False negatives cause the lock not to open when an authorized person tries to use it. Do you happen to work for a gun safe manufacturer? Fingerprint biometric sensors have similar specifications. Also a reader Carl made a great point in a comment on another post. Home defense gun safes have dual, competing requirements for access. I’ve read your article BUT I can’t help but ask your feeling on two models. Imported from outside the United States, the safe will not scratch any jewelry or firearms placed inside. I have entire articles dedicated to cheap gun safe alternatives which, if followed, actually reduce gun safe sales. It uses simple, standard algorithms and inexpensive sensors. Spend more time with your children to keep them safe rather than more money on safes that probably aren’t that much harder to break into.

I have enough money to buy a biometric safe but would that be my best option? They need to be cheap because they’re as easy to steal as a lunchbox.” Again, totally agree, which is why “I recommend gun safes without biometrics” and stress the importance of bolting down all gun safes. Found insideReprint of the original, first published in 1869. For you to summarily state that any consumer safe with a biometric lock is inadequate is just lazy. On the other hand a quick-access gun safe must reliably open when you or your family are in “immediate danger of death or grievously bodily harm.” That’s the common self-defense standard in the US, and by definition it means lives are on the line if it doesn’t work.  These can all cause issues with a biometric fingerprint scanner, especially a low quality one. The text introduces the challenges and risks of computer crimes, hacking, and cyberterrorism. It also presents some of the most current research on virtual communities, global IS work solutions, and social networking. “For small safes, there is no reason to buy one that cost [sic] more than the gun it holds. The latest electronics rarely make it more than a few years before winding up in the trash. NO ADDITIONAL COST: You pay $0 for repairs - parts, labor and shipping included. With respect to reliably giving access in a self defense situation, I insist on military-grade everything. Just because I was becoming uncomfortable in how old the batteries were. Some programs require Nuclear / EMP Survivability and Radiation Hardness. The key locks can often be opened with a standard screwdriver or strip of metal. A reader commented below questioning if an average homeowner really needs the same security as military applications. Locks certainly won’t. This is why many units recommend enrolling multiple fingers in the lock. %%EOF Either way, lives are on the line. I’ll keep my eye on the maturity of this technology. When the need arises for quick access to my pistol, possibly in the middle of the night, it’s going to be a high-stress situation. Conservation practitioners, policy-makers, and the wider general public eager to understand more about important environmental issues will also find this book invaluable. Cheap product manufacturers know that most online buyers fill out their product review within the first month. It’s clear to me that you are obviously a paid blogger for Fort Knox Safe Co., otherwise you would have selected a different photo of a push button safe for this post, one free of a manufacturers brand displayed on the photo. “Finger print detection is not in its infancy.” Some years have elapsed since I first wrote “infancy”.

A little water splash will send you back to the Apple Store. We, at Heritage Safe Company, assist you in keeping your guns, precious jewelry and other valuables safe from thieves, fire and other perils. A boring-looking but sturdy steel box with a reliable mechanical lock is less interesting to a child to play with after school than a fancy electronic beeping biometric device with blinking lights. Many biometric handgun safes are nearly as expensive as better options, but not nearly as well built. The growing concern over the number of accidental firearm shootings, especially those involving children, prompted passage of the initial handgun safety law which went into effect in 1994. Sometimes your prototypes come back from Shock & Vibe testing rattling, because parts were completely shaken off the circuit boards.  Biometric locks take 1 to 2 seconds.  Not much in my opinion, although some readers have expressed their opinions below. At the price point of typical biometric handgun safes, I recommend mechanical Simplex locks or gun safe alternatives. These are a consumer product and quality control can vary. Fundamental security issues on devices with cheap fingerprint readers aren't just limited to gun safes. MythBusters was able to trick a commercial biometric fingerprint lock a number of ways. By the way, your comments about “standard algorithms”, programming “9 other fingers”, and “PM plan” demonstrate industry experience.

Likewise, I do not recommend Fort Knox’s full-size gun safes for clearly defined objective reasons like steel thickness and fireproofing for the money. Operating Temperature ranges for economy electronics are usually 0 to 85 °C or lower. Also, biometric handgun safes are electronic and run on batteries. Cheers, Jaime. Readers will decide for themselves. Their are tricks to making them very reliable such as scanning each finger you want to use several times at slightly different angles so that if you don’t get a clean press it should still open for you. In other cases they just mashing skin against it until it unlocks. Those employing guns for self-defense are understandably attentive to preventing jams, double-feeds, stovepipes, failures to feed, etc.. A system is no better than the weakest link, and the probabilities of failure compound. Let’s talk about the technology of the locks themselves. I would like to address your critique.

Increasing the temperature rating buys you lifetime; in the same environment, 125 °C rated parts last longer than 85 °C ones. I can respect a well thought out opinion, but this is garbage. Sure enough, search for “fingerprint hack” on YouTube and you’ll find a bunch. The article is definitely biased, as it’s a review/recommendation. People who use a firearm for self-defense are understandably very sensitive to failures (jams, stovepipe, failure to feed). I can respect a well thought out opinion, but this is garbage.

During selection of electronic parts, MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) requirements must be met through design analysis, which limits parts selection. If that happens I just try again and it works. A range of temperature specifications such as Storage Temperature, Operation Temperature, and often Temperature Slew will be required for military electronics. A 50% chance of opening the lock then requires over 16,900 hours or 706 straight days. Regardless if you are trying to sell something or not there were a ton of good points and I like to think I as most gun owners are independent thinking and can weigh out the pros and cons.
