HIKROBOT MV-CH120-60GM V5 — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Stacked BSI, GigE, Mono, 10 fps

The MV-CH120-60GM V5 is the 12 MP monochrome V5 release in the CH series GigE line, using a 1.1-inch Stacked BSI global shutter CMOS sensor with 4096 × 3000 output. Imaging figures stay at 10 fps in Mono 8, 3.45 μm pixels, 44.1 dB SNR and 67.2 dB dynamic range, while typical power drops to 1.7 W at 12 VDC and the storage temperature ceiling is 80 °C. Gain runs 0–12 dB and exposure 10 μs–10 s, giving a balanced profile for a high-resolution Ethernet camera.
On multi-camera lines the 1.7 W draw and PoE support matter together: each camera runs from a single Ethernet cable and the PoE switch budget is stretched less. The link is Gigabit Ethernet with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) compatibility; the 6-pin P7 connector accepts 9–24 VDC external power and provides the opto-isolated input and output plus a bi-directional non-isolated line. Sequencer and LSC let exposure and gain sets change frame by frame; the 29 × 29 × 42 mm, 100 g C-mount body mounts from four sides, and GigE Vision V2.0 with GenICam compliance brings third-party software support.

Where it is used
Verifying screws, clips and gaskets across a whole part in one frame at automotive sub-assembly cells is a task that matches this camera’s 12 MP field and moderate frame rate. Crack and grain analysis over broad surfaces in wood and stone slab grading, or label reading on palletised goods, benefit from an Ethernet-based installation. Sequencer support eases multi-task stations that take consecutive frames under different lighting on the same part.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
