HIKROBOT MV-CU120-10GM — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX226, GigE, Mono, 9.7 fps

The MV-CU120-10GM is the 12 MP monochrome option in the CU GigE line-up, listed with PoE in its product name. A 1/1.7″ Sony® IMX226 CMOS sensor with a 1.85 μm × 1.85 μm pixel pitch delivers 4024 × 3036 resolution; at 9.7 fps in Mono 8 it combines 40.5 dB SNR with a 70.5 dB dynamic range, the strongest signal-quality figures in this group. The sensor is a rolling-shutter type, so frames should be captured while the scene is stationary or moving very slowly.
Hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run modes are all supported; the trigger arrives on the opto-isolated input (Line 0) of the 6-pin P7 connector, the opto-isolated output (Line 1) can drive a light or PLC, and Line 2 is a configurable bi-directional non-isolated I/O. Gigabit Ethernet reaches 100 meters without a repeater and remains compatible with Fast Ethernet; power is 9–24 VDC or optional PoE, with a typical draw of 1.78 W at 12 VDC. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm C-mount housing, together with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance, drops straight into existing vision software.

Where it is used
Its 12 MP monochrome resolution and 40.5 dB SNR shine in detail-hungry tasks such as PCB and electronics assembly inspection, fine surface-defect detection and precise dimensional measurement. The pairing of 9.7 fps with a rolling shutter points to quality-control stations where the part halts in front of the camera, or to wide-field static scenes, rather than high-speed flow. The 100 m Ethernet reach with optional PoE is a bonus in plants where the camera is fed from a distant control cabinet over a single cable.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
