Omron STC-SC500POE Color 5MP GigE Machine Vision Camera Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Replacement Option: STC-MCS500POE
STC-SC500POE is a compact 5MP GigE machine vision camera featuring a 2/3″ progressive scan CCD sensor, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and full compatibility with GigE Vision® and GenICam™ standards. Designed for industrial automation and inspection systems, it delivers reliable high-resolution imaging with flexible AOI control and up to 15 fps performance.
The STC-SC500POE is a high-performance 5 megapixel GigE machine vision camera designed for industrial automation, inspection systems, and OEM imaging applications. This compact camera combines a 2/3″ progressive scan CCD sensor (Sony ICX625AQ) with Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity, enabling both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable for simplified system integration.
Built for reliability in demanding industrial environments, the STC-SC500POE supports GigE Vision® and GenICam™ standards, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard drivers and machine vision software platforms. The camera also features a user-programmable Area of Interest (AOI), adjustable frame rate, and flexible exposure controls, allowing engineers to optimize imaging performance for a wide range of inspection and automation tasks.
With a compact 35 × 35 × 55.9 mm aluminum housing, the STCSC500POE integrates easily into space-constrained systems while delivering stable high-resolution imaging performance. Its combination of 5MP resolution, PoE convenience, and flexible imaging controls makes it an excellent choice for factory automation, robotics, laboratory imaging, and precision inspection systems.
