I want to be able to scan keys, because I have collection of a couple hundred keys, most of which open about 3 dozen locks in my purview. I want to be able to take a picture of a key, and it would then put the bitting information into a database, in a manageable order, so I can quickly and easily find all of the duplicates for a specific lock.

No nefarious purposes intended. Just want to stop the frustration of finding an unlabeled key with no idea what it’s for (and I don’t want keys labeled, because I don’t want to give a thief directions to where it goes).

In jr high – (mid ’70s) I just happened to have some keys in my pocket (farm kid here) and while walking by the notebook vending machine, watched my right hand grab a random key from my pocket and put it in the lock. IT OPENED! Surprised the heck out of me! I quickly locked it back up.

However, I was seen by a teacher and ultimately received three whacks from the Board of Education!

I too have grown older and wiser since then.

Very nice idea. The photo is transmitted, with the location, to a thievery corporation. Also, with some luck, they can get personal info, ID cards, o even credit cards numbers. And the not educated User thinks he /she is the clever one.

Ditto in the quikset.

Motion detection via pir and dvr begins at 50 yards/100 on pavement. I set up a bash script to pause the Rokus and display cameras when motion is detected outside. All parking is concealed from public via street or air. Someone’s usually home, with multiple loaded force multipliers staged and or carried any time I’m dressed. And we all have state specific legal training and prepaid legal defense insurance should we need to call a coroner to come remove an intruder.

The most secure brass keys don’t deter unauthorized entry nearly as well as a little lead and living in a US state that values the domicile.
