HIKROBOT MV-CA050-12GC — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Sony IMX264, GigE, Color, 24.1 fps
The MV-CA050-12GC carries the highest resolution in this batch of ten — 2448×2048, 5 MP — on Sony’s IMX264 sensor, with a 3.45 μm pixel and 2/3″ format, reaching 24.1 fps over GigE. It offers color output and two exposure modes: UltraShort (1–14 μs) and Normal (15 μs–10 s). This model falls under HIKROBOT’s Delisting Preparation status.
PoE is supported across a 9–24 VDC range at a typical 3.2 W. The same 6-pin Hirose I/O layout (one opto-isolated input, one output, one bi-directional line) is present, with hardware, software and free-run triggering. The GigE link reaches 100 m without a relay. It complies with GigE Vision V2.0/GenICam, mounts via C-mount in a 29×29×42 mm body, and at 88 g is the heaviest of the ten models — a consequence of its higher-resolution sensor.

Where it is used
The 5 MP resolution suits dimensional measurement, PCB/electronics inspection, and quality-control stations that need fine detail; color output adds discrimination on multi-color circuit boards or labeled products. 24.1 fps is the reasonable trade-off for that resolution — a moderate pace rather than a high-speed one.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
