HIKROBOT MV-CU050-30GM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, AR0521, GigE, Mono, 24 fps
The MV-CU050-30GM is the GigE monochrome model in the CU series’ 5 MP class that uses the rolling-shutter AR0521 sensor. The 1/2.5″ sensor with 2.2 μm pixels delivers 2592 × 1944 at up to 24 fps in Mono 8, with 37 dB SNR, 63 dB dynamic range and 0 dB to 15 dB gain. Its low-power design stands out, drawing a typical 1.78 W at 12 VDC, and exposure spans 21 μs to 1 sec.
The 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet link is backward-compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet and can run up to 100 meters without a repeater. Power comes from 9 VDC to 24 VDC or directly over PoE, which lets one Ethernet cable carry both data and supply. Hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run modes work through the opto-isolated input and output and the bi-directional line on the 6-pin P7 connector; the 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount body weighs about 100 g and complies with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
The rolling shutter points this camera toward scenes where the object is stationary or moving slowly: presence/absence checks on parts held at a station, locating items in trays, and surface-appearance inspection. Its 2592 × 1944 resolution is enough to read label text and codes over medium-sized fields of view. PoE support and the 100 m reach simplify wiring when many cameras are spread across a large facility for multi-point monitoring.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
