"SAFEALERT" by Libertry Safes

[RobertNashville]

I don't usually do "product endorsements" but I think this one deserves it.

 

Last week I ordered "SAFEALERT" through Liberty Safe's website; Mark at the SafeHouse delivered it to me...this is a monitoring system for your safe that is really pretty cool.

 

You do need wireless internet and there is a monitoring fee but I think it's worth it.  The set-up was very easy; not quite "set it and forget it" but almost. :)

 

I like it because should anyone actually get to my safe without setting off my alarm system (or a kid, etc perhaps opens my safe door while visiting because I forget that I had it unlocked) it will alert you by email and/or text message that someone has opened or closed the door or if any vibration/movement is detected.  It will also alert for unusual temperature fluctuations inside your safe (such as a fire), and moisture content. In other words, it gives you some precious advance warning if someone may be breaking into your safe or something equally bad is happening. It's about $200 so it's not cheap but what is these days.

 

Anyway, I just thought I'd pass this along.

Interesting. I just closed on my house yesterday and will be in the market for a safe soon.

Off topic, But...Congratulations, Eric.

Looks like a good idea, I might do that too.

Although, I would be concerned with the power being cut. An easy thing to do. I would probably get an UPS power backup for the safe and Internet equipment.

The monitor (which is inside the safe) uses two AA batteries and the unit will alert you when the battery power is getting low.

As to the internet equipment having an UPS is a good idea.

 

In my case however, if power fails I'd just be back to relying on the other alarms in my safe room - the primary alert system for that is a dedicated cell system on a battery backup if power is lost.

Great setup there
