Hikrobot MV-GE1104P

Powered GigE acquisition profile

Per-port PoE is the defining feature of MV-GE1104P, a four-input GigE frame grabber with RJ45 camera connections at 1 Gbit/s. Each channel can deliver up to 15.4 W, while a 512 MB DDR3 buffer stages the image traffic. The PCI-E gen2 × 2 host link is rated at 860 MB/s maximum and 800 MB/s sustained transfer, and the board consumes 4.7 W typical before camera-power load.

The card suits a four-view inspection cell where network data and power should reach each camera through one RJ45 run. PoE operation requires an ATX power connection in the host. Windows and 64-bit Linux support through Ubuntu 24.04 allow the same four-port architecture to be deployed in either environment, while the 0 to 60 °C working range defines the required conditions around the acquisition computer.

Compared with MV-GE1104, the P variant adds 15.4 W PoE on every channel, extends host support to Ubuntu 18.04 through 24.04, lowers typical board consumption from 10 W to 4.7 W without PoE, and changes the interconnect from PCI-E gen2 × 4 to gen2 × 2. MV-GE1004 is the higher-throughput powered option at 1600 MB/s sustained with 1 GB DDR3, but its stated PoE ceiling is 15 W per port.

Specifications

Selection and applications

Four-camera PoE acquisition. Single-cable GigE camera wiring. Linux or Windows image intake.

Minimum kit: Place MV-GE1104P in a PCI-E gen2 × 2 host, attach up to four GigE cameras with RJ45 network cables, and provide the required ATX feed for up to 15.4 W of PoE per channel.

Nearby in the range: MV-GE1104 — Prefer it for a PCI-E gen2 × 4 four-port path at 800 MB/s sustained.; MV-GE1004 — Prefer it for 1600 MB/s sustained transfer and the expanded machine-I/O set.; MV-GE2204P — Prefer it for 9.5 KB jumbo frames and 3 W consumption with four PoE ports..

FAQ

How much PoE power can MV-GE1104P deliver per camera?

Each of the four RJ45 channels can provide up to 15.4 W through PoE. An ATX power connection is required for PoE operation. The board itself draws 4.7 W typical when camera power is excluded.

What bandwidth is shared by the four MV-GE1104P ports?

The PCI-E gen2 × 2 host path is specified for 860 MB/s maximum and 800 MB/s sustained transfer. Four 1 Gbit/s camera links feed this path, with a 512 MB DDR3-RAM on-board buffer.

Can MV-GE1104P run in a 64-bit Linux acquisition host?

Yes. Ubuntu 18.04 through 24.04 on 64-bit Linux is listed, alongside Windows 7, 10 and 11. MVS is the named client software for the supported host environments.

What environmental limits should be observed for MV-GE1104P?

The working-temperature interval is 0 to 60 °C and humidity is 10 to 95% RH. Storage is allowed from -20 to 70 °C. The host enclosure should maintain the board inside those stated conditions.

How does the MV-GE1104P host link differ from MV-GE1104?

MV-GE1104P uses PCI-E gen2 × 2 and provides up to 15.4 W PoE per channel, whereas MV-GE1104 uses PCI-E gen2 × 4. Both support four 1 Gbit/s cameras, have 512 MB DDR3 and sustain 800 MB/s.

Why choose the MV-GE1004 board instead of MV-GE1104P?

MV-GE1004 is appropriate when the host path must sustain 1600 MB/s rather than 800 MB/s or when 1 GB of DDR3 buffer is needed instead of 512 MB. Both provide four powered 1 Gbit/s RJ45 channels.
