HIKROBOT MV-CA003-20GC — Area Scan Cameras
0.3 MP, PYTHON300, GigE, Color, 336 fps
The MV-CA003-20GC is the GigE, 0.3-megapixel color model in the CA series, built around the PYTHON300 global-shutter sensor at 672×512 resolution. It reaches up to 336 fps at that resolution, with a 39.9 dB SNR and 59 dB dynamic range. HIKROBOT lists this model under Delisting Preparation; it remains an option while stock is available.
The Gigabit Ethernet interface supports cable runs of up to 100 m without a relay, and the 6-pin Hirose connector carries PoE power together with one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, and one bi-directional I/O line. Hardware and software triggering, auto exposure, LUT and Gamma correction are supported, and up to 128 MB of onboard memory buffers burst transmission and retransmission. Compliance with GigE Vision V1.2 and GenICam lets it work with the MVS client and other compatible third-party software.

Where it is used
The color imaging and GigE’s 100 m cable reach suit color/print inspection and product sorting where the camera must sit some distance from the control cabinet. Up to 336 fps at 672×512 also supports color-based quality checks on faster lines. It fits label and packaging lines where color consistency needs monitoring.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
