IDS GigE IP65 / IP67 Machine Vision Monochrome Camera UI-5240RE-M-GL R2 and Ricoh FL-CC2514-2M


IDS GigE UI-5240RE-M-GL R2 IP65 / IP67 Machine Vision Monochrome Camera 
And 
Ricoh FL-CC2514-2M




IP65 / IP67 cameras are hard to find, especially at a good price. The latest version of this camera costs over $1000. Just an IP65 / IP67 camera enclosure cost around $500. This camera's body is a high quality IP65 / IP67 housing. The lens cover is sealed and can fit a 2 inch or 50mm long c mount lens. It has a clear glass Schneider Kreuznach 43 mm diameter filter at the end of the cover. You can unscrew that filter and add your own as needed.



This is a 1280 x 1024 monochrome camera with very good dynamic range. The imaging sensor is an EV76C560BB 1/2” CMOS chip with 5.3 x 5.3 um pixels. The black level can be lowered in the camera to produce excellent separation of the darkest shades of gray. This is somewhat unique because black level is usually only additive, making most cameras produce black with a brightness of around 30. I'm not sure if the adjustment is happening at the 10 bit level or at the 8 bit output, but the results speak for themselves. In the sample image the 100% Black square at the top right is 0, the 90% Black is 24, the White square is 248. This is the full dynamic range accurately reproduced in 8 bits, coming from the camera, no post processing required.




The camera comes with a Ricoh FL-CC2514-2M 25mm, f/1.4, 2 megapixel c-mount lens. It can accommodate up to a 2/3” chip (this camera has a 1/2” chip). The lens is of solid quality glass and metal construction. The Iris locking screw is bent, works fine, but that indicates the lens hit something. I think the lens cover was probably forced over the screw by an impatient installer with low dexterity. Whatever bent the screw didn't effect the image quality of the lens (see sample image for proof).




It's a very good camera, and a great price... so is it too good to be true?
No, however it is an old camera. IDS is ending support for the camera this year. The firmware doesn't support the new GEN<i>CAM GigE vision standards. You have to use the IDS GigE driver Version 4.80.1 or earlier to set set up the camera's IP address.
Before you buy this camera, download and install the IDS Software Suite 4.80.1 WHQL at
If it runs on you PC your good to go.



You'll need to get a power cable, the camera is not PoE. The power cable needs a Binder Series 702 M9 7-pin or 8-pin female connector. A 5 meter cable assembly Part # 79 1422 15 07
Pin 2 (BRN) is 12V – 24V DC, Pin 4 (YEL) is GND




Color code of the Binder cable id not the same as the IDS supplied cable.

IDS camera connector pin out and IDS version of the Binder connector cable.  The color code is different than the Binder cable above. 

Special version of the IO and power cable from IDS.

You can use a regular Ethernet cable, but to keep the IP65 / IP67 rating a Harting RJ45 push/pull connector should be used. There are two parts, the connector and the seal (Harting part numbers 09451451560 and 09455450033).
IDS sells this as a kit
They are available separately from Mouser by part number. www.mouser.com
