A door system includes a door jamb, a door panel including a box disposed therealong, a hinge coupling an edge of the door panel to the door jamb, a flexible conduit extending from the door jamb to the edge of the door panel, and a plurality of electronic components. The flexible conduit is configured to facilitate electrically coupling one or more of the plurality of electronic components to an external power source. The plurality of electronic components include a camera disposed within the box, a light integrated into the door jam, a sensor configured to facilitate detecting at least one of sound or activity proximate the door panel, and a backup battery disposed within at least one of the door jamb or the door panel. The backup battery is configured to power at least one of the plurality of electronic components during power loss from the external power source.

Electronic door system

A door system includes a door jamb, a door panel, a window disposed in the door panel, a plurality of electronic components, a hinge pivotally coupling an edge of the door panel to the door jamb, and a control system disposed within the door panel. The plurality of electronic components include an electronic locking mechanism coupled to the door panel, a camera coupled to the door panel, a sensor configured to facilitate detecting at least one of sound or activity proximate the door panel, and a backup battery disposed in at least one of the door jamb or the door panel. The edge of the door panel is configured to receive power from an external power source to power the plurality of electronic components. The backup battery is configured to power at least one of the plurality of electronic components in an event of power loss from the external power source.

A door assembly includes a door slab, an electronic component embedded in the door slab, and electric wiring connected to the electronic component. The door slab includes a frame defining a cavity, a core disposed within the cavity, a front door skin disposed along a front side of the frame, and a rear door skin disposed along a rear side of the frame. The front door skin and the rear door skin enclose the core within the cavity. The frame has a hinged edge configured to be pivotally coupled to a door jamb. The electric wiring is connected to the electronic component and routed through the door slab to the hinged edge to facilitate electrically coupling the electronic component to an external power source.

Integrated electronic entry door systems

A locking system includes a server, an electronic locking mechanism, and a controller associated with a user. The controller is configured to detect the electronic locking mechanism and acquire lock data therefrom, and transmit the lock data to the server. The server, absent any interaction from the user, is configured to receive the lock data for the electronic locking mechanism, register the electronic locking mechanism to the user, and transmit an access credential for accessing the electronic locking mechanism to a user device associated with the user. The electronic locking mechanism is configured to receive the access credential directly from the user device or indirectly from the user device through the controller and make an access decision based on the access credential, independent of the server.
