The Hornady VEXIS Night Guard is a handgun safe built into a bedside clock. It uses patent-pending palm vein recognition, which reads the vein pattern beneath the skin without contact and verifies an authorized user in less than half a second. It can store up to 10 palm vein patterns. The biometric data is encrypted and stays inside the safe. It is not uploaded, shared, or connected to another device.
A programmable six- to eight-digit keypad and two included backup keys provide other ways to open it. A quiet, spring-assisted drawer opens to a padded compartment for a handgun and other valuables. The exterior housing is 14-gauge steel, and hardened interior locking lugs help resist tampering.
The clock display has five brightness levels and can be turned off. The safe can be secured to a stationary structure with the included security cable or at its pre-drilled mounting points. A USB-C port charges compatible electronics while the safe is connected to AC power. The safe runs on the included 12V power supply or two 9V backup batteries, so the access system stays available during a power interruption.
