HIKROBOT MV-CU020-19GC V3 — Area Scan Cameras
2 MP, 1/2.8-inch CMOS, GigE, Color, 56 fps

The color MV-CU020-19GC V3 reads its 1/2.8-inch rolling-shutter CMOS sensor at 1920 × 1080 and 56 fps over Gigabit Ethernet. Within the cost-effective CU series it offers an unusually wide 0–30 dB gain range and a 128 μs to 260 ms exposure window, while 45.6 dB SNR and a 74 dB dynamic range (90 dB with WDR) cope with difficult lighting. Output is available as YUV422Packed in addition to Mono 8.
Power comes from 9–24 VDC or over PoE, typical consumption is 2.3 W at 12 VDC, and the GigE run can stretch to 100 meters without a repeater. Hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run modes are controlled via the 6-pin P7 connector’s opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2). The roughly 100 g, 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount body is open to standards-based third-party software through GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam, and an interference-resistant customized filter is offered as an option.

Where it is used
The wide gain range and WDR allow color imaging in dim or uneven lighting, which fits vehicle and pallet color/label checks at loading bays or load identification on in-plant transport vehicles. 1080p color output gives enough detail for routing products by color and for general line monitoring. It is a cost-effective color option for steady-speed applications that do not demand very high frame rates.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
