Safes are one of the most important inventions in the history of security, and, as we all know only very well, they come in various shapes and sizes, some having the dimensions of an entire room, while others are no larger than a box of shoes. Moreover as technology evolved, so did the safes' locking systems, the latest trend in access systems being biometric systems, that offer an increased level of precision compared with the traditional fingerprint ID system. And that's exactly what we're going to talk about today, namely the Biometric Access Safe, which is available at several online retailers, including Hammacher Schlemmer, Office Max, Amazon, as well as Wal-Mart.

This very interesting safe offers an internal storage space of around 34 cubic centimeters, and, in addition to the new biometric technology that allows the unit to be opened with the touch of a fingerprint, the device is also fireproof, being able to withstand temperatures of up to 927 Celsius degrees (1700 Fahrenheit). Moreover, the safe can be bolted to the floor, thus assuring an increased level of safety, and is quite easy to use, being fitted with a backlit display and cross-hairs on screen for assisting in the proper positioning of the finger for scan.

The Biometric Access Safe is also capable of storing up to 14 prints, features a multi-position tray, key rack and compartment for smaller items, and comes in a very safety-inspiring gunmetal gray color. The safe measures 45 cm x 41.51 cm x 47.23 cm, weighs around 45 kilos and is available for around 430-480 US dollars at the aforementioned online retailers.
