# MER-531-20GM-P

> The MERCURY GigE PoE series (MER-G-P) camera is DAHENG IMAGING’s mature area scan industrial digital camera, featuring megapixel resolution, high definition, extremely low noise and compact design. The MER-531-20GM/C-P camera is a monochrome/color GigE Vision camera with the Onsemi PYTHON 5000 CMOS sensor. Thanks to the extremely compact (38.3mm × 29mm × 29mm), robust metal housings and locking screw connectors, the MERCURY cameras can secure the reliability of cameras deployed in harsh environments. The MER-531-20GM/C-P camera is powered over Ethernet and has opto-isolated I/Os. The GPIOs give MER-G-P maximum flexibility to adapt to specific needs. The camera has an outstanding price/performance ratio. The MERCURY family cameras are especially suitable for machine vision applications such as industrial inspection, medical, scientific research, education, security and so on.
