Mako G-234 is a 2.35 megapixel GigE machine vision camera that incorporates the high quality Type 1/1.2 (13.4 mm diagonal) Sony IMX249 CMOS sensor. At full resolution, this camera runs 41.5 frames per second (10-bit sensor readout). With a smaller region of interest, higher frame rates are possible.The Mako G-234 is an ideal replacement for legacy CCD models.

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.

See the Modular Concept for lens mount and optical filter options.
See the Customization and OEM Solutions webpage for additional options.
