HIKROBOT MV-CU004-10GM V2 — Area Scan Cameras
0.4 MP, Sony IMX297, GigE, Mono, 126.5 fps
Sharing its imaging core with the rest of the 0.4 MP CU line, the MV-CU004-10GM V2 pairs the Sony® IMX297 global-shutter CMOS (1/2.9″, 6.9 μm × 6.9 μm pixels) with a 720 × 540 monochrome output running up to 126.5 fps in Mono 8. Signal quality is unchanged from its sibling — 41 dB SNR, 74 dB dynamic range and 0–24 dB gain — while the datasheet widens the storage temperature window to –30 °C to 80 °C. Exposure spans an Ultrashort 1–14 μs mode and a standard 15 μs to 10 s range.
The interface is specified as Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s with fallback to 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet, keeping the familiar 100 m cable reach without a relay. Power (9–24 VDC, PoE optional) and I/O share the 6-pin P7 connector — Line 0 opto-isolated input, Line 1 opto-isolated output, Line 2 bi-directional non-isolated — and the camera can be driven in hardware-trigger, software-trigger or free-run mode. At 29 × 29 × 42 mm, approx. 100 g and a typical 2 W at 12 VDC it fits wherever the original does, and GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam compliance means the same software stack applies.

Where it is used
The large 6.9 μm pixel and exposure down to 1 μs make this model a fit for fast scenes where light is limited or strobe-synchronized: verifying part orientation in a feeder, watching gaps on a conveyor, tracking the position of a web edge. A 720 × 540 frame is ideal for capturing a single event at high rate rather than surveying a wide area, so counting, trigger timing and simple alignment checks are where it earns its place.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
