HIKROBOT MV-CI003-GL-N15 — Area Scan Cameras
0.3 MP, 640×512, EFL 15 mm, GigE, Uncooled Vanadium Oxide Detector

The MV-CI003-GL-N15 pairs the same 640×512 uncooled vanadium oxide detector with a 15 mm effective focal length, forming the mid-range member of the CI family. Compared with the 6.3 mm wide-angle model it narrows the field of view to resolve more detail at moderate distance, while still covering more area than the 35 mm long-range variant. It outputs Mono 8/12/14 and YUV422 at up to 50 fps.
Like its N-series siblings, it keeps GigE Vision V2.0/GenICam compatibility, the 6-pin P7 power+I/O connector, and PoE-capable 9-24 VDC power, with up to 100 m of cable run without a repeater. At 102.5 mm the housing is shorter than the N6’s, while sharing the same 58×58 mm cross-section, M34×0.75 lens mount, and 4-side panel mounting holes.

Where it is used
The mid-range field of view offers a balanced fit for monitoring motor and machine housings from a few meters away, targeted inspection of mid-size electrical distribution boards, and spot-level thermal observation of process equipment.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
