I would be hesitant to trust my valuables, and possibly my life, to a cheap Chinese fingerprint EPROM.

Not necessarily that model, but the concept. If there is a knockoff, there is an one that is quality product. What about the concept?

Gotcha. I was curious because I know you can buy a USB one for like 30 bucks or something like that. What about advancements in that technology. It says a lot that the technology has hit the common market, along w/ retinal and iris scan tech. What kind of tech development time before it is the quickest. 5 years? 10? 25? It would seem very easy to widely integrate the technology.

What kind of life span is expected on electronic key pad technology? How long before they go tits up? I know a dial will last, however, I'm curious about the others if for nothing other than the sake of knowing.

What if I lose my finger? You could probably use a different finger, but even then you have a backup key right, not necessarily on this one..in theory you could program all of your fingers. I would. If you loose all your fingers, your probably in bad shape as is. I suppose you could turn a dial w/ your nubs or your feet or mouth...might be hard to use a key. |

It would seem very easy to widely integrate the technology. Every good one that I have seen still has an unlocking key that also comes with the safe or door. Batteries also run down for the electronic part. They also have a four digit numeric code that you enter to activate the fingerprint portion of the unlocking procedure. That way an intruder needs more than a cut off finger to get what they want. I have some biometric locks and they are pretty good....I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. |

It'd be hard to use the gun at that point anyway. |

I know batteries don't work well when terribly cold, so burying it in the snow would be out..indoor use should be in moderate temperature range, but your right, not sure if i would want exposed to the elements. I would imagine its not going to be good around water either. |
