Industrial USB 3.0 Vision camera IMX226
The Mercury 2 USB 3.0 camera is an industrial vision camera, with an USB 3.0 interface. USB 3.0 is an appropriate interface for high resolution and high-speed cameras. This interface is very suitable for embedded platforms such as the Raspberry Pi (4 or higher), NVIDIA family and for standard computers.
This industrial vision camera model is interesting for you when your application complies with the following conditions:
- An industrial camera
- Maximum cable length of 4.5 meters (or 10 meter using optical USB3 cable)
- Only one cable is required to connect the device
- Compact dimensions (29x29x29mm)
- Suitable for computers (x86) and embedded platforms: ARM V7 & ARM V8
- Hardware triggering (I/O cable is required)

MTBF, warranty & product life cycle
Each year, Daheng Imaging produces more than 100.000 industrial cameras according to the highest quality standards. The mean time between failure (MTBF) is more than 400.000 hours (45 years, 24/7). The industrial cameras are certified by TÜV Rheinland and have a 3 year warranty. After market introduction, every camera model is available for at least 7 years. Most cameras have a much longer product life cycle. For more information about our product life cycle management, check this article.
Industrial monochrome / black&white camera
A black and white camera, also known as a monochrome camera, offers advantages in a variety of (industrial) applications. While the market for security and telephony focusses on color cameras, the industrial market utilizes the advantages of black and white cameras. Black and white cameras are up to 3 times more lightsensitive, provide sharp images and reduces data compared to color. This makes it ideal for the processing of images. By selecting the optimal lighting color and lens filter, product characteristics can be highlighted. Enabling the creation of high-resolution images with high contrast using a monochrome cameras.
I/O port for hardwaretrigger, strobecontrol or PLC communication
The I/O connector from a USB camera is an 8 pin HR25 Hirose connector, which is a standard in the industrial machine vision market. This camera has an input that can be used as a hardware trigger for the device. The output of the camera can be used to trigger a light source, for example an industrial machine vision light. Furthermore, the camera has two GPIO’s (General Purpose Input/ Output) which can be programmed by using our SDK. The electrical diagrams to use the I/O connector are provided in the manual. You can also check our article: hardware triggering multiple industrial cameras.
If you don’t use the I/O port, it is possible to order the camera without I/O. For high volumes, this will reduce the cost price of the camera with € 10. The minimum order quantity for an industrial USB3 camera without I/O is 10 pieces. If you want to order the industrial USB3 camera without I/O, please contact us.
