SecuGen’s Hamster product line has already earned a name for its high quality and performance in demanding applications and Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is not an exception. Accuracy, durability and high affordability are the other characteristics inherent to this Hamster product.

Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV’s U20 fingerprint sensor is considered to be the industry’s most rugged and highly advance sensor. U20 fingerprint sensor’s inherent ruggedness makes it immune to scratches, impacts and vibrations. On top of that, it is equipped with some of SecuGen’s patented technologies making it outperform the competition. Its patented optic design is able to capture high quality fingerprint images with precise details, leading to fewer false acceptances and false rejections than its competitors.

SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV meets FBI’s image quality standards for PIV, FIPS 201 and Mobile ID FAP 20. That is not all; it comes with ability to reject fake fingerprints (spoofing attacks) to deter any attempts to circumvent its security.

Equipped with Smart Capture™ technology, SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV can scan dry, moist, aged, scarred and other difficult-to-scan fingers. Its performance does not fluctuate even in challenging environmental conditions environment such as high / low temperatures, high ambient lighting conditions, direct sunlight, etc.

SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV USB scanner is also equipped with Auto-On technology, which enables it to detect the finger presence on the sensing surface. It allows the device to save power when idle and turn on automatically as soon as finger is placed for scanning.

SecuGen fingerprint readers offer with great compatibility with different platforms and operating systems. Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV offers unmatched support for popular operating systems such as Android (version 3.1 and later), Microsoft Windows (version 10, 8.1, 8, 7, CE, Server 2016 / 2012 and Server 2008 R2) and Linux operating system.

SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV price is kept highly competitive, making it a great choice for first time adopters as well as existing users looking to upgrade their biometric security with multi-factor authentication.

Extensive documentation, support and SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV SDK allow software developers and system integrators to easily integrate Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV with their Android, Linux and Windows based applications. It enables users to use contact smart card reader + fingerprint instead of PIN / password for improved security and enhanced user experience. SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV SDK also allows developers to exploit full potential of the device.

FBI CERTIFIED

Conforms to FBI’s stringent PIV, FIPS 201 and Mobile ID FAP 10 image quality specifications, which makes it suitable for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and other FBI applications.

DURABLE

Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV’s durability stems from the high ruggedness of the SecuGen sensor it uses which has an unbreakable sensor prism. Sensors give consistent high quality output even in harsh and high usage scenarios. It provides dependable performance in both indoor and outdoor conditions.

ACCURATE

SecuGen sensors are extremely accurate; thanks to the patented optic that enables the acquisition of distortion-free images possible. Data points are extracted for matching from these images. Superior quality equates to greater precision, less false rejections and acceptances, and better overall performance.

AUTO-ON & SMART CAPTURE

Auto-On™ can detect finger presence on the sensor surface and turn on the device as soon as the finger is placed on the sensor. When it detects the finger placement on the sensing surface, Pro Duo SC/PIV turns on and starts the scanning operation. Smart Capture helps the device capture excellent quality fingerprints from moist, dry, scarred, aged or other difficult to scan fingers, allowing greater accuracy and reliability. It ensures the quality of the captured images at all times.

FEATURE-RICH SDK

Programmers understand how an SDK can be a game changer while integrating fingerprint readers with custom solutions. SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV SDK is a feature rich Software Developer Kit that incorporates minutiae-based recognition mechanism. It enables developers to integrate the fingerprint reader to the third party applications. Available free of cost, SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV SDK is equipped with chart leading algorithms, which makes device integration effortless.

SCANNER & CARD READER

Great choice for setting up multi-factor authentication with fingerprint + PC/SC, ISO 7816, EMV 2000 Level 1, and FIPS 201 compliant contact smart card reader.

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

Advanced optical sensor uses patented optic technology can scan high quality fingerprint images with low distortion levels. Distortion in fingerprint images can lead to errors in matching, which can further result in false acceptances or false rejections. Higher the quality of fingerprint images, better the results.

FAKE FINGERPRINT REJECTION

Do not let fake or latent fingerprints compromise your device’s security or performance. It comes equipped with an advance technology that rejects fake fingerprints and spoofing attacks right away. Its latent print rejection mechanism does not accept left behind fingerprints.

MAINTENANCE-FREE

The Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV sensor is built to survive shocks due to a tight assembly of its optic parts, which do not require re-calibration in case it is dropped. SecuGen sensors are made with a hard quartz-like material that resists scratches, ESD, other general stresses and corrosion even though it has no special coating. This design of Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV sensor is very different from other semiconductor-based sensors as well as other optical sensors in the market.

VALUE FOR MONEY

SecuGen’s fingerprint sensors are among the best-priced sensors in its category. SecuGen is able to offer lower costs, with consistent performance over years, as it designs, develops and manufactures its fingerprint sensors in-house. Despite being an affordable fingerprint reader, Pro Duo SC/PIV does not make any compromises with quality. SecuGen guarantees the very best quality product within the entire industry, which saves you the cost of replacements and prevent system downtime.
