifies 2K HDR and color night vision; another model specifies 1080p HD and enhanced IR night vision; the S398 lists 720P HD. The Nyboer listing confirms a built-in camera but does not state its resolution. Two-way audio is listed for the 1080p model, while the myQ and S398 list visitor communication features.
Which access methods fit your household?
Fingerprint and PIN access can reduce dependence on physical keys, while cards, key fobs, app controls, and backup keys offer other ways to enter. For multiple residents or guests, compare the stated fingerprint or passcode capacity and whether temporary codes or entry logs are listed. Consider who will manage access and whether remote control depends on a specific app or network setup.
What should you check before installation?
Verify dimensions and mounting compatibility before ordering. The Smart Gate Lock lists a 1.38-to-2.9-inch thickness range and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi requirement for app setup. The other products’ supplied details do not establish that they fit outdoor gates. Also compare battery information, backup entry methods, and whether the product’s described camera and alerts match your monitoring needs.
