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

Networked mono inspection context
A 1624 × 1240 px monochrome frame at 177.3 fps gives MV-CT1MG0020/G a balanced high-speed GigE role. Its 1/2.53 in Stacked BSI CMOS sensor has 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter. The stated Mono 8 rate uses lossless compression, while the 8-pin M12 X-Code interface carries Gigabit Ethernet and supports PoE.
This combination is suited to moving-component alignment, presence decisions and edge measurement where 2 MP sampling is needed without a large rate penalty. The exposure interval begins at 23 µs, and Trigger Width or Trigger Controlled modes align frames with equipment. IP67 protection applies after correct lens, lens cap and wiring installation, and binning or decimation can reduce sampling by 2 × 2 or 4 × 4.
MV-CT1MG0016/G records 1440 × 1080 px at 180 fps, making it slightly faster with less detail. MV-CT1MG0032/G advances to 2048 × 1536 px but lowers full-frame speed to 77.5 fps. MV-CT1CG0020/G matches 1624 × 1240 px and 177.3 fps in color. Choose MV-CT1MG0020/G when monochrome contrast is sufficient and the 2 MP, near-180 fps point matches the process.

FAQ
Which lenses cover the MV-CT1MG0020/G optical format?
MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are the listed C-mount options. Both cover the 1/2.53 in sensor area. Their 12 MP and 25 MP nominal classes exceed the camera's 1624 × 1240 px output, so both pass the documented format and resolution relationship.
What power and Ethernet options does MV-CT1MG0020/G provide?
The M12 X-Code interface carries Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s and supports PoE, while 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet remains compatible. Typical draw is 1.5 W at 12 V DC. A separate supply between 9 V DC and 24 V DC can connect through the 8-pin M8 A-Code power and I/O port.
How does MV-CT1MG0020/G acquire moving components?
The global shutter exposes the complete 1624 × 1240 px frame together. Mono 8 output reaches 177.3 fps with lossless compression enabled, and exposure starts at 23 µs. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled operation can synchronize acquisition to each component's arrival.
Can MV-CT1MG0020/G reduce image size before transmission?
Yes. Binning and decimation each provide 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 settings. Pixel formats include Mono 8, 10, 10Packed, 12 and 12Packed. The combination lets the station change spatial sampling and bit depth before images cross the Gigabit Ethernet link.
What enclosure conditions are required for MV-CT1MG0020/G?
Proper lens, lens cap and wiring installation is required for the IP67 rating. The camera works between –30 °C and 60 °C and from 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. Its 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm housing weighs approximately 124 g.
