Description
SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 (HU20) is an FBI (PIV) FIPS 201, FBI Mobile ID (FAP 20) compliant and STQC certified (UIDAI, Aadhaar) ultra-compact USB fingerprint scanner. This new entrant in SecuGen’s USB fingerprint scanner line-up brings market leading technologies in a nicely designed form factor.
This versatile fingerprint device is capable of scanning high quality fingerprint images even in challenging environmental conditions, thanks to SecuGen’s Smart Capture technology. Smart Capture allows Hamster Pro 20 to capture fingerprints from difficult-to-scan (e.g. dry, moist, aged or scarred) fingers even in strong ambient lighting.
It also comes equipped with SecuGen’s Auto-On technology, which enables it to detect finger placement on the sensing surface automatically and start the scanning operation.
Hamster Pro 20’s IP54 rated water and dust resistant construction ensures that dust, dirt and accidental liquid spills cannot sneak in and damage the internals. Ruggedness comes inherent with SecuGen Hamster Pro 20. However, despite being a rugged USB fingerprint scanner, Hamster Pro 20 makes no compromises with aesthetics. Its attractively slim profile can quickly tempt you to make it yours.
This little master is extremely easy to connect and setup. When connected to a USB port, SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 driver (WBF – Windows Biometric Framework) is automatically installed via Windows Update on computers with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or higher. However, SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 driver is also available on SecuGen’s official website to download and install manually.
Premium build quality and competitive pricing
Premium build quality is the first things you will notice at your first encounter with this USB fingerprint device. Its premium quality, however, is not only skin deep. It offers premium specifications along with a sealed construction, which means that it can withstand harsh environment and handling.
SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 price tag falls into the category reserved for premium USB fingerprint scanners. However, considering features and specifications of this fingerprint device, SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 price tag seems quite reasonable.
Extensive developer support and OS compatibility
If you intend to use Hamster Pro 20 with Windows 10, it can seamlessly integrate with Windows Hello, the biometric authentication component of the Windows 10 operating system. There is no need to install additional fingerprint software or any other tool. SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 driver is also installed automatically as you connect the device with your computer.
Hamster Pro 20 also supports Windows Biometric framework or WBF out-of-the-box. It allows you to add biometric security to authenticate your purchases on the Windows Store. WBF also supports fingerprint-based login on PCs which are running on Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 offers support for Android and Linux as well, making it one of the few USB fingerprint scanners in the market with such a wide range of support for different operating systems.
Hamster Pro 20 can be integrated with your custom applications effortlessly, thanks to fingerprint SDKs provided by SecuGen. These SDKs have in-built algorithms to implement SecuGen’s MINEX Certified Template Generator and Matcher. Developers can integrate Hamster Pro 20 with their Android, Linux and Windows based applications using these SDKs and enable users to use fingerprint instead of PIN / password for improved security and enhanced user experience.
