Hikrobot MV-CS004-10UM

Speed-focused applications and neighbours

Frame rate is the defining characteristic of MV-CS004-10UM. Its Sony IMX287 CMOS sensor combines a global shutter, 720 × 540 resolution and acquisition up to 526.5 fps over USB3.0. The 1/2.9-inch format and C-mount keep the optical assembly compact, while USB2.0 interoperability provides a fallback connection for host integration.

The high acquisition rate and global exposure suit observation of rapidly moving parts, repeated position checks and timing analysis where a modest pixel count is sufficient. A 29 × 29 × 30 mm body weighing 80 g fits space-constrained stations. The IP40 enclosure belongs inside a protected machine area, and the P7 connection provides an isolated input, an isolated output and a bidirectional I/O line.

Within this group, MV-CE013-80UM increases resolution to 1280 × 1024 but runs at 148 fps, while MV-CA016-10UC reaches 1440 × 1080 at 249.1 fps. MV-CS050-10UM moves further toward detail with 2448 × 2048 at 60 fps. Select MV-CS004-10UM when 526.5 fps outweighs spatial detail; move to either neighbour as the inspection requires more pixels per frame.

Selection and applications

High-rate motion sequence capture. Rapid part-position checks. Machine-cycle timing observation.

Minimum kit: The minimum kit is MV-CS004-10UM, a C-mount lens, a USB3.0 cable, and either USB3.0 port power or a 9–24 V DC supply.

Nearby in the range: MV-CE013-80UM — Prefer it for 1280 × 1024 capture at up to 148 fps over USB3.0; MV-CA016-10UC — Prefer it for 1440 × 1080 capture at up to 249.1 fps over USB3.0; MV-CS050-10UM — Prefer it when 2448 × 2048 detail is needed at up to 60 fps.

FAQ

What imaging trade-off defines MV-CS004-10UM at full resolution?

The camera records 720 × 540 frames at up to 526.5 fps. This pairing favours temporal sampling over fine spatial detail, making it suited to fast event observation, repeated position checks and motion timing within the available pixel grid.

How does the shutter support capture of rapidly moving subjects?

The Sony IMX287 is a CMOS sensor with a global shutter, so the frame is exposed simultaneously rather than line by line. Combined with the 526.5 fps maximum rate, this supports shape and position analysis on fast-moving parts.

Which power and data connections are available for this camera?

Image data uses USB3.0, with USB2.0 interoperability. The camera can receive power from USB3.0 or from a 9–24 V DC source. The separate 6-pin P7 connector carries the isolated and bidirectional digital I/O lines.

What lens format should be matched to the IMX287 sensor?

Use a C-mount lens with an image circle suitable for the 1/2.9-inch sensor. The optical choice should also resolve the 720 × 540 sampling grid across the required field of view and working distance.

What mechanical and enclosure limits affect installation?

The housing measures 29 × 29 × 30 mm, weighs 80 g and carries an IP40 rating. It can be placed in a compact protected station, but the enclosure rating does not justify direct exposure to process liquids or heavy dust.
