The power of VEXIS™ technology:

Your palm is the key

Patent‑pending palm vein recognition uses unique internal vein patterns that cannot be copied, forged, or left behind, delivering unmatched security beyond fingerprints or codes.

Fast, touch‑free access

Simply hover your palm near the sensor. In less than half a second, your identity is verified and the safe unlocks. No code to remember or buttons to press.

Unmatched accuracy

Each scan captures over 2.5 million data points, resulting in the lowest false acceptance and rejection rates of any biometric technology.

Next‑level privacy

Your biometric data comes from inside your body, keeping it private and secure. Unlike fingerprints that wear down or facial features that change, palm vein patterns remain stable for life. In addition, access data is stored locally on one device and never shared, uploaded, or connected elsewhere.

    Q&A: VEXIS™ Palm Vein Technology

    HOW FAST CAN I OPEN MY SAFE?

    VEXIS™ delivers access in about half a second. Simply present your palm and the safe unlocks instantly, giving you quick access when seconds matter most.

    IS IT MORE SECURE THAN FINGERPRINT OR FACIAL RECOGNITION?

    Palm vein patterns are located beneath the skin and can’t be photographed, copied, or lifted like fingerprints. The system reads live tissue only, and even identical twins have different vein patterns, making VEXIS™ one of the most secure biometric options available.

    IS PALM VEIN SCANNING SAFE?

    Yes. VEXIS™ uses harmless near-infrared light, similar to the technology in a TV remote. There’s no radiation, no X-rays, and nothing invasive.

    WILL IT WORK RELIABLY OVER TIME?

    Yes. Unlike fingerprints that can be affected by dirt, dryness, or wear, vein patterns remain stable throughout adulthood and aren’t impacted by lighting or surface conditions.

    HOW MANY USERS PER SAFE?

    Each VEXIS™ keypad can store up to 10 unique vein patterns. Access data is stored locally on one device, is never shared, uploaded or connected elsewhere.
