VA Imaging MER2-202-60GC-VA 1/1.8" Color CMOS (e2v EV76C570) Camera, 2.02 Megapixels, 1600 x 1200, 60 fps, Global Shutter, C-Mount, GigE Vision Output

GigE Vision Camera e2v EV76C570

The Mercury 2 GigE camera lineup is designed for industrial vision applications and includes a GigE interface. GigE remains the predominant interface in conventional machine vision setups. Currently, this model does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Mercury 2 series offers advanced capabilities such as decimation, binning, pixel skipping, image reversal, and digital shifting. This particular model is suitable if your requirements include:
- An industrial-grade camera
- Cable runs up to 100 meters
- Cost-effective and straightforward cabling
- Compact dimensions of 29x29x29mm
- Optional hardware trigger support

For additional technical information, please refer to the 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 (approximately 45 years of continuous operation). These industrial cameras are TUV Rheinland certified and come with a 3-year warranty. Each model remains available for a minimum of 7 years following its market release, with many models supported for significantly longer periods.

Color industrial camera

A color industrial camera employs a Bayer filter array to generate color images. The RGB color for each pixel is computed by combining the pixel s value with those of adjacent pixels. This process typically results in images that are less sharp compared to monochrome cameras.
Because of the RGB filter on each pixel, under white light, a color camera captures roughly 66% fewer photons per pixel than a monochrome sensor, leading to reduced light sensitivity. To address this limitation, the following strategies can be employed: - Enhance illumination levels
- Increase sensor gain
- Extend shutter speed or exposure duration
- Choose a sensor with higher light sensitivity
- Use a lens optimized for greater light transmission
Color industrial cameras are preferred in applications where capturing color information is essential.

industrial GigE camera without PoE

Power for an industrial GigE camera without PoE is delivered through the I/O connector. This standard GigE camera configuration is more cost-effective and produces less heat. It is also more compact than PoE-enabled versions due to reduced hardware requirements. Using an industrial GigE camera without PoE necessitates an I/O cable connection at all times.
