Our take on the Vaultek NDS5i ViSN DS5i Biometric Smart Station Safe

The Vaultek NDS5i is a low-profile biometric safe designed to blend into a nightstand or desk while securing up to two full-size handguns.

About the Vaultek NDS5i ViSN DS5i Biometric Smart Station Safe

The Vaultek NDS5i ViSN Smart Station is a low-profile biometric nightstand safe. It holds up to two full-size handguns, magazines, and personal valuables. The auto-opening drawer moves on precision ball-bearing twin rails. The drawer shows stored items in a single layer, so nothing is stacked.

The safe is built from progressive-formed 16-gauge steel with anti-pry construction, an anti-impact latch, and tamper detection. It opens with a biometric scanner, an eight-button Smart Sense keypad, manual keys, or the optional Nano Key 3.0. Built-in LED lighting illuminates the drawer.

The top deck charges two Qi-compatible devices wirelessly, and magnetic assistance helps center a compatible device on the front pad. Two USB-C and two standard USB ports provide wired charging. A customizable touch display shows the time, temperature, humidity, and safe status, and it has a blackout mode. The ViSN app and web dashboard show live status and activity history, and the dashboard lets you download the history log. The app also provides guided setup and selected alerts from anywhere with an internet connection.
