Claim 17:
18. A medical cabinet system comprising:
an optical scanner that is configured to scan products;
a cabinet adapted to be positioned in a room, the cabinet comprising:
a plurality of drawers configured to secure products from open removal from the cabinet unless unlocked by the system,
a display monitor,
a computer that is configured to lock the plurality of drawers and unlock one or more drawers in response to a user providing one or more credentials to authenticate the user on the medical cabinet system, and
a camera that is configured to record a view of activity in the room,

wherein the medical cabinet system is configured to store serial numbers for individual items stored in the drawers by loading the serial number when the item is scanned using the optical scanner and inserted in the drawers, and wherein the cabinet maintains the status of the items using the serial numbers when authorized users take items from the cabinet; and
a plurality of portable open-top inventory trays positioned in the room, each of the trays comprising a planar top surface adapted to be open for access by hand of users, regardless of whether users are authenticated, to receive packaged medicine or other regulated healthcare related device for stocking or dispensing on the trays,
wherein the cabinet system is configured to allow users to login to the system while in view of the cabinet to authenticate the user and record video of users that interact with the trays,
wherein the system is configured to update the serial number of the item taken from the tray,
whereby the trays provide an expansion of the cabinet by providing one or more trays that provide open access to items from the top side of the tray, and
wherein when a sensor of the tray is activated:
the cabinet activates the camera to record a user including the user's action,
the tray communicates with another nearby device via wireless communications an update including the weight change, and
during a sleep mode operating in a lower power mode than an active mode until the sensor is activated, the tray maintains the time and measures time since last update was transmitted.
