Vaults and Safes

As a gun owner and parent, I have always taken precautions to ensure that my children do not have access to guns. Still, stories in the news of children breaking locks or thieves using an owner’s weapon against them got me thinking about taking more precautions. After some research, I decided to invest in a biometric safe.

A biometric safe is a type of electronic gun safe. It’s electronic in the sense that it uses an electronic locking mechanism instead of a purely mechanical one. A biometric safe only opens to the owner’s fingerprint. Now I know for sure that I am the only person who has access to firearms inside of my home.

Unfortunately, criminals are becoming increasingly crafty about how they can get their hands on our hard-earned belongings. What this means is that even with basic precautions, these criminals are still able to find ways into our homes or cars. Because these criminals are becoming smarter about getting around locks and other diversions, we must also become smarter to combat their devious methods.

Heist movies may make it seem like it’s easy for criminals to crack a safe, but the reality is that most of the thieves who enter your home will not have the technology or the knowhow to infiltrate a high-tech containment system. The electronic safes on the market today are remarkably foolproof. While keeping your most prized possessions outside of your home is advisable, these safes can adequately protect any valuables you need to keep stowed at home.

The last couple of weeks I’ve experienced a string of break-ins at my business. Admittedly, we aren’t in the nicest part of town; frankly, I’m a little surprised it’s taken this long for the local vandals to hone in on us. All of my employees are family members, so I can trust them, but something has to be done to add some extra security to the facility.

I’ve installed a couple of security cameras around the facility, but having a perp on camera is little solace after they’ve made out with your valuables. To that end, I also invested in a new office safe, which only I know the combination to. Until the break-ins subside, I can’t be too careful.

If you ever seen a heist movie, you’ve undoubtedly seen a set of criminals crack a high-tech safe without breaking a sweat. I don’t know about you, but these movies gave me the initial impression that picking locks and cracking safes was child’s play. I mean, if these state-of-the-art models can be solved in mere seconds, it probably doesn’t take much effort to get through a home safe, right?

In actuality, an electronic safe in your home is one of the most failsafe means of protecting your most important possessions. There is a plethora of electronic safe options available today, including biometric models that use your unique physical characteristics to ensure no one can crack the code.

Electronic safes are the latest in electronic security.  Basically one of two types, they are also more convenient than traditional mechanical safes.  The two available types are electronic keypad and biometric.  An electronic keypad safe uses a keypad like the one found on an ATM machine - you enter a PIN number on the keypad to open the safe.  A biometric safe uses a fingerprint scanner to grant access to the safe.

Electronic safes also allow you to grant access to multiple persons using different PIN numbers (or fingerprints).  This allows you to view a report that shows when the safe was accessed and by whom.  This feature is called audit trail, and provides an extra level of security for your business.  In addition, it is easy to remove access to someone when they leave your employ - you  don’t have to change the lock or the combination like you do with a mechanical safe.  For more information on electronic safes.

The electronic safe is much more versatile than a mechanical one.  There are basically two types of electronic safes - electronic keypad and biometric.  The electronic keypad is opened by entering a pin number on an electronic keypad similar to the ones found on ATM machines.  A biometric safe uses a fingerprint scanner to grant access.

The versatility of an electronic safe is enhanced by the fact that you can enroll multiple users with different pin numbers (or fingerprints).  This accomplishes several things.  It lets you provide access to more than one person without giving out the only key or combination to the safe.  This means you can track who opens the safe and when.  In addition, if someone leaves your employ, you can delete their pin number or fingerprint so that  they no longer have access to the safe.  For more information on the electronic safe.
