For people who appreciate the comfort of privacy and security, smart safes are a great way to protect valuable items and prevent incidents of burglary. A biometric safe like The Space Safe is the best way to keep passports, important documents, family heirlooms, and money safe. You should choose a high-quality safe box with a variety of innovative security features to preserve your peace of mind.

After you've chosen your biometric safe, it is crucial to properly tend and care for it to ensure that it continues doing its job. If it doesn't function properly, you won't be able to rely on it keeping your valuables safe while you're gone. Even the most modern security solutions require regular checks to make sure they're working well and keeping your items safe. 

Checking Your Safe

When you're looking at biometric smart safes, The Space Safe is the best option. It's built to last and includes various security features that keep you connected to your valuables wherever you are that no other smart safe offers. There are a few things that need to be looked at during your routine check on your safe to ensure it is operating properly and continues performing. There are a few things you will want to check when it comes to maintaining your safe box:

• Battery life 
• Connectivity issues
• Fingerprint recognition issues
• Electronic damage

Regular checks ensure your safe is still working to protect your privacy. Here are a few things to keep in mind when performing a routine check on your safe.

Battery Life

Many biometric safes on the market are battery-powered with single use batteries that don’t last longer than 6 months, which poses an obvious problem when they run out. Better safes come with rechargeable batteries, or will require that you change them regularly to ensure that they continue working. While this may be an inconvenience, it is necessary for some safe options currently on the market. 

The Space Safe uses both a power adapter and a backup rechargeable battery in case of a power outage, making battery life a minimal concern for their users. Easily check battery life in the top right corner of The Space Safe’s screen or through their app to ensure the battery is in the green and ready for any emergency. While other safe boxes might become inaccessible if the battery dies, The Space Safe comes with three backup keys for an easy manual unlock if all else fails.

Fingerprint Recognition

As a fingerprint safe, the biometric component of your smart safe should always be kept clean and free of scuffs, marks, and dents. Since you touch this area often, it may be marked up with prints and smudges, which can lead to scanning failures. Regular dusting or wiping with a clean microfiber cloth is the best way to keep your unlock quick and convenient. The Space Safe’s 360-degree design of the biometric system lets you scan your fingerprint from any angle - which other safes don’t have. By keeping your screen clean, you can ensure your safe opens quickly whenever you need to access your items. 

Connectivity

If you're using a smart safe with mobile device connectivity, you'll want to make sure your safe has a stable internet connection. The Space Safe’s App keeps you connected with your items while you're on the go. Doing this provides a tremendous amount of security and assurance that your belongings are not being touched or tampered with. It is important to check the safes' connectivity to your WiFi while doing your routine check to ensure you are able to access all of it’s features, especially during an emergency.

Electronics

It is essential to keep digitial safe boxes away from any liquids that may damage the console and prevent it from opening and closing. Water may cause damage, hurting the electrical components and making it difficult to open your fingerprint safe using the biometric scanner. Unlike other options, The Space Safe features temperature and humidity sensors, so you can quickly be alerted of any potential for damage, and if you do have water damage, you can always access your SPACE device with a key.

Importance of Routine Check-Ups

Doing routine check-ups on your biometric safe is very important. Making sure that it is functioning properly will ensure that it is ready to use on a daily basis or if any sort of emergency occurs.

Being ready during an emergency can make a huge difference and may prevent damage from a more significant crisis. Keeping your safe box in top shape is a great way to get the most out of it, as it'll be there for you when you need it. With The Space Safe, you'll sleep better at night knowing your valuables are safe and that you have the ability to keep them under surveillance by using the app and viewing what's going on around using the cameras.

The Space Safe also features lockdown mode, which is triggered by advanced tampered sensors and can also be enabled or disabled via the app. This feature prevents anyone from accessing your touch display interface, denying them access to the interior while keeping your valuables or money safe. The sensors and notifications remain on to keep you updated on the situation. Lockdown mode cannot be enabled if you aren't successfully paired to the device, so this is another reason to do routine check-ups on your safe to ensure it is functioning optimally.
