SecuGen® Hamster™ Plus
Product Overview
SecuGen Hamster Plus
The Hamster Plus from SecuGen is a stand-alone fingerprint reader. It uses the patented SEIR fingerprint biometric technology which combines extraordinary image quality for dry, normal, and moist finger conditions with mechanical and electrical robustness. It can easily be connected to any USB port and is fully compatible with our LAN solution. Besides desktop applications, the Hamster Plus is also suited to multiuser environments. For integrating this sensor into your application, we recommend our BioIDENTICA SDK which guarantees highest recognition performance and interoperability with the most important sensors on the market.
