SecuGen Hamster Plus Optical Fingerprint Reader
The SecuGen Hamster Plus is a compact optical USB fingerprint reader built for enterprise, healthcare, finance, and government access control applications needing reliable biometric authentication at an accessible price. It captures fingerprints at 500 DPI resolution (260 x 300 pixels) across a 14.6mm x 17.9mm platen, using 256 levels (8-bit) LED imaging for clear, distortion-free scans. A scratch-resistant, hardened glass sensor requires no special coating or maintenance, resisting electrostatic discharge and corrosion over time. Auto-On technology detects finger presence and wakes the sensor automatically, while Smart Capture adjusts brightness on the fly to reliably read dry, wet, aged, or scarred fingers — and 360-degree fingerprint rotation means users don’t need to align their finger precisely on the sensor.
