Poor scan success rate

I have used other fingerprint scanners in the past with no problems. I set this up and enrolled 4 fingerprints but the recognition success rate was terrible. In most cases, 3 or 4 attempts are required to successfully scan. Registering fingerprints again did not help. I ended up returning it and trying a competitor which gives me around 95% scanning success.

Pros
  • Corrosion and Ergonomic Discharge (ESD)
Cons
  • Poor guidance

Always works great

Always works great. I haven't had any fingerprint recognition issues on either Windows 7 or Windows 10. It doesn't come with Fingerprint Management (FMA) software to enter your fingerprints when running Windows 7, but I believe Windows 10 offers this with the user's signature. By category. I've been using it for over a month now and just upgraded to Windows 10 with no issues.

Pros
  • 500 dpi resolution
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

WORKS GREAT

When I started Hamster it said "fingerprint recognition problems". This happened twice but the third time it said it was done so I tried 5 times and each time it opened the computer immediately without trying again. I tried another brand and no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't register my fingerprint. I was wary of some of the negative reviews; but since I always check the website for the latest drivers, they didn't bother me. I think there should be at least one sheet of paper with…

Pros
  • Auto power on detects live fingers
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
