SecuGen Hamster™ Pro 30 Fingerprint Scanner (HU30) FAP30

The Hamster Pro 30 is SecuGen’s latest fingerprint FAP30 reader and is FIPS 201 (PIV) FBI certified.  The ultra-compact, high image quality USB fingerprint reader that is very low priced and suitable for large deployments. Featuring a low-profile and water-resistant design, the Hamster Pro 30 is built with the industry’s most rugged and advanced optical sensor using patented fingerprint technology. The Hamster Pro 30  can be used for authentication, identification and verification functions that let your fingerprints act like digital passwords that cannot be lost, forgotten or stolen.

Auto-On technology allows the sensor to check for the presence of a finger without having to launch specific software or terminals. The scanner will automatically sense and scan a finger once it’s placed on the reader. Smart Capture technology helps capture fingerprints from difficult fingers by automatically adjusting the brightness of the sensor. With this technology, users with dry, wet, scarred, or aged skin can use the sensor. This scanner also works in varying lighting conditions, including direct sunlight.

When used with SecuGen software, this sensor provides fast and accurate verification, latent print image removal, encryption of fingerprint templates, Fingerprint Device Recognition, and Multi-Device Connection.

Windows Hello

The Hamster Pro works with Windows Hello right out of the box for quick and secure fingerprint login to Windows 10 without a password. There is no need to install any other software. Instructions for how to login to Windows

Benefits of Using SecuGen Fingerprint Readers

Accurate

SecuGen sensors are very accurate thanks to a patented optic design that produces high quality images for greater precision, fewer false rejections and false acceptances, and better overall performance compared to competing fingerprint sensors.

Durable

With a virtually indestructible sensor prism, the SecuGen sensor is extremely rugged. SecuGen sensors are designed to be strong and dependable for consistent scanning all the time, whether outdoors, under harsh conditions, or in high traffic environments.

Cost-effective

SecuGen designs, develops, and manufactures its own fingerprint sensors that are built to last and deliver solid performance for years, making SecuGen sensors the most cost effective choice.

Maintenance-Free

Unlike semiconductor-based sensors and other optical sensors, SecuGen sensors are made with hardened glass that needs no coatings or special protection. SecuGen sensors resist scratches, ESD, corrosion, and other stresses and can be easily wiped clean without fear of damage.

SecuGen fingerprint readers are easy to use and can be installed quickly on any Windows PC. Backed by the industry’s best warranty, years of field use and proven reliability under extreme conditions, SecuGen fingerprint readers provide consistent performance and security for a growing number of software applications for desktop, mobile, network, enterprise and Internet environments.

When used for biometric authentication as part of an overall security program, SecuGen fingerprint readers can help reduce the hassles of password overload, decrease the risks of security breaches, improve accountability and add true non-repudiation, all while making it more convenient and intuitive for any user.

Look to SecuGen for advanced, fingerprint biometric technologies that let your fingerprints act like digital passwords that cannot be lost, forgotten or stolen.
