Hamster Pro 20 Reader
The SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 provides high-security biometric authentication through an FBI PIV and Mobile ID FAP 20 certified optical sensor. This hardware utilizes advanced imaging technology to capture high-resolution 500 DPI fingerprint images for secure identity verification. It interfaces directly with Windows, Linux, and Android systems via a standard USB 2.0 connection. The internal U20-A sensor architecture ensures consistent performance in high-traffic environments. Consequently, it serves as a critical component for network security, logical access control, and civil identification programs.
Key Features
-
Auto-On Automatic Finger Detection
The sensor automatically detects the presence of a finger and initiates the scanning process without software triggers. -
Smart Capture Technology
- Adjusts brightness dynamically for dry or wet fingers.
- Ensures high-contrast images for difficult-to-scan skin types.
- Reduces false rejection rates across diverse user populations.
-
Ruggedized Optical Sensor
The glass platen resists scratches, impacts, and chemical corrosion to maintain long-term image clarity. -
IP65 Rated Housing
The casing provides protection against dust ingress and water splashes for deployment in varied workspaces.
