HIKROBOT MV-CH120-10UM — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, USB3.0, Mono, 30.5 fps
The MV-CH120-10UM brings the CH series’ 12 MP class to USB 3.0 in a monochrome, V4-generation package. Its 1.1″ Sony® IMX304 global shutter CMOS sensor with 3.45 μm pixels streams 4096 × 3000 Mono 8 frames at up to 30.5 fps, more than three times what the same sensor achieves on the series’ Gigabit Ethernet models. With 40.2 dB SNR and 70.4 dB dynamic range it delivers stable grey levels for measurement and surface inspection.
The camera can run entirely on USB 3.0 bus power (typ. 2.9 W at 5 VDC) or from a 9–24 VDC external supply, and remains compatible with USB 2.0 hosts. Hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run modes are supported; the 6-pin P7 connector carries an opto-isolated input, an opto-isolated output and a bi-directional non-isolated line. At 29 × 29 × 30 mm and roughly 80 g, the C-mount housing with four-sided mounting holes fits into benchtop and in-machine setups, and USB3 Vision / GenICam compliance keeps it open to third-party software.

Where it is used
Twelve megapixels at 30.5 fps in mono is a good fit for precise dimensional measurement of moving parts, solder and trace inspection on PCBs, and high-resolution OCR or DataMatrix reading. Bus power keeps single-cable benchtop systems and robot-mounted cameras simple, and the compact 30 mm depth helps where space around the optics is tight. Because the host PC sits close to the camera in USB setups, it is well suited to cell-based inspection stations.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
