Access options for your household
C1
Choose C1 when fingerprint, passcode and card access cover your everyday needs, and you prefer a familiar lever handle.
V5 Face
Choose V5 when face recognition and an indoor visitor screen matter. Its taller panels need more door space. Nova confirms the supplied version’s suitability for the doorway and its weather exposure.

V5 is 51 mm taller; both panels are 70 mm wide. C1’s width excludes the sideways handle span. Its 67 mm side profile includes the handle. V5’s English drawing rounds front and rear depth to 56 mm (detailed figures: 55.9 / 56.2 mm). These are external panel measurements, not door cutout or mortise sizes.
Specification notes & sources
This comparison covers V5 Face, not V5 Eyes. Nova checks door thickness, the lock body, existing cutouts, handing and clearances before confirming either lock. Weather suitability needs confirmation for each supplied version and doorway; ORVIBO’s V5 guidance cautions against direct rain. App, NFC and intercom functions depend on the supplied version and compatible devices.
