BirdDog BDA300 Weatherproof PTZ Camera

With an IP67 rating the A300 is perfect for fixed installations in outdoor and indoor environments. The nitrogen filled housing ensures no fog, and the external housing has been treated for corrosion resistance against salt spray. With -40°C to +60°C operating temperature rating A300 has been designed to withstand the most extreme elements on earth.

Never worry about missing the shot. With A300’s nitrogen filled housing there is no chance of the lens fogging up.

Category 4 Hurricane? Bring it. Designed for all weather conditions, A300 boasts an incredible Wind Load Durability rating equal to 60m/s. As long as you have it secured properly A300 will just keep on keeping on.

Built in infra red laser with a range of up to 500 metres helps with focusing in low light conditions.

360 degree continuous rotation, 255 preset positions, Zero Deviation Positioning technology, and a preset movement speed of 150 degrees per second mean you will never miss a shot again.

New GEN 2 Version Features:
The A300 now has the same color tools as the P200 models:

Full Colour Matrix - 64 positions of Hue (colour) and Saturation (brightness) for Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow.

72 additional Gamma Positions

The A300 now supports Cam Control for Remote Shading which allows a full one cable solution for Video, PTZ Control, Power (using PoE injector), and Remote Shading.

Design tweaks not only look great but serve a purpose to assist in protection against the elements such as extruded lips around the lens. There is also an improved IR blaster design to allow more light to be sent from the camera when using it in low-light situations.
