HIKROBOT MV-CS120-10GM V5 — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX226, GigE, Mono, 10 fps

The MV-CS120-10GM V5 is the GigE monochrome entry in the 12 MP class of the CS series small and medium resolution family. Its 1/1.7-inch Sony IMX226 CMOS sensor delivers 4024 × 3036 pixels at a 1.85 μm pitch with rolling-shutter readout. A 42.3 dB SNR and 69.4 dB dynamic range pair with 10 fps at full resolution, aimed at measurement tasks that depend on fine grey-level separation.
Gigabit Ethernet carries image data up to 100 metres without a relay, and the port remains compatible with Fast Ethernet networks. The 6-pin P7 connector combines 9–24 VDC power with one opto-isolated input (Line 0), one opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2); PoE support reduces the installation to a single cable. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm body weighs about 100 g, accepts C-mount lenses and follows GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam, so third-party software built on those standards can drive it directly.

Where it is used
Twelve megapixels let the camera cover a wide field of view without losing small features, which suits dimensional measurement, PCB assembly verification and pin or solder-joint inspection. Because the sensor reads out with a rolling shutter, it performs best on indexed stop-and-go stations and on stationary parts. The –30 °C to 60 °C working range adds headroom for lines where the camera enclosure is not climate-controlled.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
