I am currently considering buying a smart lock for my front door. I was keen on hearing experiences from you folks.
One of the options is the Native Lock pro from UC. But it seems like I have to use the UC clap for it. I dont want to be looking at their services everytime I open the app.
Other option is to get a Qubo smart door camera along with their lock since its the same app it’ll be easier to monitor both.
Hoping to hear from recommendations or experience with the two above.
Smartlocks are the most easy to break in. Consider this before getting one.
Do you wish to elaborate and share sources?
Go to youtube and search for “LockPickingLawyer smart locks”. You will find smart locks from different brands cracked in minutes.
Not sure if I am missing something…
I saw a couple of videos but the attack vector on them was traditional lockpicking - and it succeeded because the “smartlocks” in question used old school lock mechanism for the backup physical key mechanism.
This has nothing to do with the smart aspect of the lock ..As with traditional locks, you should pick a smartlock with a good mechanical core else it obviously won’t be secure otherwise
For the OP, if your budget permits, get Yale . I have been using Yale YDM7116 for many years now and pretty happy with it.
We also installed a much lower cost Godrej smartlock at another house. Now Godrej also uses the same smart core as most of the other examples you mentioned (Tuya) but the mortise mechanism and key type on the godrej did seem to be good
Yale lock cracked in different ways by the LockPickingLawyer
+1 for Yale.
Avoid chinese brands for anything related to home security.
That guy’s an expert. He can crack almost any commercially available lock. Not everyone can, so you should be safe with 99% of expensive locks in the market.
What if the modern day thieves and the burglars are his top subscribers ? Then what do we do
They can be top subscribers all they want, doesn’t mean they’ll have that skill. If they did, they’d earn more making YouTube videos.
Realistically though, if the theif is an expert then no lock is a challenge to them, smartlock or traditional. You will still have CCTVs with motion detection for security.
I would recommed Qubo as their structure is good, i use camera, door bell and door lock
i hope you house is part of a community ? if not please consider additional lock which will be used when you aretravlelling or nobody is there or for night time 
Remember, locks are only to protect from the honest ones.
If you live in apartments then the smart locks are good, if you live in row houses or independent houses then maybe not so much.
Locks are just deterrents and someone with a battering door ram can break apart the door itself irrespective of how many locks you have. https://www.holmatro.com/en/door-ram-dr200st. So pick one which is not easy to pick. 
I do not have a specific recommendation, though I have seen my friend use Qubo one with cam and it has worked really well for them. I would consider it myself if I were ever in the market for it.
So with Qubo there isn’t a lock with inbuilt camera. You have get that their lock and camera separately but it works well from the same app so thats good I guess.
Check what would happen in case of loss of power supply. You may get locked out of your home.
I’ve been using a Godrej one for a few years and it works quite well so far. It’s an electronic lock and not a smart one. Uses 8 AA batteries. Can use a code, fingerprint, RFID and a key
Talk about implementing 3 factor authentication on your home door. These smart locks must be stuff of dreams for all security administrators.
Instead of a smart lock. I would suggest a smart doorbell which just notifies you. Smart locks are bad.
Got urban company native lock pro in this sale, camera works pretty well
you are missing the point i am trying to make.
These picks that he demonstrated have nothing to do with the Smart aspect of the lock .
This example too demonstrates how his tools can beat the traditional notches on the backup key on a cheap Yale.
In other words, if you pick a low security/ low cost physical lock mechanism, the security you get will be low tier - regardless of whether the lock is traditional or smart.
Your argument being Smart locks are inherently less safe than comparable traditional will need a demonstration of the smart / electronic segment of the lock being bypassed - isn’t it?
Higher tier locks, whether traditional or smart do not use low cost notched physical key mechanisms.
