Biometric Safes in Dubai: Unveiling the Pros & Cons
Biometric safes use a specific portion of your body, such as a fingerprint, facial recognition, or retinal scanner, to unlock your valuables. You can select who can access the safe by using the fingerprint enrollment feature, which lets you enroll one or more fingerprints, depending on the safe brand and technique your safe utilizes. Nowadays, the majority of biometric fingerprint safes only support one person and a certain number of fingerprints; however, some brands, like Godrej and Booil Safe in Dubai, support numerous users and multiple fingerprints. After enrolling in the biometrics program, all you have to do to access the safe is swipe or scan your fingerprint or retina, and the biometric scanner will instantly identify you as a user and give you access to the safe.

How Bio-Metric Safes in Dubai Work?
Let’s quickly review the functioning of biometric fingerprint safes before talking about their pros and cons. The technical term typically used to describe fingerprint or retinal scanning is biometrics. Thus, safes that unlock using one of these are called biometric safes. A comprehensive image of your fingerprint is captured and stored by a biometric fingerprint scanner. It saves your fingerprint’s characteristics and pattern in a secure digital format. Since each person’s fingerprints are distinct, fingerprints are used to identify people and give access to the safe. It may indicate a less secure reader or one that is more secure, depending on the fingerprint reader and DPI level. The more secure the reader, the less probable someone is to be able to make a replica and open your safe. The higher the DPI, the more secure the reader. At Zayani & Co., you can buy safes depending on your requirements. You can visit our shop or browse through our website for different office safes available with us.

Pros of Biometric Safes
You Don’t need to Carry a Key
A poll found that 28% of people lose their keys at least once a week and that it can take them up to two and a half days to find them or replace them with new locks. You won’t need to carry a key around with you, which could be misplaced or stolen if your office safe is biometric. Thus, a biometric safe adds a degree of protection and eliminates the need to carry a key. If you are someone who keeps forgetting their key, then consider getting a fingerprint office safe box.

You Get Emergency Access with Fingerprint Safes
Biometric safes are ideal in an emergency since they provide quick access to the contents. Finding a key or recalling a combination could take too much time. If you are really in a pinch, you might not be able to remember or place the right pin. For this reason, in an emergency, owning a biometric office safe in Dubai can save you time. You enter your safe in two seconds, find everything you need inside, and quickly get done with your work.

Multi-user access is Possible with Finger Safes
The best biometric fingerprint-safe companies, like Godrej and Booil, enable you to save several fingerprints, which is ideal for both the office and home. Whereas, the majority of biometric safes only allow you to store one fingerprint or have one user. You can grant different people access to the same safe in this way. In contrast to more conventional techniques of frequently changing your PIN code or worrying about too many distributed keys if you want to revoke someone’s access, multiple fingerprints can be easily removed or enrolled, depending on the safe. You can have many users and multiple fingerprints per user with safes in Dubai bought from Zayani & Co.

Cons of Biometric Safes
Bio Safes are Battery Operated
Biometric safes in Dubai require power to function since they use electronic scanners to verify fingerprints. As a result, fingerprint safes often run on batteries, which require frequent changing. Though most don’t, the best biometric safes typically contain battery monitors that indicate when the batteries need to be charged. The scanner will shut off if the battery runs out. To get around this problem, certain safes, like Godrej and Booil, use both an outlet and battery power. Furthermore, these safes use notifications—a feature not seen in other safes—to alert you to problems with your power supply.
False Scans
A false scan occurs when someone whose fingerprints are not on file in the system opens the safe; this depends on the scanner and its DPI. Expensive and contemporary safes are less likely than less expensive or older ones to experience false scans, commonly referred to as false positives. However, they can still happen, particularly with subpar biometric safes. Therefore, be sure the safe you investigate and purchase features a high-quality, high-DPI scanner.
Non-Scans
A machine malfunction or unclean fingertips can cause a non-scan. It occurs, for instance, when a stored fingerprint is not recognized by your biometric fingerprint safe. Some elderly people occasionally experience problems using fingerprint scanners. Furthermore, non-scan issues can also be brought on by other substances on your finger, including grime, dampness, oils, lotions, blood, glue, and sunscreen. Though all of these are very rare occurrences, buyers need not worry about them.
