- Power over Ethernet
- Trigger over Ethernet
GigE Vision camera, CMOSIS/ams CMV2000 CMOS sensor, 49.5 fps
Mako G-223 is a 2.2 megapixel GigE machine vision camera that incorporates the high quality Type 2/3 (12.7 mm diagonal) CMOSIS/ams CMV2000 CMOS sensor. At full resolution, this camera runs 49.5 frames per second. With a smaller region of interest, higher frame rates are possible.
Mako G cameras have the same ultra-compact form factor and the same mounting positions as many analog cameras. All models include Power over Ethernet, three opto-isolated outputs, and a 64 MB image buffer. The image quality profits from the precisely aligned sensor. By default monochrome models ship with no optical filter and color models ship with a Type Hoya C-5000 IR cut filter.
Benefits and features:
- Monochrome (G-223B) and color (G-223C) models
- GigE Vision interface with Power over Ethernet
- Screw mount RJ45 Ethernet connector for secure operation in industrial environments
- Supports cable lengths up to 100 meters (CAT-6 recommended)
- Comprehensive I/O functionality for simplified system integration
- Trigger over Ethernet Action Commands allow for a single cable solution to reduce system cost
- IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol allows for easy synchronization of multiple cameras and devices on network
- Popular C-Mount lens mount
- Easy camera mounting via standard M3 threads on top and bottom of housing or optional tripod adapter
- Easy software integration with Allied Vision's Vimba Suite and compatibility to the most popular third party image-processing libraries.
- Defect pixel masking feature with the Defect Mask Loader tool that allows you to manage a user defined defective pixel list to match your application and optimize the life cycle of the camera.
- Select between B 270 ASG protection glass and filter types: Jenofilt 217 IR cut filter, Hoya C-5000 IR cut filter, RG715 IR pass filter, or RG830 IR pass filter
