HID Global has unveiled a new look for HID Global’s DigitalPersona 4500 optical fingerprint reader. Providing the same functionality as its predecessor, the new DigitalPersona 4500 is a fast and easy-to-use optical USB fingerprint reader in a compact form factor.
Optical fingerprint scanning technology is utilized 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 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 user feedback, a red “flash” indicates that a fingerprint image has been captured.
