Higher-resolution network inspection
A 2448 × 2048 global-shutter image from the Sony IMX264 CMOS sensor places MV-CA050-12GC in the 5 MP Gigabit Ethernet class. The 2/3-inch sensor captures up to 24.1 fps, and the network interface also operates with Fast Ethernet. A C-mount optical connection is housed in a 29 × 29 × 42 mm body weighing 88 g.
The global shutter supports synchronized images of moving components, while the 2448 × 2048 raster provides more sampling points across an inspected object than the lower-resolution neighbours. This combination suits presence, geometry and surface-detail checks where spatial sampling takes priority over acquisition rate. PoE can carry power on the network cable, or the camera can use 9 V DC to 24 V DC.
MV-CA032-10GC records color output at 2048 × 1536 and 37.5 fps, trading some resolution for a higher rate and UltraShort exposure down to 1 µs. MV-CA023-10GC reaches 41 fps at 1920 × 1200 with 5.86 µm pixels. MV-CA020-10GC V3.0 reaches 60 fps at 1624 × 1240; choose a lower-resolution neighbour when acquisition speed has priority, and select MV-CA050-12GC when the 2448 × 2048 sampling takes priority.

FAQ
What resolution and maximum frame rate does MV-CA050-12GC offer?
The camera acquires 2448 × 2048 images at up to 24.1 fps through Gigabit Ethernet. It uses a Sony IMX264 CMOS sensor with a global shutter and a 2/3-inch optical format.
How is the camera connected and what supply range does it accept?
Image transfer uses Gigabit Ethernet, with Fast Ethernet operation also stated. The camera supports PoE or a separate supply from 9 V DC to 24 V DC, and typical consumption is 3.2 W at 12 V DC.
Which lens interface and housing dimensions affect integration?
MV-CA050-12GC uses a C-mount lens interface around its 2/3-inch sensor. The housing measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm and weighs 88 g, providing the mechanical values needed for bracket and payload planning.
What operating environment is stated for MV-CA050-12GC?
The camera is rated IP30 and operates from 0 °C to 50 °C. Its stated humidity range is 20% RH to 80% RH, so installation planning should account for those enclosure and ambient limits.
How does this model trade acquisition speed against its neighbours?
MV-CA050-12GC provides 2448 × 2048 at 24.1 fps. MV-CA032-10GC provides 2048 × 1536 at 37.5 fps, while MV-CA023-10GC provides 1920 × 1200 at 41 fps; both exchange resolution for a higher rate.
