SecuGen USB fingerprint readers are made with the industry’s most rugged and advanced optical sensors using patented SEIR™ technology to give you the highest quality in fingerprint biometrics
A FIPS 201 / PIV compliant high-performance and versatile fingerprint reader with Auto-On™
What is Auto-On™?
Auto-On is a feature that allows the SecuGen Hamster Plus to automatically detect the presence of a finger when it’s placed on the sensor. With Auto-On enabled*, you can quickly and easily identify yourself, making fingerprint biometrics even more convenient to use.
* Auto-On is built in to the sensor but needs to be enabled by the software application

Benefits
SecuGen USB fingerprint readers are easy to install and use with software applications designed with fingerprint identification or verification functions that let your fingerprints act like digital passwords that cannot be lost, forgotten or stolen. SecuGen readers provide consistent performance and security for a growing number of applications and are supported by a wide range of operating systems and computing environments.
SecuGen readers are backed by the industry’s best quality guarantee and years of field use and proven performance under extreme conditions. This helps avoid the cost and inconvenience of field replacements of damaged units made by other sensor manufacturers.
When used for biometric authentication as part of an overall security program, SecuGen readers can help reduce the hassles of password overload, decrease the risks of security breaches, improve accountability and add true non-repudiation, all while making it more convenient and intuitive for almost any user
SecuGen Sensors are Known for their High Quality
Durable : SecuGen fingerprint sensors are very rugged and feature a virtually indestructible sensor prism. From the sensor surface to the internal lens and electronic components, SecuGen sensors are designed to be strong and dependable to deliver consistent performance in indoor, outdoor and other harsh environments.
Accurate : SecuGen sensors are very accurate thanks to a patented optic design that produces distortion-free images from which data points are extracted for matching. Higher quality images mean greater precision, less false rejection and acceptance, and better overall performance.
Maintenance-free : Unlike semiconductor-based sensors and other optical sensors in the market, SecuGen sensors are made with a hard quartz-like material that needs no coatings but resists scratches, ESD, corrosion and other stress. The optic parts are tightly assembled so that if the sensors are ever dropped, there is no need for recalibration
Cost-effective : SecuGen designs, develops and manufactures its own fingerprint sensors, which are built to last. SecuGen guarantees the best product quality in the industry, which translates into savings by eliminating costly replacements and losses from system downtime.
Patented Surface Enhanced Irregular Reflection (SEIR™) optical technology for clear image quality with high contrast, high signal-to-noise ratio, and practically no distortion
•
High Sensor-to-Sensor Consistency for high accuracy when matching templates enrolled with different fingerprint readers
•
Solid engineering and superior materials allows for use under extreme conditions
•
Can be integrated into FIPS 201 compliant applications using SecuGen’s MINEX certified Template Extractor and Matcher algorithms (via SecuGen SDK Collection) or using 3rd party MINEX algorithms
•
Checks for and rejects latent fingerprints and 2-D fingerprint images (i.e. photocopies) 1
Encryption of fingerprint templates so they cannot be used to reconstruct fingerprint images 2
Multi-Device Connectivity™
•
Allows multiple FDU04 devices to be connected to one computer at the same time 2
Device Recognition™
Uses a programmable internal serial number to identify and differentiate FDU04 devices 2
