MAX 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)
- 8-pin M12 A-Code waterproof aviation connector
- Ready for lens and light integration: control is on board, while the lens and the light are ordered separately (/16LC/WN versions ship with them)

Dense colour sampling in context
Small 2 µm pixels and a 4096 × 3024 image give MV-CT2CG0120/R dense colour sampling from a 1/1.56-inch sensor. The 12 MP Stacked BSI CMOS device uses a rolling shutter and reaches 18.4 fps in Bayer BG 8 with lossless compression enabled. C-mount optics and Gigabit Ethernet complete the imaging path in a 42 mm CT2 enclosure.
The camera suits stationary colour surface checks, indexed assembly verification and dense marking inspection where the part can pause. Exposure covers 26 µs to 10 sec, while 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 binning or decimation provide lower-resolution operating choices. PoE may share the network cable, and IP67 applies after correct lens, cap and wiring installation.
MV-CT2CG0120/G changes to a global shutter, 3.45 µm pixels and a 1.1-inch sensor, delivering 4096 × 3000 at 23.9 fps. MV-CT2CG0200/R retains rolling exposure but increases resolution to 5472 × 3648 and rate to 22.3 fps on a 1-inch Sony IMX183. MV-CT1MG0120/R matches 4096 × 3024 and 18.4 fps in monochrome within a smaller 29 mm body.

FAQ
Which lenses are listed for the 1/1.56-inch rolling-shutter camera?
MVL-KF3524M-25MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are listed. Both are C-mount lenses with 19.3 mm image circles covering the 1/1.56-inch sensor, and both exceed the approximately 12.4 MP, 4096 × 3024 resolution class.
How are power and discrete signals wired on MV-CT2CG0120/R?
The camera accepts PoE or 9–24 V DC and typically uses 1.5 W at 24 V DC under the stated conditions. Its M8 A-Code connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O.
What interface conditions support 18.4 fps at 4096 × 3024?
The maximum uses Bayer BG 8 with lossless compression enabled over 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet. Data is connected through an 8-pin M12 X-Code port, and the camera can also communicate through a 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet link.
Is external Trigger Width exposure available on this rolling model?
Its exposure controls are Off, Once and Continuous, with a 26 µs to 10 sec range. For an externally timed global exposure, MV-CT2CG0120/G supplies Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled functions and captures 4096 × 3000 at 23.9 fps.
What onboard controls can alter the 12 MP colour output?
Binning and decimation both support 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4. Horizontal and vertical reverse output is available, while the pixel formats include Bayer BG through 12Packed, YUV422 variants, RGB 8, BGR 8 and Mono 8.
