HIKROBOT MV-CS200-RC — Area Scan Cameras
20 MP, IMX183, USB3.0, Color, 19.2 fps

FCC appearing next to CE, RoHS and KC on the certification line is the first thing that sets the MV-CS200-RC apart within this 20 MP group; as the manufacturer’s table does not explain the RC suffix, no further interpretation is offered. The camera uses a 1-inch IMX183 rolling-shutter CMOS with 2.4 μm × 2.4 μm pixels to deliver 5472 × 3648 color frames in Bayer GB 8 at 19.2 fps over USB3.0. It belongs to the USB3.0 area scan group of the CS series and carries 41.5 dB SNR, 65.5 dB dynamic range, 0 to 24 dB gain and an exposure range of 44 μs to 0.83 s.
Its official feature list cites the new low-power design together with high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and low noise, and the numbers follow: a typical 2.3 W at 5 VDC when bus-powered over USB3.0 (USB2.0 compatible), or 9 to 24 VDC from an external input. Formats available on the link are Bayer GB 8/10/10Packed/12/12Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, YUV 422 Packed, RGB 8, BGR 8 and Mono 8/10/12. Line 0 (opto-isolated input), Line 1 (opto-isolated output) and Line 2 (bi-directional) sit on the 6-pin P7 connector, the IP40 C-Mount body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm at about 80 g with four-side mounting, and USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance is listed.

- Provides high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and low noise.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam Standard, and the third-party software based on the protocol and standard.
Where it is used
Having FCC on the certification list can be decisive when choosing a color camera for machines and instruments whose project documentation calls for that mark. 20 MP color at 19.2 fps serves tasks such as color and registration verification on wide printed surfaces, checks of color-coded components and connectors on electronic modules, and color consistency and surface-defect inspection of injection-molded plastic parts. PC-adjacent benchtop setups and compact test instruments need no extra power supply thanks to USB power.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
