LEARN MOREHamster IV Description
SecuGen Hamster IV is FBI and STQC certified USB fingerprint reader. It is made with the industry’s most rugged and advanced optical sensor using patented SEIR technology to give you the highest quality in biometric scanner.
Hamster IV optical finger scanner is ergonomically designed, resistant to scratch, impact and electrostatic discharge due to its hardened contact area. Another remarkable feature of Hamster IV is the Auto-On function, Auto-On is an Automatic Finger Placement Detection technology that automatically checks for the presence of a finger. When used with Auto-On-compatible software, the Hamster IV will turn on and scan your finger as soon as you touch the sensor – all without having to prompt the system. Smart Capture ensures quality fingerprint scanning of difficult fingers. By automatically adjusting the brightness of the sensor, Smart Capture allows the Hamster IV to capture high quality fingerprints from a wide range of traditionally difficult fingers, including those from dry, wet, scarred or aged skin, and even in bright ambient conditions such as under direct sunlight.
Hamster IV finger reader can be used with fingerprint reader software to capture high quality fingerprint images for maintaining biometric access control. This versatile biometric device has proved its worth in applications as varied as finance and banking, point of sales machines, medical information systems, B2B transactions, e-commerce, time and attendance, etc.
