Serial Communication

The camera is capable of serial communications at baud rates up to 115.2 Kbps via the on-board serial port built
into the camera's GPIO connector. The serial port uses TTL digital logic levels. If RS signal levels are required, a
level converter must be used to convert the TTL digital logic levels to RS voltage levels.
