HIKROBOT MV-CH120-10GM V5 — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, GigE, Mono, 9.9 fps

The MV-CH120-10GM V5 is the V5 release of the IMX304-based 12 MP GigE monochrome camera in the CH family; 9.9 fps at 4096 × 3000 Mono 8, 40 dB SNR and 70.4 dB dynamic range are identical to the V4. The differences visible on the datasheet are an UltraShort exposure floor of 1 μs, typical consumption down to 2.3 W, a 98 g weight and a storage temperature reaching 80 °C. Gain and exposure are set automatically or manually, LUT and Gamma manually; the Sony® global-shutter sensor keeps its 3.45 μm pixels and 1.1-inch format.
The Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) link is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet; PoE or a 9–24 VDC input supplies power. Mounting holes on four faces of the 29 × 29 × 42 mm body allow fixing from different directions. The 6-pin P7 connector offers one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bi-directional line; LSC, Sequencer and transfer passive mode are supported, and the IP40 C-mount body operates between –10 °C and 50 °C and integrates with GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam based software.

Where it is used
This is the version to specify for newly built 12 MP GigE mono stations: measurement and calibration benches, edge and hole-position measurement on precision parts, mark reading and surface inspection on PCBs and semiconductor packages. Exposure down to 1 μs leaves headroom for freezing moving objects with short strobes, and the low consumption with PoE eases the power budget in multi-camera setups.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
