DigitalPersona 4500 Hardware Outline
The DigitalPersona 4500 fingerprint reader is a USB peripheral perfect for individual desk top users, as well as multiple users in shared environments. Its compact design conserves desk space in enterprises, and its professional, modern appearance looks elegant in point-of sale environments.
The DigitalPersona 4500 reader,
utilizes optical fingerprint scanning technology to achieve excellent image quality, a large capture area and, superior reliability. A silicone coating allows it to read a wide range of fingerprints accurately and rapidly regardless of placement angle. The high-quality metal casing resists unintentional movement.
To use,
simply place a finger on the reader window and the reader quickly and automatically captures and encrypts the fingerprint image before sending it to the DigitalPersona® FingerJet™ biometric engine for verification. For superior user feedback, a red “flash” indicates that a fingerprint image has been captured. The DigitalPersona 4500 fingerprint reader is designed for use with a full range of software.

Features:
- Blue LED
- Small form factor
- Excellent image quality
- Superior ESD resistance
- Encrypted fingerprint data
- Latent print rejection
- Counterfeit finger rejection
- Rotation invariant
- Rugged
- Works well with dry, moist or rough fingerprints

Hamster Pro 10 Hardware Outline
What’s Inside a Hamster Pro 10?
At the heart of the Hamster Pro 10 reader is an ultra-slim U10 fingerprint sensor with advanced features including:
- Auto-On™ automatically detects the presence of a finger when placed on the reader for quick and easy authentication
- Smart Capture™ captures high quality fingerprints from dry, moist, aged, scarred as well as, difficult-to-scan fingers for greater accuracy and reliability
- High durability and ruggedness with proven resistance to electrostatic shock, impact, drops, scratches, extreme temperatures, humidity, and contaminants such as sweat, dirt, and oil
- Patented optical technologies for clear, accurate imaging with high contrast, high signal-to-noise ratio and low distortion
- Reliable performance even under challenging conditions and tough environments.
- Rejection of false fingerprints such as latent prints and 2-D images
- Fingerprint data protection with templates that cannot be used to reconstruct fingerprint images
- Greater sensor-to-sensor consistency for high accuracy when matching fingerprints enrolled with different fingerprint readers at different locations

Features
- Accurate, patented optical USB fingerprint sensor with 500 DPI resolution
- Auto-OnTM automatic finger detection and Smart CaptureTM for quality scanning of dry, moist, aged, scarred, and difficult-to-scan fingers
- Scratch, impact, corrosion, and electrostatic shock resistant glass platen
- Ultra slim and compact, low profile design
- IP54 certified for dust and water-resistance
- Supports international and U.S. biometric standards
Benefits
- Improved security with convenience and reduced password reset requests because fingerprints act like digital passwords that cannot be lost, forgotten or stolen
- Improved accountability by allowing users to quickly and easily prove their identities with their fingerprints
- Reliable and consistent performance for an ever-increasing number of applications designed for mobile, desktop, network, enterprise, and Internet environments
