For a high-speed bottle inspection line, which Allied Vision Alvium G5 camera reaches the highest frame rate at full resolution?

Question

Rapidflare · Accepted Answer

The fastest Alvium G5 models at full resolution are the **Alvium G5-052c (color)** and **Alvium G5-052m (mono)**. Both reach **688 fps** at their full 816 × 624 resolution. That figure is the datasheet maximum in Mono8 at 525 MByte/s.

They're the same camera in color and mono versions, so they're tied. Both use a Sony IMX426 global-shutter sensor, which suits fast-moving bottles on a conveyor.

**Fastest Alvium G5 models at full resolution (Mono8, datasheet maximum)**

| Model | Sensor | Full resolution | Max fps at full resolution | Shutter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G5-052c / G5-052m | Sony IMX426 | 816 × 624 | **688** | Global |
| G5-203c / G5-203m | Sony IMX422 | 1632 × 1248 | 225 | Global |
| G5-291c / G5-291m | Sony IMX421 | 1944 × 1472 | 166 | Global |
| G5-130 VSWIR | Sony IMX990 (InGaAs) | 1296 × 1032 | 130 | Global |
| G5-508c / G5-508m | Sony IMX250 | 2464 × 2056 | 95 | Global |

Speed comes at the cost of resolution. The G5-052 is fastest, but it also has the fewest pixels in the range. If your inspection needs more detail, such as small defects on caps or labels, the G5-203 or G5-291 still runs at high speed with 2–4× the resolution.

All of these cameras connect over 5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T and 1000BASE-T Ethernet and can be powered over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af). Their operating range is −20 °C to 60 °C, measured at the housing.
