Wall safes have become a popular alternative to traditional floor safes because of their ability to be hidden as well as providing the same level of protection as their traditional counterparts. New advances in technology have made these sought after safes even more secure and that much cooler. There are now versions available that are not opened with a combination or a key but with the touch of your finger. A biometric wall safe is one of the most innovative and secure forms of protection available to consumers. They can be economical as well as readily available from a variety of retailers.
In the past, things like fingerprint and retina scanning were for spies and people with tons of money for the relatively new technology. Now biometric locks and safes can be purchased for far less allowing consumers to have access to this unique and secure technology that is more advanced than a regular key safe. Biometrics is the methods by which machines can identify a person based only on physical characteristics and/or behavior. While the science can be significantly more complicated than this, the basic idea is that safes and locks use memories of a user’s fingerprints to identify them and allow access to the contents of a safe. Many models of a biometric gun safe can store multiple finger prints and can also sometimes have a combination lock working in tandem with biometric features.
Prices for these types of security appliances range from 200 to 700 dollars for a consumer grade unit. Models in this price range can be installed by the purchaser who has some knowledge of construction, finish work and the intricacies of how to secure a large object so that it cannot be moved by conventional means, for example picking a safe up and walking away with it. Consumer wall safes will have hardware as well as pre-drilled holes for attachment between studs of a wall. After finish work is completed and bolts and washers installed, the safe will be incredibly difficult to remove without correct tools and ample time, two things most thieves don’t have.
Biometrics has even been applied to key safes for consumer use. Common key safe boxes use a combination code which has the potential to be lost or stolen and even guessed. A biometric key safe box will always open for its user without a combination and there is not combination to be lost or compromised.
