HIKROBOT MV-CH123-10UM — Area Scan Cameras
12.3 MP, Sony IMX545, USB3.0, Mono, 31.5 fps

The MV-CH123-10UM is a 12.3 MP monochrome CH-series camera on USB 3.0, built around a 1/1.1″ Sony IMX545 global-shutter CMOS with 4096 × 3000 resolution. Despite its small 2.74 μm pixels it returns 39.4 dB SNR and 69.4 dB dynamic range, while the 0–24 dB gain range and 1–2 μs UltraShort exposure mode give flexibility in low light or with very fast motion. At 31.5 fps the emphasis is on compactness and image detail rather than speed.
The USB 3.0 link carries both data and power (typically 2.1 W at 5 VDC), is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and needs no extra supply; 9–24 VDC can optionally be fed through the 6-pin P7 connector. That same connector provides the Line 0 opto-isolated input, Line 1 opto-isolated output and Line 2 bi-directional non-isolated I/O. The 29 × 29 × 30 mm, 80 g body can be mounted on four sides; LSC, sequencer and passive transfer function are supported, and USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance enables third-party software.

Where it is used
The small body and USB power make it a natural fit for embedding in benchtop measuring instruments, laboratory microscopy setups and tightly packed test fixtures. Its 12.3 MP monochrome detail pays off in static or moderate-speed tasks such as semiconductor wafer and PCB solder-joint inspection, precision component dimensioning and reading fine print or 2D codes.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
