MedixSafe, a leader in the access control cabinet market, is introducing its new GS1 Gun Safe. Initially custom-built to accommodate a request from a police department looking to secure firearms, the GS1 electronically controlled cabinet is an access control solution that law enforcement, airport security staff, and private gun owners alike can count on to restrict access to their firearms.

Easy to manage from any computer, the MedixSafe GS1 is equipped with a stand-alone networkable TCP/IP based controller.

All PIN/Card activity is recorded in the PIN/Card reader memory, providing a reliable log of who has accessed the gun safe. The GS1 can store up to 30,000 users and a 50,000-event activity log.
