HIKROBOT MV-CS050-80GM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, SS CMOS, GigE, Mono, 24 fps

The MV-CS050-80GM represents the 5 MP monochrome class among the CS series GigE area scan cameras, using a 2/3-inch global shutter SS CMOS sensor with 3.45 μm pixels to deliver 24 fps at 2448 × 2048 in Mono 8. With 41.9 dB SNR, 61.6 dB dynamic range, 0–12 dB gain and a 25 μs–10 s exposure range, it produces clean images under typical industrial lighting. What distinguishes it within the family is on the energy side: a typical 1.3 W at 12 VDC, combined with PoE support, means a single Ethernet cable can carry both data and power.
The Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) interface is also compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and, according to HIKROBOT, reaches up to 100 meters without a relay, a clear advantage over USB in plant installations where the camera sits far from the control cabinet. When PoE is not used, 9–24 VDC is supplied through the 6-pin P7 connector, which also carries the opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional Line 2. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm C-mount body weighs about 102 g and has mounting holes on four sides, and GigE Vision V2.0 plus GenICam compliance opens the door to third-party software.

Where it is used
Five megapixels at 24 frames per second is tailor-made for stations where field of view and detail matter more than speed: reading 1D/2D codes and text on packaging, checking cut quality on sheet metal parts, or counting parts in a tray. The cable reach and PoE supply fit warehouse and logistics installations where the camera sits on the machine or ceiling and the computer is in a separate room. A monochrome sensor gives more direct results than the color version in backlit dimensional measurement and contour checks.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
