HIKROBOT MV-CS004-10UM V5 — Area Scan Cameras
0.4 MP, Sony IMX287, USB3.0, Mono, 525.5 fps

The MV-CS004-10UM V5 is the V5 release of the Sony IMX287-based 0.4 MP monochrome USB3.0 camera in the small-resolution USB branch of the CS series. It delivers 525.5 fps at 720 × 540 in Mono 8, with 42.7 dB SNR and 73.4 dB dynamic range preserving the global-shutter sensor’s character. The notable difference on the datasheet is the power budget: typical consumption drops to 1.7 W at 5 VDC, and the storage temperature ceiling rises to 80 °C.
The camera takes both data and power over USB3.0 (USB2.0 backward compatible); its 1.7 W draw eases the power margin in multi-camera setups running on bus power, and 9–24 VDC external supply via the P7 connector remains available. Line 0 (opto-isolated input) and Line 1 (opto-isolated output) wire directly to a PLC or light controller, while Line 2 serves as a flexible non-isolated bi-directional line. The 29 × 29 × 30 mm body mounts from four sides, and USB3.0 Vision / GenICam compliance lets the same software interfaces as the earlier release be used.

Where it is used
Its combination of low power draw and high frame rate suits multi-camera test cells fed from a single USB hub and portable inspection fixtures. Tracking small, fast-moving parts in feeding, placement and vibratory-bowl systems is a typical use. The 80 °C storage rating adds margin for projects where cameras are shipped and stocked in hot climates.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
