What is a Biometric Safe?
A biometric safe is a safe which uses biometric technology to identify authorized users. In some cases, the safe may be totally biometric, while in other instances, biometrics may be combined with the use of a combination lock, key, or card swiper for additional security. The idea behind a biometric safe is that the use of biometric identification increases security, making the safe a reliable location for storing sensitive materials. Biometric technology uses unique human characteristics as identification markers. Iris scans, hand and finger prints, facial scans, voice recognition, and DNA testing can all be used in biometrics. Fingerprint scanners are especially popular with biometric safes, since fingerprints are very reliable and unique forms of identification, and the technology used for fingerprint scanners is easy to mount on a safe. Advanced safes may require multiple forms of biometric identification, like a voiceprint and a thumbprint, for extra security. When a biometric saf
