VAULTEK DS5i Smart Station™ Biometric Smart Safe with Dual Wireless Phone Charger + Auto Open Drawer + Bluetooth Safe Management (Alpine White)

This safe is very well designed and is very functional. It does have some missing features though none are about the protection of contents inside. It does not have an alarm on the clock, the cable for securing the unit is laughably short. Overall very nice safe.

I can't say enough positive things about this safe. It's very well packaged so it arrives in good condition, easy to set up and functions very very well. I've owned cheaper similar products and candidly they've all disappointed. Ways this safe outshines other competition I've tried: - Incredibly reliable and consistent finger print opening - lesser products are VERY finicky here and ureliable which isn't acceptable given the purpose of this safe. - Robust set of programming options, the ability to have two master finger prints and a master code that enable addition of other codes/finger prints is intuitive and secure. - The drawer slides smoothly and quieting - again on lesser products it's typically loud and clunky or far too slow. - Numerous options for configuration, lighting, etc. all accessed very easily through their app which is well thought through. - The charging options are fantastic and work very well, it easily aligns my iphone without me having to really pay too much attention or even look and having extra USB A & USB C ports on the back are perfect for other devices I regularly charge on my nightstand such as a weapon light or iPad Final comment, Vaultek support is fantastic. I noticed a faint beeping sound on the first unit I received, they worked with me to troubleshoot and when we weren't able to resolve it they sent a replacement and return shipping label without hesitation. The new unit is flawless and doesn't exhibit the behavior. It matters a lot to have a company stand behind their products and Vaultek demonstrated that they do. Every product has a fluke from time to time that doesn't function perfectly... not every company takes care of it when it happens. This has a huge value to me, can't recommend the DS5i Smart Station or Vaultek enough.

If you want the best modern bedside pistol safe, this is it. It’s really expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you can afford a gun, then you can afford to secure it properly especially if you have kids. It does everything and even sends alerts to your phone when it’s opened or tampered with. It’s very sleek-looking and anyone not familiar with it just thinks it’s an alarm clock, charging station, or radio. Everything about it is customizable, and it’s extremely easy to use. Noises and alerts are customizable, and fingerprint recognition has been 100%. I did two prints of each finger; one triple-scan of each finger flat and one triple-scan of each finger tip angled down. It took me a minute to find the left and right control buttons to set up the code and fingerprints, but they’re inside the safe underneath the keypad. The only negative thing I have to say about safe is the back-up AAA battery compartment (inside the safe at the back) is a little hard to get to if you have big hands, but thankfully they last a really long time if you keep the station plugged into the wall.

my full echelon, or full 2011 fits with sight and laser combo light and a full 21 mag !!! i am able to keep it on the side bed with out worry of the kids potentially grabing it, or the need to put it on the big safe away from my bed in case of emergency.

First and foremost, I don't care if this beautiful clock doesn't come with alarm. This thing is heavy, durable and has a high quality build to it. Has a beautiful touch screen display as well as the sleek wrinkle black paint for that very clean look. Setting it up and app is easy to use. No issues whatsoever with biometric finger print reader. I don't have sweaty hands like others do. Opens right up every time. Keeps my guns out of kid's reach. I have a Gen5 G19 with TLR7X light and EPS MRS green optic and a Gen5 G26 inside there, and they both fits fine. One slight issue though, is that when wireless charging your phone, it get super hot. Could be just my phone but somebody else said the same thing in their review here. But that will not stop me from giving it a 5 stars though. 5 Months Review UPDATE(3-11-2025): Both the USB-C and USB Type A on the far left if facing the front of clock stopped working. Contacted Vaultek, and they are shipping me out a brand new one with a return label to ship back the old one. Awesome customer service!
