Digital Persona U.are.U 4500 Fingerprint Reader

Very neat device. Works well with a SDK from Crossmatch both in Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu Linux 14.04 32-bit.

Painfully expensive piece of e-waste. Enrolment appears to work but then the finger is not recognized. Tried both on Windows and Linux for a solid 0% chance of success. Tried multiple fingers and hands, and even asked a friend to try in case my prints were somehow special.Nothing.

We use one of these to speed up logging into various websites and programs where we are forced to log in throughout the day. Now we can login just by putting a finger on the fingerprint reader. We are able to login to windows 7 this way and various websites via IE. However some software is not supported (chrome the last time we looked). We have still found it to be a great time saver.It also allows people to login to only the programs/websites they need. If they try to do anything without permission they don't know the PCs passwords so are unable to access them.We have tried a few fingerprint readers and this one is the only one we found to be reliable and work straight away 99.5% of the time. it is also very quick (responds in 1 second).

Don't buy one of these unless you are a software programmer and can write your own software to get this item working. An extensive search of the net shows that there is no longer any software around for general use to get this device working. It would no doubt serve as a replacement on a computer that already has one of these installed - but that's about it.I don't think Amazon should be listing these for sale any more, as its misleading to buyers. I'm still trying to get a refund on the one I bought.

The product is okay but until now I can’t use it because it’s need some kind of drivers which I didn’t have nor ordered.

I saw the picture of digital persona that has red circle, but I was given HID blue. The device was not

Product is fine, but the support and software are a disasterCrossmatch have been bought out and no trial software is available. I have been passed from website to website and from support to support. I get 1 line emails that tell me nothing and have just about had enough.Potentially, I want to buy hundreds of these and I still cant get anything from the customer service other than I have to pay another $149 to get access to a development portal to possibly get access to some software.Even then, I cant seem to get any details of how to do that.They are a nightmare and on experience so far, keep away from Crossmatch !!!

I'm very impressed. I needed the item urgently and the seller delivered promptly. The item was received in very good condition. Thanks
