SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 FBI Certified USB Fingerprint Reader

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.
