Give Intruders the Finger
At least that’s the caption that GunVault applies to the product description of their MultiVault Biometric Home Vault:
The GVB2000 Bio uses biometrics, specifically fingerprint recognition, to access the safe contents. A high-performance algorithm is used to acheive speedy identification of enrolled fingerprints; and at the same time has a very low False Reject Rate (FRR) for a given False Accept Rate (FAR). This self-learning algorithm of the GunVault Bio adds new minutiae to the fingerprint sensor, which decreases the likelihood of FRR, updates slight changes that might occur over time to an enrolled fingerprint, as well as to help distinguish variations between the enrolled fingerprints. System can handle a maximum of thirty fingerprint templates.
Other than the ‘gadget factor,’ I’m not sure that the ‘finger’ vault is worth the almost $400 USD that they are asking. First of all, you can get a bargain safe from many outlets that actually meet some of the rigid requirements (California, in particular) for firearms storage. These are usually less than $100 USD for about the same interior volume depicted here and feature a programmable digital keypad with serious locking bolts.
I can open mine in the dark in about one or two seconds. And, unlike the biometric vault, it doesn’t have an interior light to reveal it’s location to intruders you’re about to confront.
Incidentally, I acquired mine for about $40 USD at a retail merchandise surplus outlet. I bought three of them - one for upstairs, one for downstairs and one for Mom’s house.
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t get a biometric vault - I’m only pointing out my choice as an alternative.
