BirdDog A300 Gen 2 Weatherproof Full NDI 30x PTZ Camera
The A300 Gen 2 is the BirdDog head for a camera position that lives outside: a stadium gantry, a racetrack, a rooftop, a harbour. The housing is IP67, nitrogen-filled and corrosion-treated, rated for wind load equal to a Category 4 hurricane and an operating range of -40 to +60 C with a built-in heater. A 1/2.8-inch Sony backlit CMOS sits behind a 30x optical zoom (4.3 - 129 mm, F1.6 - F4.7) that covers a 63.7-degree wide field down to 2.3 degrees at the long end, with 12x digital on top.
It outputs 1080p60 over SDI and Full NDI at the same time, with NDI|HX2, SRT, RTSP and RTMP for lower-bandwidth links, and 3.5 mm stereo audio in and out. Pan is 360-degree continuous with 255 presets, tilt runs +90 to -30 degrees, and a built-in infrared laser gives it 500 m of illumination after dark. Power is 24 V AC or 97 W PoE; a 36 W baseline rises to 76.7 W with the heater and laser running. The RESTful API opens it to custom automation. Pricing on request.
