HIKROBOT MV-CH120-10GM(EoL) — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, GigE, Mono, 9.4 fps
The MV-CH120-10GM(EoL) is the earlier-generation monochrome camera in the CH family’s 12 MP GigE line; HIKROBOT lists it as in delisting preparation. Its 1.1-inch Sony® IMX304 global-shutter sensor delivers 4096 × 3000 at 9.4 fps with 40.2 dB SNR and 72.2 dB dynamic range. Alongside the standard 15 μs–10 s exposure it offers an UltraShort exposure mode of 2–14 μs.
Gigabit Ethernet reaches 100 meters without a relay and stays backward compatible with Fast Ethernet; up to 128 MB of local memory buffers burst transmission and retransmission. Power comes from 12 VDC or PoE, with a typical draw of 4.3 W. The 6-pin Hirose connector carries power together with one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bi-directional line; hardware and software triggering are supported, and the 140 g IP30 C-mount body works with GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam software.

Where it is used
High-dynamic-range 12 MP monochrome imaging pays off in scenes that combine bright and dark regions in one frame: measurement of machined metal parts, defect search in glass and transparent material, alignment checks on large panels. The UltraShort exposure mode can be used to reduce motion blur on fast-passing objects. It may be chosen to back up existing installations or to keep consistency in ongoing projects.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
