BirdDog 3x BDO4GR + 1x BDKBD Combo

BirdDog O4 Outdoor Camera

Outdoor like never before. Built for the wild, ready for the world. Introducing the BirdDog O4 Outdoor Camera.

The O4 is a purpose-built outdoor PTZ with IP66 sealing, –40 °C to +60 °C operation, 30× optical zoom (60× in HD), and a 500 m IR laser for true night vision. A 1/1.8" sensor captures crisp 4K60 video, while AI tracking, hidden cabling, and versatile connectivity with dual streaming keep O4 ready for any workflow.

The BirdDog O4 Outdoor Camera is the outdoor PTZ built for real-world deployments. Its die-cast, IP66-rated body runs from –40 °C to +60 °C and includes a heater and hydrophobic lens coatings to keep optics clear in rain, dust, or snow. Capture sharp, color-accurate 4K60 on a 1/1.8" sensor and frame the action from afar with 30× optical zoom (60× in HD). When light disappears, a precision 500 m IR laser and B/W night mode maintain visibility.

Installation is fast and tidy: all I/O sits inside a sealed undercarriage with strain relief and three weatherproof flanges; power with PoE++ or external DC. O4 streams Full NDI and NDI HX3 simultaneously, and can output NDI plus SRT/RTMP/RTSP at the same time. With 12G-SDI, HDMI, and SFP+ fiber, plus adjustable AI tracking profiles, O4 integrates into IP, hybrid, and baseband workflows with broadcast confidence.

Features:

• IP66 weatherproof housing with –40 °C to +60 °C operating range and built-in heater.
• Hydrophobic, smudge-resistant front glass for clear optics without wipers.
• 30× optical zoom (60× in HD) for long-range framing.
• 500 m infrared laser night vision with automatic B/W mode and IR cut filters.
• 1/1.8" CMOS sensor capturing 4K60 with wide dynamic range.
• Simultaneous Full NDI and NDI HX3 streaming.
• Dual streaming options: deliver NDI plus SRT/RTMP/RTSP concurrently.
• 12G-SDI, HDMI, and SFP+ (fiber) for IP, hybrid, and baseband installs.
• Sealed undercarriage cabling with three weatherproof flanges and strain relief; PoE++ or DC power.
• Adjustable AI autotracking (fast for sports, smooth for events) via BirdUI.
