HID DigitalPersona 4500, Bulk, USB Fingerprint Reader, USB 2.0, Bulk Version, optical, Resolution: 512 dpi, 256 grayscale levels, Weight: 0.105 kg, Logo: DigitalPersona, SDK sold separately (50013-001-104)

Unlike generic USB fingerprint scanners, the HID DigitalPersona 4500 in bulk packaging is built for high-volume deployments where reliability and consistent image quality matter. Its optical sensor captures 512 dpi with 256 grayscale levels, delivering the detail needed for accurate matching in enterprise environments. The bulk version omits retail packaging and the SDK, keeping costs down for integrators and IT departments who already have their own software stack.

Highlights

• Optical fingerprint sensor with 512 dpi resolution and 256 grayscale levels
• USB 2.0 interface for broad compatibility with desktops, laptops, and thin clients
• Bulk version – ideal for volume purchases; SDK available separately
• Compact and lightweight: 105 g, hardened plastic housing
• Supports Windows, Linux, and Android operating systems

In daily use

The DigitalPersona 4500 sits stably on a desk or can be mounted near a workstation. Its optical sensor works reliably across a wide range of finger conditions, and the 14.6 x 18.1 mm scan area captures enough of the fingerprint for accurate verification. Powered directly from the USB port, it draws only 120 mA, so it won’t strain bus-powered hubs. The device operates from 0°C to 40°C and tolerates humidity from 20% to 80% non-condensing, making it suitable for most office and light industrial environments.
