HIKROBOT MV-CU120-10GC V2 — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX226, GigE, Color, 9.7 fps
The MV-CU120-10GC V2 is the 12 MP color GigE member of the CU series, using the Sony® IMX226 behind a Bayer RG filter. The 1.85 μm pixel pitch and 1/1.7″ format yield 4024 × 3036 resolution at 9.7 fps, while 40.5 dB SNR and a 70.5 dB dynamic range keep noise low across the color channels. This variant’s data sheet explicitly states a 1000 Mbit/s link speed and a storage temperature ceiling of 80 °C; the rolling-shutter sensor means it is designed for still scenes.
Installation needs only the single P7 connector: 9–24 VDC power or optional PoE, the opto-isolated trigger input (Line 0), the opto-isolated output (Line 1) and the bi-directional non-isolated Line 2 all share one cable harness. Because the Ethernet run can reach 100 meters without a repeater, the camera and PC may sit in different areas, and Fast Ethernet compatibility keeps the link alive where the network is limited to 100 Mbit/s. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm, roughly 100 g C-mount camera draws a typical 1.82 W at 12 VDC; GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance allows use with standards-based third-party software.

Where it is used
Consider it where color and fine detail are needed at once: reading component colors and polarity marks on electronic boards, spotting shade deviations on ceramic and tile surfaces, or grading agricultural produce by ripeness and blemish. Imaging should take place while the product is stopped or creeping along; the rolling-shutter sensor smears frames at fast transit speeds. The 12-bit Bayer format gives extra headroom to software that evaluates subtle tonal differences.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
