Features:
- Color CMOS acquisition at up to 2 megapixels
- Selectable 7× and 16× high-speed readout
- C-mount optics with conditional IP64 protection
KEYENCE CA-H200C captures color images for machine-vision inspection with a compatible KEYENCE controller.
Its progressive-scan sensor can operate at 1600 × 1200 or 1024 × 960 pixels, allowing image size and scan time to be balanced for the application.
The camera provides digital serial transfer and an electronic shutter range suitable for controlling exposure on moving or stationary targets.
The KEYENCE CA-H200C 2-Megapixel Color Machine Vision Camera may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Balance Detail and Scan Time
- Detail Priority: Select the 1600 × 1200 mode when the inspection needs the full 2-megapixel image from KEYENCE CA-H200C.
- Cycle Priority: The 1024 × 960 mode has the shorter documented scan times and can be evaluated when full 2-megapixel acquisition is unnecessary.
- Color Requirement: The final C in KEYENCE CA-H200C identifies the color configuration, so confirm that the installed inspection is not monochrome.
- Controller Load: Choose image size together with controller processing requirements instead of treating resolution as an isolated camera setting.
Coordinate Readout and Exposure
- Readout Mode: The 7× and 16× selections change both pixel-transfer frequency and scan time on KEYENCE CA-H200C.
- Image Size: Compare timing in the selected 2-megapixel or 1-megapixel mode because each resolution has its own scan-time pair.
- Exposure Window: Set the electronic shutter within the available range while checking that the target remains adequately exposed.
- System Check: Validate the chosen image size, readout mode and shutter together in the controller inspection cycle before final setup.
Complete the C-mount Assembly
- Lens Interface: Fit a C-mount lens selected for the 1/1.8-inch sensor format used by KEYENCE CA-H200C.
- Resolution Check: Confirm that the lens choice supports the image detail expected from the selected acquisition mode.
- Seal Condition: IP64 applies only when KEYENCE CA-H200C is assembled with the specified IP64 lens and environment-resistant cable.
- Incomplete Assembly: Do not treat the camera body alone as an IP64 installation when either required sealing component is absent.
Match Distance to the Camera Setup
- Direct Route: A compatible camera cable can connect KEYENCE CA-H200C directly for a documented distance of up to 10 m.
- Extended Route: Supported layouts reach 20 m with one repeater or 30 m with two repeaters and the required cable sections.
- Environmental Cable: Use the specified environment-resistant cable when the KEYENCE CA-H200C installation must retain its IP64 condition.
- Layout Review: Count every cable section and repeater before installation instead of selecting the camera from total distance alone.
