Safe Storage of Handguns and Other Valuables With Immediate Biometric Access Control

 
 
 

BioVault provides safe storage and easily controlled access for handguns, weapons, ammunition, jewelry and other valuable items including; pharmaceuticals, coins, stocks, bonds, critical data and personal documents.

Designed to be nearly impenetrable to attack and unauthorized access, BioVault utilizes the verification of an authorized persons’ fingerprint to control and permit access.

BioVault is easily programmable and can store up to 15 authorized fingerprints in its memory. You decide who gains access to the BioVault.

BioVault has no override keys and no special security codes, - just the biometric characteristics of your individual fingerprints.

Constructed of heavy-duty 12-gauge steel and state-of-the-art technology, BioVault will give you years of peace-of-mind, secure access control and safe storage of your valuables.

The Most Mature Biometric Technology is Fingerprint Technology

Almost 50% of all Biometric Technology is based on fingerprint recognition.

BioVault utilizes highly reliable capacitance technology and is nearly tamper proof. BioVault utilizes the same technology and software used by the FBI.

BioVault patent-pending technology is the culmination of over 20years of biometric development. BioVault is the first stand-alone consumer biometric access control system. It requires no external computer or power to function, no key or card to provide override, and is the only product on the market that opens solely with biometric access.

Three D-cell batteries that last up to one year provide the power management system. An auxiliary AC/DC converter conveniently plugs into any household outlet to provide an alternate power source. Fail-safe memory retains fingerprint data even during complete battery or electrical failure.

BioVault is your solution when access control is your first concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

If the batteries go dead, does the BioVault lose my fingerprints?

BioVault uses the same non-volatile memory used in cell phones. The memory stays intact even if there is no power applied for years. BioVault is designed to signal you when the batteries are low, just like a smoke detector. If for some reason it goes completely dead, simply plug the BioVault into an electrical outlet and it will open with your enrolled fingerprint.

Can anyone steal my fingerprints?

No. The SB-5 biometric processor in BioVault reduces your fingerprint to a binary number that is stored in memory. This number is analyzed against the fingerprint submitted for comparison.

How many people can I enroll in my BioVault?

BioVault is easily programmable and can store up to 15 authorized fingerprints in its memory. We recommend that you enroll two fingers (one from each hand) so that if you have a bandage on one finger, you can use the other.
