VA Imaging ME2P-1840-6GM-P-VA 1" Monochrome CMOS (Gpixel GMAX2618) Camera, 18.4 Megapixels, 4508 x 4096, 6 fps, Global Shutter, C-Mount, GigE Vision Output

GigE Vision Camera GMAX2518

The Mercury 2 Pro GigE Vision Camera lineup represents a series of industrial cameras equipped with a GigE Vision interface. These cameras incorporate high-resolution, low-noise global shutter sensors housed within a compact enclosure. GigE remains the prevalent interface in conventional machine vision systems. The ME2P series offers enhanced functionalities; if you require assistance with advanced features, please reach out so we can verify availability or potential implementation. Additionally, the cameras support "remove parameter limit" functionality, enabling extended ranges for exposure, gain, and white balance adjustments. Exposure durations can extend up to 10 seconds.
This GigE Vision Camera series is well-suited for applications that meet the following criteria:
- Compact, high-resolution global shutter camera
- Cable lengths up to 100 meters
- Cost-effective and straightforward cable installation
- Single-cable connection to the industrial camera
- Advanced image processing capabilities

For further information, please consult the ME2P GigE Vision camera manual.

MTBF, warranty & product life cycle

Daheng Imaging manufactures over 100,000 industrial cameras annually, adhering to stringent quality standards. The mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 400,000 hours (equivalent to 45 years of continuous operation). These industrial cameras carry TÜV Rheinland certification and include a 3-year warranty. Each camera model remains available for a minimum of 7 years following its market release, with many models supported for considerably longer periods.

Monochrome Industrial Camera

A monochrome camera, also referred to as a black and white camera, provides benefits across numerous applications. While color cameras dominate markets such as security and telecommunications, industrial sectors leverage the advantages of monochrome imaging. These cameras exhibit high light sensitivity, deliver sharp image quality, and generate less data compared to color cameras, making them ideal for image processing tasks. By selecting appropriate light sources and lens filters, monochrome cameras can exploit their inherent characteristics to produce images with strong contrast and high resolution.

Advanced vision camera features

The ME2P GigE Vision camera series integrates both fundamental and sophisticated features, including:
- Programmable ROI allowing increased frame rates through partial scanning
- Adjustable gain, exposure, and white balance settings (white balance applicable only to color variants)
- Support for auto gain, auto exposure, and auto white balance (auto white balance limited to color models)
- Four acquisition modes: Single frame, continuous, software trigger, and external trigger
- Compliance with GenICam and GigE Vision standards, enabling compatibility with numerous third-party software platforms such as HALCON and LabVIEW
- Multiple sample applications and an easy-to-integrate SDK supporting various programming environments
- Certifications and standards compliance: CE, RoHS, GenICam, GigE Vision

These comprehensive features position the ME2P GigE Vision camera series as an excellent option for demanding image processing applications.
