HIKROBOT MV-CT0CG0200/R/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

The HIKROBOT MV-CT0CG0200/R/NN/NN is the GigE-interface BASE model of the third-generation CT series area scan camera family. With a 1″ optical format rolling shutter Sony IMX178 CMOS sensor at 2.4 µm pixel size, it produces color images at 5472 × 3648 resolution (20.0 MP) and can reach up to 5.9 fps. A 65.9 dB dynamic range and 41.3 dB signal-to-noise ratio preserve rich detail in high-resolution captures. Gain is adjustable from 0 dB to 24 dB, and exposure time ranges from 46 µs to 2.78 s, giving wide coverage of lighting conditions. The high 20.0 MP resolution provides a strong sensor-side foundation for applications that need to capture fine detail across a wide field of view.

The MV-CT0CG0200/R/NN/NN uses a Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) data interface with an RJ45 connector, compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s), and supports the GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam standards. There is no separate control connector; control runs over the data interface. It is powered at 9 – 24 VDC, supports PoE, and typically consumes 1.6 W at 12 VDC. Measuring 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm and weighing approximately 116 g, it reaches IP40 protection when the lens and cables are correctly installed. It operates from -30 °C to 60 °C and uses a C-Mount lens connection. The BASE tier is designed for single-cable, PoE-enabled GigE setups.

Specifications

Key features

• Integrated lens and illumination. The MAX version integrates the lens and light source into the body; lens focusing and illumination control are handled from the camera.
• 100 metre cable reach. The Gigabit Ethernet interface transmits up to 100 metres without a relay; PoE allows power over a single cable.
• Open standard compliance. Works seamlessly with the GigE Vision V2.0 protocol, the GenICam standard and third-party software built on them.
• Waterproof connection. PRO and MAX versions use a fully waterproof M12 X-Code connector; IP67 is reached when correctly installed.
• Precision temperature control. PRO and MAX versions include a precision temperature control design for fast heat balance, which keeps measurement stable over long cycles.
• Automatic colour correction. Colour models of the PRO and MAX versions support auto colour correction based on multi-spectral fusion technology.

Where it is used

The 20.0 MP resolution and 5472 × 3648 pixel width suit applications that need a wide area captured in a single high-detail frame. The 5.9 fps frame rate is sufficient for measurement and inspection tasks that require high resolution rather than fast motion. The GigE interface with PoE support allows single-cable placement over distance, easing positioning on wide lines; it is suitable for large-format inspection and detailed surface examination work.

Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, line speed and surface characteristics. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
