SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is an ultimate combination of fingerprint and contact-less smart card reader for user identification and authentication purposes. Designed 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.
Design
SecuGen Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is a compact, ergonomically designed fingerprint plus a contact smartcard reader. It is built with the industry’s most rugged and advanced optical sensor using patented and patent-pending fingerprint technology. The USB is bus powered and does not require additional power supply. Any finger can be readily scanned and a high quality image can be captured.
Combination of Fingerprint and Smartcard Reader
SecuGen’s Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV combines newest U20 fingerprint sensor with PIV compliant contact smart card reader built with a virtually indestructible sensor prism which enables multi-factor authentication. Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV promises a convenient yet peerless security solution overriding the risk posed by PINs and passwords.
Certified Quality
Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is FBI Certified as meeting FIPS 201 (PIV) and FAP 20 Mobile ID requirements. It is also listed on GSA FIPS 201 Approved Products List.
Rejection of False Fingerprints
The patented optical sensor enables the rejection of false fingerprints such as latent prints and 2-D images. The fingerprint data of an organization is protected with templates that cannot be used to reconstruct fingerprint images.
High Image Quality with Patented Fingerprint Technology
Secugen’s Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is built with the industry’s most rugged and advanced optical sensor using patented fingerprint technology. The sensor is resistant to scratches, impact, vibration and electrostatic shock. The quality of the image is high and ensures reliability and performance.
Auto-On for Automatic Finger Placement Detection
Auto-On™ is an technology that automatically checks for the presence of a finger. When used with Auto-On-compatible software, the Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV will turn on and scan your finger as soon as you touch the sensor – all without having to prompt the system.
Automated Quality Adjustment with Smart Capture
Smart Capture™ ensures quality fingerprint scanning of difficult fingers. By automatically adjusting the brightness of the sensor, Smart Capture allows the Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV 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.
Consistent Performance in Multiple Environments
With an array of like Smart Capture, Auto-on, fake finger rejection, and best warranty, Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV is proven to be reliable even 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.
