HIKROBOT MV-CS050-60GN — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Stacked BSI, GigE, Near IR, 23 fps

The MV-CS050-60GN is the near-infrared enhanced variant of the second-generation Stacked BSI GigE camera in the CS series. It shares the 2/3″ global-shutter sensor with 3.45 μm pixels, 2448 × 2048 resolution at 23 fps in Mono 8, 42.4 dB SNR and 73.9 dB dynamic range, but is specified for Near IR imaging rather than visible mono or color. Exposure can be run in high full well capacity mode (30 μs–10 s) or high sensitivity mode (5 μs–10 s).
Connection is Gigabit Ethernet with Fast Ethernet compatibility and up to 100 m without relay; PoE or a 9–24 VDC supply on the 6-pin P7 connector powers the camera at a typical 2.3 W (12 VDC). Trigger input (opto-isolated, Line 0), output (opto-isolated, Line 1) and a non-isolated bi-directional line (Line 2) are on the same connector. Pixel formats are Mono 8/10/10Packed/12/12Packed, gain runs 0–24 dB with automatic or manual control alongside exposure, LUT and Gamma, and the 29 × 29 × 42 mm C-mount housing is GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliant.

Where it is used
NIR-enhanced sensitivity is used where visible light is uninformative or unwanted: inspecting through tinted or semi-transparent packaging, checking fill levels in containers, agricultural and food sorting under IR illumination, and reading marks that become visible only in the near-infrared. The 73.9 dB dynamic range helps when IR illumination is uneven, and the 100 m PoE-capable GigE link suits fixed installations away from the control room.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
