2.5GIGE VISION CAMERA
MER3-800-36G3M-P is part of MER3 2.5GigE series. It is an industrial GigE vision camera, with a 2.5GigE interface. GigE is the most common interface used for cameras in traditional machine vision applications. The MER3 series contains high resolutions for global shutter sensors.
This model is interesting for you when your application complies with the following conditions:
- An industrial camera
- Maximum cable length of 100 meters
- Inexpensive and easy installation of cables
- Only one cable is required to connect the device
- Dimensions are: 29x29x50.6mm

MONOCHROME INDUSTRIAL CAMERA
A black and white camera, also known as a monochrome camera, offers advantages in a variety of applications. While the market for security focusses on color cameras, the industrial market utilizes the advantages of black and white cameras. Black and white cameras are very light sensitive, provide sharp images and reduces data compared to color. This makes it ideal for imageprocessing. By selecting the right color as your light source and lens filter, a black and white camera can utilize the product its characteristics. Images with a large contrast and a high resolution can be created with an industrial monochrome camera.
POE INDUSTRIAL CAMERA
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for GigE is designed to provide both power and data communication over a standard Ethernet cable. This reduces the amount of cables and installation time, in applications that do not require a hardware trigger or I/O. When I/O is required in an application we advise to supply the camera via a I/O connector. The camera’s power usage is larger when using Power over Ethernet than via the I/O connector. The camera will generate extra heat when using PoE. A PoE GigE camera is larger than the version without PoE. An extra PCB is needed to separate the power of the Ethernet signal, and in order to convert the voltage to a lower voltage. Extra hardware is needed, which makes it more expensive than the version without PoE. The advantage of PoE is that installation is easier because less cables are 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.
