Tasks and place in the range
Near-infrared response is the defining selection point for MV-CH250-90GN V4.0. The 1.1-inch Gpixel GMAX0505 CMOS sensor combines a 5120 × 5120 array, 2.5 µm pixels, and global exposure. It transfers full frames at 4.5 fps through Gigabit Ethernet and retains Fast Ethernet operation, making it a high-pixel-count NIR camera for measured or indexed acquisition.
NIR response supports contrast studies where the illumination and material response fall outside ordinary color capture. The square 26.2 MP frame can cover flat parts, wafers, or registration patterns with equal pixel count along both axes. A 12 μs to 10 sec exposure interval spans short triggered imaging and longer integration, while PoE reduces the camera connection to the network cable when that powering method is used.
MV-CH250-90GM V4.0 is the closest GigE neighbour: it retains 4.5 fps and C-mount but is specified as Mono, accepts 9–24 V DC, and carries IP40. MV-CH250-90UN V4.0 moves 5120 × 5120 Mono 8 frames at 14 fps over USB 3.0. MV-CH250-90YN-C-NN V2.0 is the NIR option for 150 fps through a DIN CoaXPress interface and a larger passive body.

Selection and applications
Near-infrared material contrast imaging. Square-frame NIR inspection. Triggered capture of indexed parts.
Minimum kit: A working setup needs the camera, a C-mount lens covering the 1.1-inch sensor, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and either PoE or a 12 V DC source.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH250-90GM V4.0 — Prefer it for standard monochrome GigE output with IP40 and the same 4.5 fps rate; MV-CH250-90YN-C-NN V2.0 — Prefer it when NIR output is required at 150 fps over DIN CoaXPress; MV-CH250-90UN V4.0 — Prefer it for 14 fps Mono 8 transfer through USB 3.0.

FAQ
Why select the NIR variant MV-CH250-90GN V4.0 for inspection?
This variant is explicitly specified for near-infrared imaging rather than color output. It retains the Gpixel GMAX0505, 5120 × 5120 resolution, 2.5 µm pixels, and 4.5 fps full-frame rate, so the change in spectral response is the central reason to select it.
Does MV-CH250-90GN V4.0 use simultaneous exposure?
Yes. Its CMOS sensor uses a global shutter. That exposure method is appropriate when the 26.2 MP frame must preserve the shape of an indexed or briefly moving object. Available exposure times extend from 12 μs to 10 sec.
What network and power arrangement does the NIR camera support?
Image data travels over Gigabit Ethernet, with Fast Ethernet operation also listed. The camera accepts 12 V DC and supports PoE, so power may share the Ethernet run. Typical consumption is 3.1 W at 12 V DC.
Which lens mount and sensor format are used on MV-CH250-90GN V4.0?
A C-mount is fitted in front of the 1.1-inch sensor. The selected lens needs an image circle that covers this sensor format and sufficient resolution for the 2.5 µm pitch; focal length then follows the required object coverage and working distance.
How is the NIR version protected and temperature-rated?
With the lens and wiring correctly installed, the enclosure is rated IP40. The specified working range is 0 °C to 50 °C and the non-condensing humidity range is 20% to 95% RH. Its 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm body weighs about 100 g.
