Biometrics vs PIN / Badge Access
Many organizations realize PIN or Badge access does not provide adequate security. PINs / Access Badges are often shared between employees, which compromises audit records used with the DEA. Access to each MedixSafe can be customized based on access requirements: Biometrics, Badge, PIN/UserID.
Two-Factor Authentication
A number of Knox customers have chosen MedixSafe, as we can further enhance security by using combinations of “access credentials” – known as 2-factor authentication. An example would be Badge + Fingerprint. MedixSafe has a further level of authentication protection often used for station safes where credentials from two individuals must be used in order to gain access to the safe.
Biometrics for Station Safes/ Badge or PIN for Apparatus
EMS Agencies and Fire Departments are looking for a wholistic solution for both their stations and fleet. MedixSafe authentication flexibility allows customers to have biometrically enabled safes for the stations carrying more inventory while keeping access very simple for front line staff in their apparatus.Choice of Safe Size
MedixSafe has 6 standard safe sizes – ranging from compact vehicle safes to very large 2-compartment safes. We often hear this as a reason for switching. Click here to view our standard safe options.
Hardware Warranty & Unlimited Live Technical Support
MedixSafe has the only hardware warranty that continues for as along as you are an active customer. Most alternatives expire after 1 or 2 years. We offer live technical support for as long as you are an active customer. We often hear our level of technical support is a differentiator for us as well.
