Lockitron has just outed a new cellphone-controlled [keyless entry](http://www.engadget.com/tag/keyless+entry/) system, sporting a raft of features and wireless options. The WiFi-connected product mounts over your existing deadbolt "in seconds," according to the company, and lets you or those you trust control your lock from anywhere in the world over the internet. You can also unlock your door without lifting a finger if you have an iPhone 4S or 5, as the Lockitron will sense your approach using [Bluetooth 4.0](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/12/iphone-4s-claims-title-of-first-bluetooth-4-0-smartphone-ready/) -- a feature that may extend to [NFC](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/visa-lets-iphone-toting-natwest-and-rbs-customers-pay-with-nfc/) and Android devices in the future too. To top it off, the system can notify you when a friend or relative returns home, and it has a knock sensor to let you know if someone's come by to visit. Lockitron has already exceeded its self-imposed minimum order limit by 250 percent, so if you'd like to reserve yours at the $149 limited time price and get it for March 2013, hit the source.
