BirdDog O4 Outdoor Camera - Grey

The BirdDog O4 is a purpose-built outdoor PTZ camera in grey, engineered for permanent real-world deployments exposed to the elements. Its die-cast, IP66-rated body operates from -40 to +60 degrees C with a built-in heater and hydrophobic, anti-fouling lens coatings, keeping optics clear through rain, dust, and snow without wipers or extra housings.

A 1/1.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor captures 4K60 with HDR and REC.2020 color, framed by a 30x optical zoom that reaches 60x in HD. A 500m IR laser with automatic black-and-white mode maintains visibility after dark. The camera streams Full NDI and NDI HX3 simultaneously, can run NDI alongside SRT/RTMP/RTSP, and offers 12G-SDI, HDMI, and SFP+ fiber connectivity. Sealed undercarriage I/O with strain relief and PoE++ or DC power keeps installation tidy, while adjustable AI tracking adapts from sports to events.
