HIKROBOT MV-CS120-10UM — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX226, USB3.0, Mono, 29.4 fps
The MV-CS120-10UM reads the same Sony IMX226 sensor over USB 3.0 and reaches 29.4 fps at 4024 × 3036, markedly faster than the GigE sibling. This monochrome model’s 1/1.7-inch, 1.85 μm rolling-shutter CMOS sensor delivers 40.5 dB SNR and 70.5 dB dynamic range, while 0–24 dB gain and an exposure span from 12 μs to 1 second cover both bright and dim scenes. It is the USB3 option that brings 12 MP to benchtop and short-range setups in the CS series small and medium resolution family.
USB 3.0 carries data and power on one cable, and the typical 1.4 W draw at 5 VDC means no separate supply is needed; USB 2.0 compatibility exists, but full frame rate assumes a USB 3.0 link. The 6-pin P7 connector offers 9–24 VDC external power plus an opto-isolated input (Line 0), an opto-isolated output (Line 1) and the bi-directional Line 2. The 29 × 29 × 30 mm, roughly 80 g housing has mounting holes on four sides; the camera follows USB3 Vision and GenICam, and gain, exposure, white balance, LUT and Gamma can be set automatically or manually.

Where it is used
Fast USB3 readout matters where 29 frames per second at 12 MP pays off: post-placement AOI on electronics, display and panel surface checks and microscope-based imaging stations. Exposure up to 1 second also opens the door to low-light scientific and laboratory imaging. USB is a practical choice for single-camera cells where the camera plugs straight into an industrial PC.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
