SecuGen Hamster IV is an FBI FIPS 201 / PIV compliant optical fingerprint scanner with USB 2.0 connection.

Scanner's manufacturer specifies that Hamster IV is based on a sensor that contains an optical prism that is resistant to scratches, impact, corrosion and electrostatic discharge. Also specified that scanner's optics ensure high quality distortion-free fingerprint images. The scanner is also able to capture fingerprints that are difficult to scan: dry, moist, aged fingerprints, fingerprints with scars or other problematic fingerprints.

Hamster IV is able to detect and reject latent fingerprints and 2-D spoof fingerprint images (i.e. photocopies).

Support modules for this scanner are included in MegaMatcher 4.3 SDK, MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 SDK, VeriFinger 6.5 SDK and Free Fingerprint Verification SDK.
