SecuGen Hamster Plus (HSDU03P) – Professional USB Fingerprint Reader

The SecuGen Hamster Plus (HSDU03P) is a highly popular, versatile, and professional-grade USB optical fingerprint reader engineered for secure desktop login, identification, verification, and high-volume public enrollment applications. Powered by SecuGen’s patented SEIR (Surface Enhanced Irregular Reflection) optical technology and an SDU03P contact sensor, it produces distortion-free, high-resolution fingerprint graphics designed to minimize false acceptance and rejection rates.

Equipped with a sturdy, removable weighted stand and an ergonomic finger guide, the device features Smart Capture technology to dynamically adjust illumination for difficult-to-scan skin (dry, wet, sweaty, aged, or scarred). It also integrates Auto-On finger detection capabilities, reacting automatically the moment a finger is placed on its virtually indestructible, scratch- and shock-resistant hardened glass platen.
