HIKROBOT MV-CS004-10GM — Area Scan Cameras
0.4 MP, Sony IMX297, GigE, Mono, 125.2 fps

The MV-CS004-10GM sits at the small-resolution end of the CS series: a 0.4 MP monochrome area-scan camera built around the 1/2.9″ Sony IMX297 global-shutter CMOS. Its 720 × 540 array runs at up to 125.2 fps, and the large 6.9 μm × 6.9 μm pixels deliver 41 dB SNR with 62.3 dB dynamic range. An UltraShort exposure mode starting at 1 μs lets it freeze fast-moving parts without motion blur.
Over Gigabit Ethernet the camera can be cabled up to 100 m without a repeater and remains backward compatible with Fast Ethernet; with PoE, power and data share one cable, otherwise it accepts 9–24 VDC. The 6-pin Hirose connector carries an opto-isolated input (Line 0), an opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2) for trigger and strobe wiring. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm body has mounting holes on four sides, and GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam compliance means it is recognised directly by third-party vision software.

Where it is used
The 720 × 540 / 125.2 fps combination suits fast production lines where the task is presence/absence, position confirmation or counting rather than fine detail. Its large pixels tolerate short exposures on packaging and filling lines, and the small housing works as a guidance camera on robot arms. The long GigE cable reach is an advantage wherever the camera must sit far from the control cabinet.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
