What You Need to Know About Biometric and Fingerprint Technology Biometric technology is nothing new and has been around here for decades. Here’s the low down on biometric technology and the newest addition to our line of essentials for traveling or to add to your home security. What Is Biometrics Biometrics is an automated process of recognizing certain characteristics. By definition, it is the measurement and statistical analysis of people’s unique physical and behavioral characteristics. A lot of people mistake biometric data for personal data but they are completely separate. Personal data can be stolen, whereas biometrics cannot. A fingerprint scanner has some basic functions - scanning your finger (obviously) and detecting those small ridges and other characteristics. It takes a picture and makes sure it matches those pre-scanned images. Key unique characteristics are saved and then encrypted into a mathematical code. Is it Safe? Well, biometric fingerprints don’t necessarily save your fingerprint (technically). But it does save the mathematical numbers associated with your fingerprint, so really nothing can be compromised. It’s like trying to steal a mathematical code associated to someone. It most likely won’t happen, and if it does, it’d be REALLY hard to gain access to. Why You Need a BioMetric Lock The Pros Fingerprints are much harder to obtain than guessing pass codes and you don’t have to worry about getting your identity checked. It’s safer, you can’t misplace anything, and you can’t forget a fingerprint like you forget other things. It always has a trail and captures everything in real time. This is the perfect tool for not only travelling, but for safety, too. The best thing of course, is the security with a fingerprint lock. Intruders are much less likely to obtain your fingerprint whereas a key or password can be stolen. The Cons The only major con about fingerprint locks is that it is constantly running, and we mean constantly. It is always running on electricity, and there’s no way to get in unless you recharge it or have extra batteries at hand - depending on the item. Making the Most of Your Security And although biometric technology is a good solution, here’s a tip to make the most out of your security. Be sure to have a second hand of security in place, like a keypad just in case your battery runs out. Most biometric locks come with an additional lock just in case. Our Biometric Locks We have recently launched our new locks with biometric smart technology. From TSA approved locks to XL locks, travel stress free for on the go or use it at home.

We’re highlighting some of our favorite tools to help you enjoy your summer. 4-in-1 Emergency Kit Having a light at hand is essential to enjoying your night out while camping or chilling by the campfire.

This LED light is perfect for carrying around, and also served other purposes - a phone charger, an emergency tool, and a roadside assistance tool. Light It Up Yes, we know. It’s a flashlight and it’s kind of a given to have one at all times. What makes ours so different? Well, it’s very similar to the above tool in that it’s more than “just” a flashlight. If you’re on a road trip and get into any kind of accident, this nifty tool has a tool to power a dead smartphone battery and can also break window or cut a seatbelt. And of course, it’s perfect for hiking and never leaving you in the dark. Power It Up Being on our phones is probably not a priority when it comes to camping, but when something happens, it’s good to have it on hand. Charge up your phone with a power bank for when you need to make those emergency calls, and, it doubles up as a light. It’s a win-win situation. from Aluratek Blog https://aluratek.com/blog/5647/ from https://aluratek.tumblr.com/post/174417359548 It’s okay if you have an old car…really.

Cutting out the chords is the best way to add an easy charging experience to your home or office. But exactly how does it work, and is it worth changing your normal charging routine up? Let’s find out. What is Wireless charging? Wireless charging is exactly what it sounds like: charging without the hassle of plugging in a cable to your phone. With devices like the iPhone 8 and up or Samsung Galaxy S6 and up, these phones are qi enabled and can be charged on wireless pads. It’s a fairly simple concept to grasp - charging using an electromagnetic field in one device to induce an electric current in a metal coil from another device. However, even though it’s deemed wireless, it’s not completely wireless. You still need to plug in the charger pad to a power source - whether that’s a laptop or a wall charger.Which brings us to our next question. Do I Really Need a Qi Charger? Wireless charging is really dependent on the person and their lifestyle. Some people prefer one or the other but there really is no right answer. Quick or slow charge If you’re looking for a fast charge, then it probably isn’t the best for you. Cable charging is better for a faster charge, whereas a qi pad is perfect for setting to the side while doing work, charging for overnight, or topping off your phone before leaving for that party. Work Flow If you’re constantly on the phone and picking up business calls, then the Qi charger is a perfect option. You don’t have to worry about unplugging and plugging back the cable when your call is over or when you have to retrieve another call right after the other. On Your Bedside If you’re an avid texter or phone user especially when you’re lying in bed, then this is the perfect option for you. Text and pick up your phone, put it down when you’re ready to go to sleep, and don’t worry about plugging in the cable ever again. If this sounds like a perfect fit for you, then take a look at our newest qi charging pad. It’s long enough to plug into a wall source, simple and sleek, black so it’ll fit in well in almost any room or office.
