HIKROBOT MV-CA050-12UC — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Sony IMX264, USB3.0, Color, 60 fps
The MV-CA050-12UC is the fastest 5 MP model in the family: the same IMX264 sensor with color output reaches 60 fps — nearly two and a half times GC’s rate and above UM’s as well. The UltraShort/Standard dual exposure modes carry over here too. This model is on HIKROBOT’s Delisting Preparation list.
It draws typ. 3.3 W @5 VDC from the USB3.0 bus — the highest USB3.0 power draw among these ten models — with 9–24 VDC external power also supported. I/O runs through the same 6-pin P7 connector as UM. A broad pixel-format set including Bayer RG 8/10/12, YUV422 and RGB/BGR 8 comes alongside hardware triggering, software triggering and free-run mode. It complies with USB3 Vision/GenICam in a 29×29×30 mm, 80 g body.

Where it is used
For work that needs both high resolution and 60 fps speed — color label/print inspection on fast packaging lines, or high-resolution color sorting — this is the most capable option in the family. Its 5 MP detail lets fine color differences be captured without sacrificing speed.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
