I have yet to meet a lock or bedside safe that I'd actually use....until now. The electronic monitoring function as depicted in the video appears to allow access to the weapon, is that right that there is no locking function during monitoring? I'd be all for single functionality and scrap the monitoring (I indicated this on the survey).
I'm in the outdoors industry and I can say with authority that if this works as depicted, you've got a hit on your hands.
@chiphunnicutt Not sure what exactly you meant by no locking while monitoring. There is the option of awareness mode in which ZORE X is not locked but will let you monitor your gun. While in awareness mode charging the gun will eject ZORE and chamber a fresh round without needing to unlock it. You can also use the Watchdog for monitoring if all you're into is the monitoring functionality.
@chiphunnicutt Chip, I'm in the same boat. Most bedside safes suck. I finally found one I like - it's a Fort Knox bedside lockbox with a simplex mechanical lock. No batteries, easy to punch in the code under stress, hard to accidentally unlock.
@yachdav_gilbar@chiphunnicutt It seems like the one I have might be discontinued. It's called the Fort Knox Original Pistol Box. Here's a link to it on the Ft. Knox website: http://www.ftknox.com/product/or.... Here is a vendor with better pictures: http://www.gunsafesamerica.com/f... They have several other models - I prefer the one with the door on top because it's easier to open the top and reach down vs opening the front and reaching in.
That's a product that solve a real problem! I wondered how it stands in lockpicking tests? Have you tested it with a pro lockpicker to compare it VS key locks and safes? How long does it takes for a pro to crack it? (compared to keys and code safes, as no lock is perfect)
@lorismaz Our chief designer is actually a locksmith. Been playing with locks since his childhood. Getting it open requires cutting it - and then getting a way into the barrel.
One of the strengths of the lock is that the access to the locking unit is limited by the actual gun. And that trying to get it out strengthens the locking force.
i think its a fantastic idea that i'm sure will save lives.

Interesting. Looks pretty well thought out.
The racking part wasn't very clear though - where the lock drops out and it's good to go. What's the point behind that?
@bigpicturebiz When locked ZORE X will prevent any attempt of racking the slide. After opening it racking the slide will eject the lock and chamber a fresh round.The point is to make the transition as fast as possible between locked to loaded and ready to shoot.
@lorismaz From our http://www.zore.life/faq:
1. ZORE X uses a CR2 Battery that will last for more than a year.
2. Three months before your battery drains, ZØRE X will send you notifications, reminding you to change your battery.
3. One month before the battery drains, when unlocking ZØRE X, it will not allow you to re-lock without changing the battery.
4. In addition, you are able to set your ZØRE X to open automatically before draining out.
5. If your battery drains out nonetheless, you are able to connect an external battery to give it power, enabling you to dial your code and open it.
How would this work while traveling? Say for example, you locked your handgun with ZORE and packed it (according to airline regulations) in your suitcase. Would the motion alarm go crazy each time the suitcase is moved? Is there a way to turn off the alarm but keep the lock in place?
@crispinheneise The alert modes can be changed according to your use. Same goes for if you are taking guns to the range - there would be no reason for movement notifications. You'd only want dial notifications (so you know if someone is turning the dial) as well as distance notifications.
