What is the Difference Between an Automated Safe Deposit Box and a Manual Safe Deposit Box?
In a typical manual safe deposit system, your identification is usually verified by staff or biometric scan, and then you will be escorted to your box in a room or a vault with hundreds or thousands of boxes by the security personnel. Your box must be opened using both your own key and the staff's key (also known as the dual locks/dual locking mechanism). You can then bring your safe box to a private room to access your items. After accessing your personal belongings, you will need to bring your box back to the room full of boxes and the staff/security will put the box back and lock it using both keys.
On the other hand, automated safety deposit boxes like STARVAULT's simplify the process and bring you into secure private viewing rooms, where you can view your items at your request via a multi-layer access control system using biometric scans, card access, pin and finally a physical key.
