Introduction The GS650 series of cameras are 120 frames per second, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet cameras based on the Sony ICX424AL and ICX424AQ CCD sensors. Precautions READ INSTALLATION GUIDE CAREFULLY. This document contains specific information which is necessary for the correct operation and treatment of this product.
MAINTAIN A REASONABLE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IF THE CAMERA IS TO BE OPERATED IN A WARM ENVIRONMENT, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE CAMERA BE MOUNTED ON A HEAT SINK SUCH AS A METAL BRACKET AND THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT AIR FLOW. GS650 Technical Manual Page 6...

These signals are RS-232 compatible. These signals allow communication from the host system via the Ethernet port to a peripheral device connected to the camera. Note that these signals are not isolated and therefore careful attention should be used when designing cabling in noisy environments. GS650 Technical Manual Page 12...
