BioVault 2.0 is the ultimate solution for access control. BioVault 2.0 is licensed by the NRA. Invented and developed by Sequiam, BioVault 2.0 provides safe storage and easily controlled access for handguns, weapons, ammunition, jewelry and other valuable items including: pharmaceuticals, coins, stamps, stocks, bonds, critical data and personal documents.
BioVault 2.0 uses proprietary fingerprint technology to verify identification and permit access. BioVault 2.0 is easily programmable and can store up to 50 authorized fingerprints in its flash memory. Only you decide who gains access to BioVault 2.0. BioVault 2.0 patent-pending technology is the culmination of over 20 years of biometric development. BioVault 2.0 requires no external computer or power to function, no key or card to provide override.
The BioVault 2.0 power management system allows 3 common household D-cell batteries to last up to one year under normal use. An auxiliary AC/DC adapter conveniently plugs into an electrical outlet to provide an alternate source of power. Flash memory retains fingerprint data even during complete battery or electrical failure.

Q: What are the construction materials of the Biovault 2.0?
A: The Biovault 2.0 body is comprised of steel and aluminum alloy. About 45% of the Biovault 2.0 is steel construction.
Q: What happens to the fingerprints that are stored in the BioVault 2.0 when the batteries die or during a power outage when plugged in using the A/C adapter?
A: The BioVault 2.0 retains all fingerprints in the event of total power loss. Once the power is restored by either inserting new batteries or when the electricity is restored to the A/C adapter, the unit will function as it did before the power loss.
Q: Is the BioVault 2.0 fire proof?
A: No, the BioVault 2.0 is not fire proof or fire resistant. The BioVault 2.0 has been specifically designed for secure access control and convenience.
Q: Can the BioVault 2.0 use rechargeable D-Cell batteries?
A: Yes, but they can not be recharged inside the BioVault 2.0 even if the A/C adapter is plugged in.
Q: If I cut my finger, does the fingerprint heal the same as before and will it open my safe?
A: Usually yes, although if the cut is significant or requires stitches, scar tissue may form as a result causing a change in your fingerprint. That is why we recommend enrolling additional user fingerprints and also fingerprints from your other hand.
Q: Will the BioVault 2.0 scan my finger correctly when my finger/fingerprint is puffy after a shower or swimming?
A: The BioVault 2.0 has been designed to be very sensitive when authenticating and matching fingerprints. The unit will open when your fingerprint has increased moisture from after an average shower or swim and will open. There may be times when extreme water retention due to extended time in the water will cause a minuet aspect of your fingerprints to change for a short time and access to your BioVault 2.0 may be denied until your fingerprint returns to its ordinary normal condition the same as when you originally enrolled that print.
Q: Can someone cutoff my finger and try to use it to open the BioVault?
A: No, BioVault 2.0 uses technology that detects live fingers for scanning, so in the unfortunate event that a detached finger is used to attempt access the unit will not open.
Q: Can I travel with the BioVault 2.0 through US Customs or TSA Security at the airport?
A: Yes, there are no restrictions on carrying this type of item. Please be aware that you may be asked to open the BioVault 2.0 rather than passing it through x-ray and that we recommend that an enrolled user be present during transporting this item in case such as request is made by a government authority.
Biometrics are methods of authenticating the identity of a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Biometric fingerprint authentication refers to technology that measures and analyzes human physical characteristics for identificaiton and authorization purposes, since everyone is known to have their own unique individual fingerprints. Sequiam's leading edge engineering group has developed its patented biometric technology to read and match fingerprints with unmatched speed with precision accuracy.
Unlike other biometric products, Sequiam uses an AC capacitive swipe sensor technology to read deeper and look at the live layer of skin beneath the surface of the finger in order to authenticate. This technology ignores most non-living material (dirt, oil, even calluses) that might interfere with lower quality sensors. Other biometric sensors simply take a picture of the fingerprint surface making it easy to spoof and hard to authenticate under a variety of conditions. Sequiam's technology translates into more convenience and greater security for your valuables.
