What Is a Smart Safe?

Basic designs may incorporate a log of your safe’s activity or allow for remote unlocking. Other companies offer more extensive features, providing better security and connectivity. When choosing the safe that is best for you, you’ll want to consider what features matter most to you. Generally, the more you pay for your safe, the more features and more security you get.

The Space Safe is the only smart safe to truly allow multiple users to enter their biometric information for a quick, convenient unlock, allowing up to four user profiles with multiple fingerprints per user. With its 360-degree fingerprint detection system, access and security are a breeze.
