A method of allowing access to a receptacle for securing a package includes: sensing an opening and closing of the lid; activating, in response to determining the lid is sufficiently closed, the lock mechanism to transition from the unlocked state to the locked state; scanning an email message in a user's email account to identify a reference or tracking number of a second package; parsing the email message to obtain a delivery code; receiving entry of the delivery code; activating the lock mechanism based on entry of the delivery code to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state; sensing a second opening and closing of the lid; activating the lock mechanism to transition from the unlocked state to the locked state; receiving information corresponding to entry of an access code; activating the lock mechanism to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state.

An auditable security system for preventing unlawful diversion of goods and/or services is provided. The security system includes a secure enclosure, an access control system that generates audit data, cameras proximal to the access control system, cameras located in the secure enclosure, a video management system that manages the cameras and generates video data, an exterior computing system configured to allow users to interface with the access control system, the video management system and data stored by the systems, and a database configured for storing data stored by the access control system and the video management system. When a user interacts with the access control system, the cameras begin generating audio and video data, which is stored, along with audit data, in the connected database. The audit data and video data is also provided to a third-party system for processing.

A safe. A safe lid is connected to a safe box via a hinge. A fascia assembly is connected to the safe lid and a latch assembly is connected to the safe box. The fascia assembly includes a keypad and a fascia assembly locking groove. The latch assembly includes a latch having a fascia assembly locking tab and a lock latch locking tab. The latch assembly also has a lock lever pivotally connected to the latch and the latch assembly. A motor in the latch assembly receives electrical inputs from the keypad. The latch assembly also has a key lock. A lock latch is connected to and controlled by the motor and the key lock. A lock latch reset spring is connected to the lock latch. The safe is locked when the fascia assembly locking tab is inserted into the fascia assembly locking groove and also when the lock latch locking tab is secured behind the lock latch. The safe is unlocked by entering a pass code into the key pad. This caused an electrical signal to be transmitted to the motor. The motor then operates to move the lock latch so that it releases the lock latch locking tab. The safe can also be opened by turning the key lock to move the lock latch so that it releases the lock latch locking tab.

A tamper-detection device and system are disclosed. The tamper-detection device includes one or more components which enable the tamper-detection device to detect a state change, even in the absence of a power supply. A capacitor is provided in the tamper-detection device that, when shorted, discharges and induces a state change at a microcontroller of the tamper-detection device.

In accordance with the embodiments disclosed herein, the present disclosure is related to a storage device for safely securing handguns while simultaneously enabling the handgun user to be immediately armed. Novel features comprise a quick-eject component that requires the user to use only one hand to both open the case and retrieve the gun; a configurable receiver that allows for the case to be compatible with different-size handguns; and an adjustable-tension component that enables configuration of the necessary tension so that the handgun is deployed with only the necessary amount of force. The disclosed storage device is mobile and lightweight and may be opened through various mechanisms, such as a biometric fingerprint reader. Methods for the manufacturing of such storage devices are also disclosed herein.

The present invention is a preferably rectangular sturdy, yet plastic, compartment or safe, small enough to fit inside a medicine cabinet, but large enough to house pill bottles and other medications. The safe has an openable and lockable front door that preferably comprises the safe's front wall. The safe also has laterally expandable side wings that also can be reduced inwardly to the width of the safe or expand beyond this size to contact and grip the interior sidewalls of the medicine cabinet. The wings are able to be locked in the chosen position. They are also preferably shaped to secure themselves and the safe inside a medicine cabinet. The safe door and the wings are lockable by a number of mechanisms, most preferably via a wireless signal transmitted from a device controlled by a local wireless network or internet enabled device. The wings and the front door are meant to lock and unlock together for security.
