SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV combines SecuGen’s newest U20 fingerprint sensor with PIV compliant contact smart card reader. Featuring a compact, ergonomic design, the Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is built with the industry’s most rugged and advanced optical sensor using patented and patent-pending fingerprint technology. The high image quality fingerprint reader is FBI Certified as meeting FIPS 201 (PIV) and Mobile ID FAP 20 requirements.

Deesigned primarily for FIPS 201 (PIV) applications, SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is also suitable for any contact smart card application such as physical access control, personal identity verification, and national ID programs where dual factor authentication is needed for higher security without sacrificing convenience.

As with all devices containing SecuGen’s advanced U20 sensor, the Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV features Fake Finger Rejection for enhanced security.

    • High-performance, maintenance-free optical fingerprint sensor
    • Sensor resistant to scratches, impact, vibration and electrostatic shock
    • Auto-On™ (Automatic Finger Placement Detection)*
    • Smart Capture™ (Automatic Image Adjustment to Accomodate Moist & Dry Fingers)**
    • USB connection
    • Removable weighted stand
    • Compact, lightweight and portable
    • Integrated finger guide
    • Readily accessible for any finger
    • When used with SecuGen Software:
      • Fast and accurate verification
      • Latent print image removal (does not accept prints left behind)
      • Encryption of fingerprint templates (with SecuGen Proprietary templates)
      • Fingerprint Device Recognition™
      • Multi-Device Connection™

*Auto-On™ is an Automatic Finger Placement Detection technology that automatically checks for the presence of a finger. When used with Auto-On-compatible software, the Hamster Pro will turn on and scan your finger as soon as you touch the sensor – all without having to prompt the system.

** Smart Capture™ ensures quality fingerprint scanning of difficult fingers. By automatically adjusting the brightness of the sensor, Smart Capture allows the Hamster Pro to capture high quality fingerprints from a wide range of traditionally difficult fingers, including those from dry, wet, scarred or aged skin, and even in bright ambient conditions such as under direct sunlight.
