HIKROBOT MV-CS050-60GM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Stacked BSI, GigE, Mono, 23 fps
The MV-CS050-60GM is a second-generation 5 MP GigE monochrome camera in the CS series, built on a Stacked BSI global-shutter CMOS sensor (2/3″, 3.45 μm pixels). It stands out in the 5 MP group for image quality: 42.4 dB SNR and 73.9 dB dynamic range at 2448 × 2048, with 23 fps in Mono 8. Two exposure modes are available — high full well capacity (30 μs to 10 s) and high sensitivity (5 μs to 10 s) — letting the user prioritize either highlight headroom or low-light response.
Network connection is Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s, compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet) with up to 100 m transmission distance without relay, and PoE eliminates the separate power cable; alternatively 9–24 VDC can be fed via the 6-pin P7 connector, with a typical 2.3 W at 12 VDC. The P7 connector carries the opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional Line 2. Sequencer, plus ISP functions such as CCM, Super Palette and Super Bayer, are available on-camera, and the 29 × 29 × 42 mm C-mount body (approx. 100 g) is GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliant.

Where it is used
The high SNR and 73.9 dB dynamic range make this camera a strong choice where scenes contain both bright reflections and dark features — metal surfaces, welds, glossy components — and where measurement repeatability depends on low noise. It suits dimensional gauging, PCB and electronics inspection, and defect detection on lines where 23 fps is sufficient, with the 100 m GigE reach supporting installations far from the processing PC.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
