Built for the Wild. Ready for the world.

Bird Dog O4 is a purpose-built outdoor PTZ engineered for permanent deployment. With IP66 weatherproofing, -40 °C to +60 °C tolerance, 30x optical zoom (60x in HD), 500 m infrared night vision, and sharp, color-accurate 4K60 video using a large 1/1.8" CMOS sensor with multi-exposure HDR. With fine control over color, gamma, exposure, and dynamic range, it matches the look of higher-end production cameras - making it ideal for mixed workflows across AV and broadcast.

See Further. Even at Night.

The 30x optical zoom lens (60x in HD) lets you frame subjects clearly from a distance, without relying on digital tricks. For low-light or no-light conditions, O4 deploys a precision 500 m infrared laser emitter, paired with IR cut filters and a black-and-white mode that adapts automatically to changing light. The result is visibility you can count on, day or night.

All-Weather Warrior.

O4 operates from -40 °C to +60 °C and is protected by a fully sealed IP66-rated housing. A built-in heater prevents condensation, and cutting-edge lens coatings keep your optics clean. The result is a PTZ you can trust year-round, in any condition.

Installation Made Simple

All I/O connections live in a concealed, weather-sealed undercarriage with three flanges and built-in strain relief for clean, reliable setups. Power can be delivered over PoE++ for single-cable simplicity, or via external DC for flexibility. And if you need O4 indoors, simply remove the panel and mount it like any standard PTZ.

Al Tracking That Moves With Purpose

O4 features BirdDog's next-generation Al tracking engine with fully adjustable movement profiles. Whether you need fast, responsive tracking for sports or smooth, cinematic motion for worship and live events, O4 adapts to your environment.

Mount Like You Mean It

The optional O4 mount system transforms your install into a clean, architectural feature. It hides cables, hugs the surface, and keeps the camera looking sleek - never like a repurposed CCTV box.

Maximum Workflow Flexibility.

Whether you’re on IP, SDI, or fiber, O4 is ready. It delivers NDI® High Bandwidth and NDI®|HX3 streams simultaneously. It can also push content via SRT, RTMP, or RTSP. With native 12G-SDI, HDMI, POE++ and an SFP port, it adapts to nearly any AV or broadcast infrastructure.
