PRO version: what you get
This camera comes in three versions on the same sensor — they differ in protection, connectors and integrated optics:
- 8-pin M12 X-Code waterproof aviation connector
- IP67 (under proper lens and lens cap installation and wiring)
- precision temperature control design for fast heat balance

Fast monochrome network imaging
The highest listed rate in the GigE mono branch belongs to MV-CT1MG0004/G. Its 1/2.9 in Stacked BSI CMOS sensor uses 6.9 × 6.9 µm pixels, a global shutter and 720 × 540 px output, reaching 200.5 fps in Mono 8. Gigabit Ethernet connects through an 8-pin M12 X-Code interface, with PoE available for combined network and power wiring.
The modest frame size and high rate suit rapid presence, position and coarse edge decisions on moving parts. A 23 µs minimum exposure and Trigger Width or Trigger Controlled operation coordinate capture with short machine cycles. Binning and decimation are not supported, so the full sensor sampling is the operating point; IP67 protection applies with the lens, lens cap and wiring installed correctly.
MV-CT1MG0016/G raises monochrome resolution to 1440 × 1080 px and operates at 180 fps with lossless compression. MV-CT1CG0004/G matches 720 × 540 px and 200.5 fps while adding color output. Choose MV-CT1MG0004/G when intensity data, maximum networked frame rate and PoE are required; choose the color counterpart when the inspection depends on chromatic differences.

FAQ
Which C-mount lenses are listed for MV-CT1MG0004/G?
MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are suggested. Both cover the 1/2.9 in sensor format, and their 12 MP and 25 MP nominal classes are above the 720 × 540 px camera image. Either therefore meets the documented optical-format and resolution-class relationship.
How do network data and power reach MV-CT1MG0004/G?
The 8-pin M12 X-Code port carries Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s and supports PoE; operation with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet is also listed. Typical draw is 1.7 W at 12 V DC. A separate 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply can use the 8-pin M8 A-Code power and I/O connector.
What enables MV-CT1MG0004/G to inspect rapid motion?
The camera combines a global shutter with 200.5 fps at 720 × 540 px in Mono 8. Exposure can begin at 23 µs, and machine timing is supported by Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes. This combination targets short-cycle inspection where coarse monochrome detail is sufficient.
Does MV-CT1MG0004/G support binning or decimation?
No; both binning and decimation are listed as unsupported. The available pixel formats are Mono 8, 10, 10Packed, 12 and 12Packed, and the image can be reversed horizontally or vertically. Processing and transfer should therefore be planned around the 720 × 540 px sensor sampling.
What environmental conditions suit MV-CT1MG0004/G?
IP67 protection applies under proper lens, lens cap and wiring installation. The body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm, weighs approximately 124 g and works from –30 °C to 60 °C. Permitted humidity is 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation.
