Imaging role and range context
Square monochrome USB capture at 26.2 MP defines MV-CH250-60UM. Its Stacked BSI rolling-shutter CMOS sensor produces 5120 × 5120 Mono 8 at 14.8 fps from a 12.6 mm × 12.6 mm area with 2.44 µm pixels. This compact C-mount camera is positioned for fine intensity inspection at a local USB host when the subject can be stationary during frame readout.
Grid geometry, edge contrast and surface texture can be evaluated with equal pixel coverage in both axes. The exposure range of 58 µs to 10 sec allows settings for illuminated inspection or longer stationary captures. USB supplies both data and power, with typical consumption of 5.5 W at 5 V DC, while an external 9 V DC to 24 V DC input is available. A 6-pin P7 connector adds isolated trigger input and output plus bidirectional I/O.
MV-CH250-60UC is the direct color partner, matching the sensor, 5120 × 5120 resolution, 14.8 fps USB interface and 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm body while outputting Bayer BG 8. MV-CH250-60GC provides that color sensor over Gigabit Ethernet at 4.7 fps with PoE. MV-CH160-60GM is a lower-resolution 4000 × 4000 monochrome GigE camera with a global shutter at 7.25 fps. Choose 60UM for compact USB monochrome detail, 60UC for color, or CH160 when GigE and global exposure matter.

Selection and applications
Square-area monochrome detail inspection. Stationary surface and edge measurement. USB-powered 5120 × 5120 acquisition.
Minimum setup: MV-CH250-60UM, a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable, and USB power or a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH250-60UC — Prefer it for Bayer BG 8 color with the same USB rate and image size; MV-CH250-60GC — Prefer it for the related Stacked BSI color sensor on GigE with PoE; MV-CH160-60GM — Prefer it for 4000 × 4000 monochrome GigE with a global shutter.

FAQ
What monochrome image rate is available from MV-CH250-60UM?
The camera outputs 5120 × 5120 Mono 8 at up to 14.8 fps. Its square Stacked BSI sensor measures 12.6 mm × 12.6 mm, uses 2.44 µm pixels and has a rolling shutter.
Can MV-CH250-60UM be powered solely through USB 3.0?
Yes. USB power is supported and typical consumption is 5.5 W at 5 V DC when the USB 3.0 connection provides it. The camera also accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC, and its data interface can operate with USB 2.0.
How should parts move during MV-CH250-60UM acquisition?
The camera uses a rolling shutter, so the subject should be stationary during readout or settled before the trigger when geometric fidelity is required. Exposure can be adjusted from 58 µs to 10 sec for the available illumination.
What lens mount and pixel pitch apply to the 60UM?
The optical interface is C-mount. Behind it is a 12.6 mm × 12.6 mm sensor with 2.44 µm × 2.44 µm pixels, so lens coverage must include the square image and its detail over 5120 × 5120.
Which I/O and enclosure protections are provided on MV-CH250-60UM?
The 6-pin P7 port has one isolated input, one isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line. IP40 applies with correct lens installation and wiring. The operating range is –10 °C to 50 °C.
