For those of us who care about the safety of our families, valuables and firearms (read: everyone who reads this blog), this little innovation from Liberty Safe might just come in handy. The obvious use for this device is to keep your firearms and ammo out of the wrong hands and to be alerted immediately should someone gain access to them. From where I stand, this thing might just have a stroke of genius behind it. If nothing else, it will help you rest a little easier that your valuables are being watched, even if you aren’t around to do it. Check out the press release from the company here:
Revolutionary New Safe and Valuables Protection
Payson, Utah, May 9, 2013, Liberty Safe— World famous for their line of super tough reliable firearm safes www.libertysafe.com has devised a revolutionary portable and wireless alarm system in cooperation with Elertus Cloud Services.
SafElert is a compact 3x2x1-inch wireless hi-tech communications device you can employ in any existing safe or any other confined space including your dresser drawers, automobile, liquor cabinet, or even in your refrigerator to catch a secret snacker.
The SafElert is set into any safe or targeted area to be monitored; you arm it and go enjoy your life.
The SafElert will notify you if your safe (any safe) is jarred, hit, pried, moved, opened, over heated, the handle is jostled or most anything else out of the ordinary. Additionally the system will even automatically send you a weekly humidity report from the inside the safe.
“SafElert is another example of Liberty’s innovative thinking in an increasingly complex and dangerous world. We are always looking for ways to better protect what our customer’s value.”–Kim Waddoups, President, Liberty Safes.
The alarm and reports are sent as texts or emailsthrough a Wi-Fi system and received via email messaging and cell/smart phone via Elertus Cloud services. And if any of those systems fails, SafElert will even notify you of that particular failure event when it checks in every hour. It even notifies you when the batteries are getting low.
You can have up to five people receive this information. So if you forget your cell phone or go on a hunting trip without your electronic toys and an alert comes in, any one of these other people can react to the alarm.
What you need: A home Wi-Fi network (wireless router) and smartphone, tablet, PC, or Mac connected to your wireless router.
