High-speed 0.5MP industrial camera with Sony IMX426 sensor, global shutter, 225 fps, GigE interface, ideal for inspection, robotics, and motion analysis.
The IDS GV-51A1SE Series delivers outstanding high-speed imaging performance in a compact, GigE-based industrial camera. Available in both color (GV-51A1SE-C-HQ) and monochrome (GV-51A1SE-M-GL) variants, these models utilize Sony’s powerful IMX426 global shutter sensor to capture distortion-free images at speeds up to 225 fps. Engineered for demanding applications like high-speed inspection, robotics, and medical diagnostics, the GV-51A1SE is the ideal solution for industries where low latency, sharp detail, and reliability are critical.
Traditional cameras often struggle with motion blur in high-speed settings or under low-light conditions. The GV-51A1SE series tackles both with its global shutter CMOS sensor and high pixel sensitivity, ensuring crisp images without artifacts—even at up to 225 fps. Its industrial-grade build, C-mount lens compatibility, and GigE interface offer dependable performance with reduced wiring complexity via Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Below are real-world applications where the GV-51A1SE series is effectively deployed:
Pick-and-Place Robotics Alignment
The IMX426’s global shutter captures fast, blur-free images of components in motion, enabling robotic arms to precisely detect and align parts during surface-mount assembly. Its large 9 µm pixels offer excellent edge contrast even under inconsistent lighting, ensuring fast and accurate part pickup.
High-Speed Conveyor Inspection
In packaging lines, the sensor captures high-speed items without motion blur. Its rapid frame rate ensures even small defects, such as misprints or torn labels, are detected at full production speed, while consistent exposure across frames aids in automated rejection decisions.
Laser Welding Monitoring
This sensor enables real-time observation of laser welding by handling both the intense light of the weld and the darker surrounding area. Its short minimum exposure and high dynamic range help distinguish weld seam anomalies clearly, even during high-speed operations.
Semiconductor Wafer Alignment
During wafer inspection, the sensor provides precise imaging of tiny structures. The large pixel size captures fine detail with high contrast under controlled lighting, while the ability to define specific regions of interest allows targeted analysis with fast readout.
Traffic Flow and Vehicle Counting
Mounted on overhead structures, the camera equipped with this sensor captures fast-moving vehicles without distortion. Its global shutter ensures accurate frame-by-frame tracking, while its frame rate supports real-time counting and classification—even in low-light highway conditions.
Automated Logistics Sorting Systems
In robotic bin-picking systems, the sensor’s fast response and sensitivity enable accurate detection of mixed objects under ambient warehouse lighting. It helps guide robotic arms to grasp the right item without delays, minimizing mispicks during high-throughput order fulfillment.
Inline Surface Quality Inspection
Ideal for inspecting fast-moving flat materials like wires or plastic film, the sensor captures clear images that reveal scratches or thickness variations. Its global shutter avoids smearing, even as products move rapidly beneath line-scan lighting.
Sports and Motion Analysis
In biomechanics labs or sports training, this sensor enables high-speed video capture for analyzing fast body movements or ball trajectories. With high frame rates and no rolling shutter artifacts, it provides accurate motion tracking for performance and injury studies.
