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
An ultra-fast, high-performance and versatile fingerprint reader with Auto-On™ & Smart Capture™
What is Auto-On™?
Auto-On is a feature that allows the SecuGen Hamster IV 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.
What is Smart Capture™?
Smart Capture* automatically adjusts the brightness of the sensor, allowing it to capture high quality fingerprints from a greater spectrum of traditionally difficult fingers ranging from dry to moist.
Auto-On automatically turns on sensor when it detects a finger
•
Smart Capture ensures quality fingerprint scanning of difficult fingers
•
Hardened fingerprint contact area that’s resistant to scratches, impact, corrosion and electrostatic discharge (ESD)
•
Compact and ergonomically designed to work with any finger or thumb
•
Integrated finger guide
•
Removable, weighted stand
•
USB connection
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.
