I know this is almost 2 years old now but I wanted to thank you for this review. Ive watched about 5 or 6 of them now and this was by far the best one. Very infomrative.
Enjoy your videos. Im looking to get a gun safe. This one is more than i need, but i do like this brand safe and will be purchasing one soon. They make diffrent models that have the exact features as the one you reviewed. Keep up the great work!
I was thinking about designing something like this.... I had the idea for a WiFi gun safe so you can know if your kids got into it. I'm glad I looked this up, you guys have a great design.
Excellent review, as always. Been looking at this one. It is pricey. Vaultek does appear to be pretty proud of this safe, as it never seems to go on sale. Was hoping for a code at the end of your video.
@@ChrispyThings Thanks! I have been wanting to buy one for a while. Figured I'd hold out for a Presidents Day Sale. Once I coincidentally saw your review, I figured I'd bite the bullet. I found OpticsPlanet.com. They have it for $559, which is a little better than the $599 list price, + you can get an extra 10% off today using code POTUS. It is the best deal I have found, so I bought one. Hope it is a reputable online retailer. Thanks again for the review.
Just got this safe a few days ago. Now I get alerts on the app ALL DAY LONG telling me someone is tampering with it. I get home and see the cat sleeping on top of it. 🤦
I loved the review. Thank you. How reliable is the app? Especially when it comes to getting notifications if the safe is tampered or opened when you’re not home? The reviews for the app are really bad so your experience would be great!
The notifications come through great. Very fast. Even if I bump the table it alerts me that there’s a tamper warning if I have the sensitivity turned all the way up. But. Getting the app to pair with the safe is a huge pain. Sometimes it takes multiple tries. And right now it unpaired from my app and I can’t get it to reconnect. So there’s that…
@@ChrispyThings Don’t you just need to pair it once when you first get it? Bluetooth I would expect to have to pair each time you connect but not wifi. Why is it that you have to continue pairing it?
@@Gilster85 As I mentioned it unpaired from the app. I’m not sure why but it did. Something happened. But yes ideally you should only need to pair it once.
@@ChrispyThings Got it. It’s a really nice safe tho. I ordered one after watching your review. Hopefully I don’t run into issues since it’s pricy. Thanks for your help!
How are you supposed to charge it if you mount it to a wall? Or even in a wall? Isn’t the charger port on the back? Is there a separate charger you can buy for the battery to charge outside of the vault?
Rich A. I was thinking about the location of the charge port yesterday. I was thinking maybe the back so it wasn’t sticking out of the side, but then what if you wanted to hard mount it to a wall? So that’s a no. I disagree with the top just for aesthetics alone. The front wouldn’t really make sense because the door takes up all the space and would swing open with it. So I guess the side is the logical choice.
I plan to get a 90° USB charging cable. Then some clips to route the cable along the side of the safe for better wire management. And yes.. that is the correct use of the word 'clip'. 🤣

Thanks! I appreciate that
Gotta pay for the best stuff. Going to buy this ASAP. Thanks for the review brother.
If I ever pick up a safe, this one would be it! Nice review man
Big Cheese Thanks man
Now I went and bought one, thanks
Great content as always. You were one of my inspirations to create a UA-cam channel talking about wallets and other gear. Thanks for everything :)
Hey congrats on the channel!
@@ChrispyThings Thanks man :D
Hoping to get one soon I only have handguns so this will be perfect!!

Yes they have a Bluetooth model MX and a normal one.
Thanks for the review….just ordered mine!

I don’t work for a Vaultek so can’t take credit. All I did was review it and demonstrated how it works. Thanks for watching!
Best review I’ve seen! Many thanks
I was thinking it'd be more, considering the value of the things it will hold, it's a decent priced safe.
Excellent review, as always. Been looking at this one. It is pricey. Vaultek does appear to be pretty proud of this safe, as it never seems to go on sale. Was hoping for a code at the end of your video.
I wish I had a discount code for you guys.

@@dennishill6742 Do you like this safe from Optics Planet?
Can't even get mine to connect to wifi. Love the safe though. But wifi connection need work

I get home and see the cat sleeping on top of it. 🤦
You can adjust the sensitivity in the app. I turned mine to the lowest setting.
@@ChrispyThings The cat pushes the numerical buttons. 😸
Does the nano key need a battery?
Just set mine up pretty simple thanks for the video helped make it straight forward thanks
How you liking it?
I just bought it, it’s bad ass
Nice
Glad to see Vaultek had fixed their Bluetooth security flaw. I do like the safe, but it’s a little pricey for what you get.
Gary Just Gary They seems to jump quickly and fix their flaws if found.
I like their rifle safe! It’s a little small but to keep a few accessible firearms handy and away from unwanted access.
On if it was 2x the size it’s a little to short

"clips"
It’s what I said. 🤷🏼♂️
Great review
I can't connect this to my wifi! Tried it with my 2.4g and 5G but it won't connect. Cant detect my wifi. Shame. Great safe, horrible connection
The deal breaker for me is they are using and old out dated usb. They need to add usb c charging capability
I just received mine today. This is awesome! However, I'm having some difficult with setting the WiFi. Do you have any suggestion?
If you follow what I did in the video it should work. It may take a few tries. For some reason it doesn’t like to work the first time
@@ChrispyThings Okay Thanks. Bye the way. Great video, keep up the great work.
Magazine not clips
*facepalm
How is this thing been after a year +? any issues with it?
No issues at all. Sits on my dresser and works perfectly still
Opted for non-biometric. Biometric unreliable.
Could this work with alexa?
It doesn’t work with Alexa...not yet at least.
Do you know of any that do? I'm trying very hard to find one
they should add another charging port to the front or top.

Which side of the safe is the micro-usb port on? I might as well order a 90 degree cable now for charging.
