SecuGen Hamster Plus USB Optical Fingerprint Reader with Auto-On & Smart Capture

SecuGen Hamster Plus is a proven, high-quality USB optical fingerprint reader engineered for dependable biometric authentication across desktops, kiosks, and integrated security solutions. Built around SecuGen’s rugged SEIR optical technology, it delivers crisp 500 DPI images, automatically detects a finger touch, and self-adjusts to capture difficult fingerprints—including dry, wet, scarred, or aged skin—even in bright ambient light. Its hardened glass platen resists scratches, impacts, corrosion, and electrostatic shock, while the compact, ergonomic housing with removable weighted stand and integrated finger guide makes enrollment and verification fast and user friendly. Broad driver and SDK support for Windows (including Windows 11), Windows Server editions, Android, and Linux helps developers embed strong fingerprint security into virtually any application environment.

Product Features

High-Performance SEIR Optical Sensor

SecuGen’s patented Surface Enhanced Irregular Reflection (SEIR) optical technology produces high-contrast, low-distortion fingerprint images at 500 DPI, supporting accurate matching and reduced false rejections/acceptances in real-world deployments.

Auto-On Automatic Finger Detection

Auto-On technology senses when a finger touches the platen and triggers capture instantly—no extra prompts—speeding logins and reducing user friction in high-throughput environments (application support required).

Smart Capture for Difficult Fingers & Challenging Lighting

Smart Capture dynamically adjusts sensor brightness to acquire clean images from dry, moist, wet, scarred, aged, or otherwise hard-to-scan fingers—even under strong ambient light or direct sunlight—improving enrollment success rates and day‑to‑day reliability.

Rugged, Maintenance‑Free Hardened Glass Platen

The hardened sensor surface resists scratches, impact, vibration, corrosion, and electrostatic shock, and can be wiped clean without special coatings—ideal for heavy use in public counters, clinics, banks, and field operations.

Ergonomic, Compact Design with Removable Weighted Stand

A comfortable finger guide, small footprint, and removable stand let you position the reader for enrollment desks, embedded terminals, or mobile kits; the stand adds stability when needed and removes for tight integrations.

Latent Print Rejection & Data Protection

Built‑in latent print rejection helps prevent previously left fingerprints on the glass from being re‑read, while template encryption options (with SecuGen proprietary formats) and Device Recognition technology support secure, trusted deployments when used with SecuGen SDKs.

Broad Platform & Developer Support

Current drivers and SDK resources support Windows desktop and server versions (including Windows 11), plus Android and Linux environments—making it straightforward to add fingerprint authentication to custom applications, identity management platforms, and enterprise security stacks.

Deployed for Multiple Security & Compliance Use Cases

Suitable for secure PC login, network/enterprise access, banking & financial transactions, healthcare records, and time & attendance systems where reliable identity verification and auditability matter.
