Vault Fortress Vision Push Pull Smart Lock with Video Intercom
The Vault Fortress Vision is the Fortress push-pull smart lock enhanced with a built-in indoor display screen, two-way video intercom, and integrated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. See who is at your door from the screen inside or from the app, speak with visitors, receive real-time notifications, and answer the door remotely from anywhere - all without a separate gateway.
Part of Vault's signature range, the Fortress Vision combines advanced 3D facial recognition with fingerprint, PIN code, Bluetooth, RFID card, mechanical key, and app control in a modern long-body push-pull format.
Its smart mortice format suits hinged-door applications where a full-featured entry lock is required, now with on-device video and remote answering. It is the video-intercom variant of the Vault Fortress; the lever Guardian Vision and the deadbolt Nexus Vision complete the Vision range.
Usually ships in 3 business days.
Built-in Video Intercom & Wi-Fi
The Fortress Vision adds a two-way video intercom and a built-in indoor display screen to the Fortress push-pull platform. See and speak with visitors at your door - from the screen inside or from the Vault app.
With integrated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, you receive real-time notifications and can answer the door remotely from anywhere - no separate gateway required.
Wi-Fi is built into this lock, so remote unlocking, activity notifications and the video intercom all work over a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network with nothing extra to add. There is no need to buy a separate Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway, so you save that added hardware cost and the extra setup step that a Bluetooth-only lock needs for remote access.
Note: The video below shows the base Vault Fortress model. The Fortress Vision variant adds an internal video display screen and an external fish-eye camera lens for the two-way video intercom; all other hardware and functions are the same.

Wi-Fi Remote Access & Video Intercom
Unlike the standard Fortress, the Fortress Vision has built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Remote access, real-time notifications and the two-way video intercom all work without a separate gateway.
See and speak with visitors from the built-in indoor screen or from the Vault app, answer the door from anywhere, and add Alexa or Google Home functionality on supported systems.
The lock also operates locally over Bluetooth, so face recognition, fingerprint, PIN, RFID and mechanical key entry keep working even if the internet is down.
This lock includes a mechanical key override to ensure access remains available if batteries are low or electronic access cannot be used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. It uses 3D facial recognition (50 face profiles per the supplied manual), alongside the other access methods.
It has a built-in indoor display screen and a fish-eye door camera, and built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi - so the two-way video intercom, remote access and notifications all work with no separate gateway. See our guide to what a gateway does. The deadbolt Nexus Vision delivers its intercom through the app only (no screen).
The IP66 rating applies to the external (outside) module only; the internal module (screen, battery, electronics) is for interior use.
No. Vault smart locks are not certified for fire-rated doors. For Queensland fire door compliance requirements, see Chapter 05 of our Buyer's Guide.
The Fortress push-pull range uses the Vault Fortress Innovative Mortice. Confirm your door's preparation and thickness before ordering.
Yes. Sending door photos before purchase is recommended. See our installation guide and our guide to common mistakes.
Additional Information
The Fortress Vision is the video-intercom variant of the standard Vault Fortress push-pull lock, adding an indoor display screen, a fish-eye camera and built-in Wi-Fi. If you do not need the camera or screen, the standard Fortress offers the same biometric access. See the Vault brand profile.
Fortress Vision is one of three Vision models with an on-device experience. The lever Guardian Vision also has an indoor screen; the deadbolt Nexus Vision is app-only (no screen). For the full lineup, see the Vault smart lock range overview.
Deploying facial recognition in a commercial, strata, or managed rental setting may trigger obligations under the Australian Privacy Act. Review these requirements before installation.
The Fortress is a push-pull smart mortice lock and uses the Vault Fortress Innovative Mortice. Compatibility should be checked against the actual door preparation - see our guide to common hardware and backset selection mistakes.
The IP66 rating applies to the external (outside) module only. Correct installation and ongoing maintenance still matter, particularly in coastal Queensland environments where salt air accelerates wear.
Powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, with a mechanical key backup for all power conditions. For charge-cycle expectations, see our guide to smart lock battery life.
Fortress is better suited to households or properties needing several credential types (face, fingerprint, PIN, RFID, key and app) rather than single-user keypad access alone.

Vault Warranty
Vault Smart Locks products are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential or commercial use. All claims are handled locally by Terry’s Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites, trading names, and subsidiaries – start with us and we’ll manage the process with Vault on your behalf.

- Have your product model and serial number (if applicable) ready, along with a brief description of the fault and your installation address.
- We assess your claim with Vault and advise the outcome and next steps. You may be asked to return the product for inspection.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover
- Normal wear and tear.
- Cosmetic damage that does not affect performance.
- Damage caused by incorrect installation, misuse, neglect, modification, or accident.
- Damage due to improper handling, or installation by an unlicensed technician.
- Products that have been disassembled, tampered with, or where the security seal or warranty label has been removed.

Important Notes
Where a Vault product carries an Ingress Protection (IP) rating, that rating is stated on the individual product listing, packaging or technical documentation. Unless stated otherwise in writing, the IP rating applies only to the external-facing side of the lock – not to the internal assembly, handle, battery compartment, electronics, cables or connectors. The internal side must be installed in a dry, sheltered position. An IP rating describes water resistance, not waterproofing: the lock must not be submerged, pressure washed, or exposed beyond its stated rating, and all seals, gaskets and covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged.
Vault’s manufacturer policy applies a warranty assessment holding fee, which is refundable if the fault is found to be covered under warranty. If a product is assessed as outside warranty or damaged by an excluded cause, a discounted replacement may be offered. We will confirm any applicable fees and options with you before any assessment proceeds.
Your Rights Under Australian Consumer Law
This warranty is provided in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure, and to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
