Hello everyone.

For an offer for a front door, I was offered the ENTRASys system from Sommer (Groke). Now I am wondering how secure such a system is, as it transmits data wirelessly. According to the manufacturer, it offers the highest security because it is encrypted with a so-called Somloq rolling code. Can anyone say anything about this?
I would probably prefer a wired version, where the fingerprint sensor is not installed in the door, but external.
Thank you very much

There are also fingerprint systems that are built into the door and still wired. Of course, this is easiest if you get a completely new front door (e.g., new construction). Radio frequency is rather a retrofit option in the mentioned system and would also mean that the device runs on batteries and can eventually (e.g., at the worst possible moment) run out of power. Any radio signal can theoretically be intercepted, but who would bother? The patio door can still be pried open or broken in much more easily and cheaply (no expensive technical aids necessary).

There is also a longer thread on this topic here.
