I feel pretty awesome when I come home, because I know that I don’t have to mess with unlocking my front door. I just pull into the garage, and walk in. Now if I had a really cool way to open my door, I might just find more reasons to park outside. I mean, if you had a facial recognition system, wouldn’t you want to use it all the time?

Check out this new Facial Recognition Time Attendance System and Access Door Lock (you’d never guess what it did from the name) from Chinavision. It sports a pair of night vision cameras which use advanced 3D imaging to map your face in less than a second. Sure, it’s primary function is logging worker’s attendance, but it does also unlock doors. So for $456, you could have the most badass front door lock in the whole town.

However, it seems that the version that is being offered by Chinavision, called the USB Fingerprint Security Lock Flash Disk, is one of a kind, due to its very affordable price. This is the reason why it is considered to be one of the cheapest that you can find right now in the market.

What should be disquieting for some of those who are looking for extra security is that the price is (or at least it should be) in accordance with the quality.

The device comes with a storage capacity of 8GB, which is quite good, and with a strap, for those who are always losing their things, as much as they’re trying to be careful. A great advantage is that you’ll be able to easily and simply set it up and you won’t have to resort to all sorts of special software.

The USB Fingerprint Security Lock Flash Disk is available right now at Chinavision for a price of 26.68 EUR each.

But if you don’t care very much about fashion and you have never wanted to be a trend setter or to follow the trends imposed by others, then this solar vest is perfect for you. And if you aren’t sure about it being a solar vest, just like I said, you should take something else for granted: the big letters all written across the shoulders that let you know that you’re not dealing with a regular vest.

The letters are placed above the four solar panels which are all weatherproof and provide enough juice for your devices: the cell phone, the media player, the notebook computer, the digital camera or any other portable device that you might own.

“It comes with big storage pockets for holding tools or camera equipment and includes a battery pack + cables and connectors for all of today’s popular portable electronics. The vest’s canvas is soft but durable and the stitching is second to none. The vest’s 4 solar panels are laminated to be truly weatherproof, so you don’t have to change this vest just because the weather is bad. You can also detach the solar panels and place them in sunlight while you are working inside a cave or shaded terrain.”

The four panels have an 8,800 mAh capacity and there are multiple connectors and 5V, 6V, 9V, 12-20V output. You can buy the vest equipped with the four portable solar panels from Chinavision for $140.

Anyway, if you also have the tendency to forget where your car is, you should know that bright people have thought of a solution: the Travel Honey GPS Location Finder, which is being offered by Chinavision. It was especially designed to help you never lose your car again and to let you know there’s nothing wrong with it.

The only thing you should do in order to get your car back is to let yourself guided by the red LED. In the moment you reach a distance of no more than 50 meters from the saved location, you’ll see a flashing arrow that will turn blue when you’ll be within 15 meters. In addition, the gadget comes with another interesting feature: it is able to convert your computer into a genuine GPS system, by just connecting it to the USB port of your computer.

The data logger function of this device can be used when you want to record the GPS information during a trip, such as position, speed and altitude, which you’ll be able to see on Google Maps or Google Earth as soon as you establish the connection between the dongle and your computer and the you make use of the software package included, called iTravel Data Logger.

So, you’ll have a four-in-one functionality that is, in fact, a mixture between: GPS receiver, Location Finder, Data Logger and Photo Tagger. The last one allows you to share the pictures that are immediately geo-tagged with your loved ones, on Flickr.

The Travel Honey is available at Chinavision for $54.
