All my locks are bypassable by breaking my window. All locks are pickable, all electronic locks are hackable.
My locks don’t look any different between “locked” and “unlocked” except by carefully looking down the door jam. It’s just a keyhole in a door. A camera pointed at the door doesn’t solve the problem I am trying to solve.
Thank you for your input though.

The interior of your door cannot be a key lock like that due to code. The camera would be inside your home pointing at it. Most locks indeed have a locking mechanism from the inside that turns by hand, due to code standard.
You can’t actually stop people from breaking in. You can deter them and sue them afterwards for damages if caught. If they really want to, they can hack in a wall with an axe and bypass doors and locks altogether. Dogs, lights, and neighbors work great as deterants. So do cameras. Cameras also help with identifying them and proving a case to insurance. Your homeowner’s/renter’s insurance actually may be affected by an electronic lock vs a mechanical lock, and things like cameras and security systems.
Also, you’re weird af in your responses just fyi

I am one of the dozens of people that do not live in your city, as such suffer different laws. Also my house is older than any such laws. I implore you to think that perhaps I know my locks better than you. So again, I’ll ask the question you avoided: is that lock open or closed? You didn’t answer the question.
Your second paragraph is just telling me things I’ve been telling you. Yes, if someone want in they’re coming in, the electronic lock isn’t for that, I’ve repeated that almost every comment. So I’ll ask you a second question: what do you believe the second lock is for? I don’t think you know despite me repeating that and infinitum too.
A camera inside the house isn’t visible and as such can’t act as a deterrent, it doesn’t even solve the problem you posted. Again, imagine for a minute, that I know the layout of my house better than you.

Okay, so that last picture - that knob has 2 positions for locked vs unlocked, which whomever owns the lock presumably would know upon visual inspection. Like how every lock like that works. Are you human?
The rest of that… I go back to my previous point regarding fires and needing a key to exit. Changing a mechanical lock is simple and I’d never keep a lock like that on my door, along with most normal and sane people who can critically think. Housing codes were written in blood.

Incorrect, thats my lock it spins more than 360 degrees. I’ll prove it

I swapped its state. Is the first picture locked, or the second? Your arrogance is astonishing.
What’s my current SHTF plan and why do you believe it’s insufficient?

That’s nice, if I changed it to the above lock, would the first picture be locked? Or the second? Please answer you’ve tre to evade the question a number of times now. I’ve given you the lock you want, I’ve shown you locked and unlocked states.
Second question you’ve ignored: what, in you’re understanding, is the problem I am trying to solve? How do seeing intruders faces solve it?
You can’t keep ignoring me to assert your position, that’s not a conversation. A conversation is back and forth, you didn’t lie the lock, I showed one you like. You didn’t like only having one state, I’ve shown you both. I tell you you’re not listening to the problem I want to solve, you continue to solve a different problem.
Quit it.
