The GE680 is a very fast, VGA-resolution, high-performance machine vision camera with Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE Vision*). The GE680 runs 200 frames per second at VGA resolution (640x480), uncompressed, over its Gigabit Ethernet interface. The CCD sensor is suitable for applications where speed and good sensitivity are required. The GE680 works with standard gigabit Ethernet hardware and cables and can have cable lengths up to 100 meters (300 ft) long using conventional Cat5e network cabling. Applications for the GE680 include high-speed inspection, machine vision, optical character recognition, traffic imaging, robotics, and OEM applications, etc.

Note to IE Users: If camera files are opening as text in your browser, you can cause them to instead download with an option to save as a file by associating .icd files in Windows to open in a program like Notepad. This will save you from having to copy text in the browser and manually create and save the file. Here are instructions to do this:
- create a text file on your desktop and rename it to have the .icd extension (you may be alerted about the file type - just click Yes to continue)
- right-click on your new file, select Open, and choose the option to "Select from a list of programs"
- choose Notepad from the list of programs, select the option to "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", and open the file
- Windows will now associate that file type with Notepad, and clicking Camera File links will download and save as desired
