Hikrobot MV-CT2MU0032/G

MAX version: what you get

This camera comes in three versions on the same sensor — they differ in protection, connectors and integrated optics:

• waterproof 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)

USB 3.0 speed and positioning

USB 3.0 transport lifts MV-CT2MU0032/G to 104.8 fps at its full 2048 × 1536 Mono 8 format. The 3.2 MP monochrome Stacked BSI CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels and a 1/1.8 in optical format. Its two operating ranges offer 5 µs to 10 sec exposure in high sensitivity and 30 µs to 10 sec in high full well capacity.

Fast assembly checks, part-position verification and triggered inspection of moving targets benefit from global exposure and the 104.8 fps ceiling. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled operation synchronize the camera with external machinery. A Type-C interface handles image data and can supply power; the camera also accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC. The 42 mm × 42 mm × 43 mm C-mount body is IP67 when assembled and wired correctly.

MV-CT2MG0032/G records the same 2048 × 1536 global-shutter image over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, but at 77.5 fps. MV-CT2MU0050/G raises the USB resolution to 2448 × 2048 while reducing the rate to 80 fps. MV-CT2MU0089/G extends to 4096 × 2160 at 42 fps. Choose MV-CT2MU0032/G when a host-side USB 3.0 connection and the highest full-frame rate among these USB models define the system.

Specifications

Selection and applications

High-rate USB component inspection. Triggered moving-part verification. Global-shutter 3.2 MP capture.

Minimum kit: MV-CT2MU0032/G, a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 Type-C cable, and USB power or a 9–24 V DC supply through the power and I/O connection.

Nearby in the range: MV-CT2MG0032/G — Choose Gigabit Ethernet and PoE for 2048 × 1536 capture at 77.5 fps.; MV-CT2MU0050/G — Choose 2448 × 2048 output when 80 fps is sufficient.; MV-CT2MU0089/G — Choose 4096 × 2160 output when 42 fps meets the cycle..

FAQ

Which lenses are suggested for the USB 3.2 MP camera?

The suggested C-mount choices are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Both image circles cover the 1/1.8 in sensor, and their 12 MP and 25 MP classes exceed the camera's 2048 × 1536 sampling. Focal length is then selected for the required field of view.

Can MV-CT2MU0032/G operate from USB power alone through Type-C?

USB power supply is supported through the Type-C interface, and the camera can alternatively accept 9 V DC to 24 V DC. Typical consumption is 1.6 W at 5 V DC when USB 3.0 provides power under the stated condition. The M8 A-Code connection remains available for power and I/O.

What host link is required for the stated 104.8 fps stream?

The maximum reference is 104.8 fps at 2048 × 1536 in Mono 8 over USB 3.0. The interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0, but that connection has a lower transport capability. Packed 10-bit and 12-bit formats are available when a different pixel representation is needed.

How do high sensitivity and high full well capacity differ?

High sensitivity allows 5 µs to 10 sec exposure and gain from 0 dB to 24 dB. High full well capacity covers 30 µs to 10 sec and gain from 0 dB to 12.8 dB. Both use the same 2048 × 1536 global-shutter sensor and support triggered exposure.

How does the USB camera compare with the 3.2 MP GigE model?

Both use a 2048 × 1536 global-shutter Stacked BSI sensor. MV-CT2MU0032/G uses USB 3.0 and reaches 104.8 fps, while MV-CT2MG0032/G uses Gigabit Ethernet with PoE and reaches 77.5 fps with lossless compression enabled. Connection topology and required rate separate them.
