Should You Trust A Biometric Safe
So you know you need a security safe for your home, but are still undecided on what type of safe to buy. Lost in the sea of fireproof, burglar resistant, in-wall, in-floor models, you then have to decide what type of safe will work best for your needs. Do you choose a combination lock that has been the standard for hundreds or years, an electronic lock with reprogrammable passwords, or one of those futuristic biometric models? They look cool, but are they really reliable? The answer is yes!
Biometric security has been around for a long time in government and high security applications; however, up until about 5 years ago the technology was not easily found in consumer products. Early adapters complained about unreliable readings and cheap products made from overseas, but there is good news. Biometric technology has truly been perfected and provides near perfect accuracy and reliability – which it should. If you're going to protect your most valuable assets in a security safe, you need to trust that you're safe won't fail you when you need access. Let's take a minute and have a closer look at biometric safes.
Biometric safes operate just like any traditional safe; however, instead of having an electronic PIN or combination lock, the safe is accessed with a simple scan of a fingerprint. The safe records users by enrolling their fingerprints into its database. Once a user has been enrolled they can access the safe by scanning their fingerprint on the biometric scanner.
Most biometric safes are powered on a small set of batteries (traditionally AA). With average use, most safes provide 4-6 months of power on a single charge of batteries. What's better is that many biometric safes typically include a key override and a spot to connect a battery externally in the event of a power failure or you forget to change the batteries. Many units such as those from Protex provide audible alerts to notify you when its time to charge the batteries!
So what about the security? Will a biometric safe provide the same protection of its traditional counterparts? Again, the answer is yes! In fact, many biometric models use the same steel construction, hinges, and anchoring materials and the lock is installed by the manufacturer instead of a combination or digital PIN.
As advances in technology grow, biometrics is becoming more widely accepted in daily use. Look for this amazing technology to be coming to more products you find around your house including security safes.
If you're considering a biometric safe, be sure to look at popular brands like Sentry, Protex, Smarttouch, or Tychi Systems. Most of these manufacturers have several biometric models to provide you with the ultimate in security, technology, and ease-of use.

Agree? "If I am not free to break a rule, I am not free to obey a rule, and thus not free."?
I am thinking of how things are changing in the workplace; the dehumanizing aspects of greater and greater electronic surveillance of employees, having them clock in with biometric hand-prints, etc. What is the limit in where an employer can control a free human being? After all, if we are not free to make the right choice, how can it be called a choice? How can we as moral beings take credit for making the right choice?
You are free to break a rule, and your employer is free to fire you for it.
Your morality plays a role in if you decide to do something immoral and collect a paycheck for it, or to not do it and be fired for it.
You are free to that extent, but watch out; you are trending closely to the idea that your job locks you into your paycheck and oppreses you with it.
That's the kinda of attitude that'll get you called a Marxist. Not by me, but by many.
