How to Secure a HoloLens device?
Hi,
We are getting a HoloLens (soon), and I'm just wondering what would be the best way to "lock" the device when I leave it in the office. Does the device have something like Kensington lock slot for laptops?
Thanks,
~h

Check your company insurance as HoloLens is a high value item and then think about a Yale Electronic safe to store the device or manual safe after all 50 dollars/Euros is well spent considering the device is worth $3000 any wont be easy to replace for six months. What happens if someone breaks it, while you are away, warranty does NOT cover this as another user has shown in a picture??. Insurances may cover damage?

It does not have a Kensington lock. I lock mine in my desk overnight.

Thanks, @Simusid @Jimbohalo10. I'll talk to IT to see if they can provide me with a safe or some kind of file cases with locks (my computer desk does not even have drawers). Having an insurance sounds like a good idea as well. Thanks, ~h
Hi holodoctor,
one of our customers is just experiencing the same issue with our HoloLens wanting to use it at an exhibition. From research and picking my brain I came to the idea of using a metal binding lock. You can buy one with an alarm even. I hope, this helps. A-M @ Surface.Love
