HID DigitalPersona U.are.U 4500 USB Fingerprint Reader
The HID DigitalPersona U.are.U 4500 is an optical USB fingerprint reader built for desktop office environments, point-of-sale stations, and shared-workstation settings needing reliable biometric authentication. It captures fingerprints at 512 dpi resolution across a 14.6mm x 18.1mm scan area, using 8-bit grayscale imaging (256 levels of grey) for clear, accurate detail. A silicone coating on the sensor allows the reader to capture fingerprints accurately regardless of the angle a finger is placed, while a weighted metal casing resists unintentional movement during regular use. The reader’s “smart-touch” scanning technology helps reject latent or counterfeit fingerprint images, adding a layer of protection against spoofing attempts.
