WARNING:  Publishing changes in older versions of the software will require the unit be factory reset and the system will have to reconfigured. 

 












The resolution for any GS2 system is to update to install the latest software version available from gridsmartcloud.com  prior to replacing or publishing the new camera.

Any Legacy Processor will not be able to connect to a camera that includes the new sensor.  Customers can contact their local sales representative to trade in their Legacy Processor.  

*It is possible any camera that requires extensive repair will include the new sensor. Any Camera that has been updated to the new sensor will include a card indicating it has been updated as well as a notice in the final reply stating the repair is complete.
