After talking about the 5 mistakes to avoid when installing a safe, we now want to present the development of biometric technology applied to the Viro safes and security cabinets.
We will see the advanced features which make Ram Touch II the most innovative of the biometric safes for home or office use.
Buying a good quality safe to protect your valuables is not enough if certain precautions are not used during installation. Let’s see the five most common mistakes that people make when deciding where to install a safe and we’ll provide some useful advice.
If you have been following us for some time you will have noticed that one of the topics which is close to our heart is that of quality, in terms of the true strength of the products to withstand attacks by thieves and the reliability over time. The advice is always the same: invest in security and do not renounce it to save just a little money: the value of the assets exposed to risk is always much higher than the money that it is believed to have been saved!
With regard to quality, we have carried out tests in our laboratory to evaluate the resistance of Viro products, compared with others on the market.
We at the Viro Security Club often encounter curious situations regarding the way users use security products, as shown by the photos we receive from our readers.
We were recently sent this photo from Padova (Italy), where it seems that the precautions taken by urban cyclists can never be too many.
Is there nothing “strange” in this photo?
Unfortunately, the issue of “thefts and robberies” is always very current and widely debated.
We recently presented Viro Palladium, the high security cylinder, which is capable of withstanding not only brute force attacks, but also breaking in by using more subtle techniques.
Let’s see in detail what these techniques, called lock picking and key bumping, consist of; they are not exactly new, but are still fairly unknown to the general public, even though they are quite commonly used by thieves, especially professional ones.
Today we’ll begin a series of bogs that will accompany us, from time to time, over the coming months.
It is practical advice, summarised in the form of “bites“, suitable for users of security products, to be aware of the most effective ways for applying and using these products.
In fact, quite often very little is needed to avoid the risks, even potentially serious ones, related to an unintentionally incorrect installation and/or use.
Let’s start by talking about padlocks.
We recently talked about how to make our house secure with mechanical systems and electronic systems; we focused on the features which a high security cylinder should possess and on other measures useful for improving the protection provided by locking systems.
Today we’ll talk about the concept of security and also statistics. What is the difference between actual security and perceived security?
In the last blog we listed certain features which a European profile cylinder should possess in order to ensure a good level of security, that is to say, an effective resistance against external attacks.
Unfortunately, as we have already pointed out, even the most resistant product in the world would be overcome if it were easy to obtain an illegal copy of the keys, so that they could be opened without difficulty. Let’s see what is meant by patented controlled duplication profiles.
People not in the trade can have many doubts when they have to choose a cylinder for a lock. In fact, a European profile cylinder may appear at first glance to be very similar to another of lower or higher quality. But if we are looking for reliability and resistance to external attacks, which are the features of an excellent product compared with a mediocre one, we must not stop at the appearance. Let’s look in more detail.
When planning a trip, whether it’s for business or pleasure, the approaching departure is often accompanied by “suitcase anxiety”. Many concerns arise, especially if you travel by plane, partly due to the fact that every airline company applies its own rules concerning baggage: size, weight etc. And then if you are travelling to the USA, or if it is merely a stopover or if this destination is on your “wish list”, you have to deal with stringent baggage checks and, therefore, locking the baggage with the best possible means.
