BirdDog O4 Outdoor PTZ - Grey

Built for the Wild. Ready for the world.

BirdDog O4 is a purpose-built outdoor PTZ engineered for permanent deployment. With IP66 weatherproofing, –40 °C to +60 °C tolerance, 30× optical zoom (60× in HD), 500 m infrared night vision, and 4K60 video, O4 delivers reliable coverage where other PTZs fail.

Broadcast-Quality Video, Anywhere.

O4 captures 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. From sports facilities to smart cities, transport, houses of worship, large-scale events, and security, O4 is built to produce exceptional content anywhere.

See Further. Even at Night.

The 30× optical zoom lens (60× 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 keeps frost from condensation, and cutting-edge lens coatings keep optics clean. The result is a PTZ you can trust year-round, in any condition.

Installation Made Simple.

Unlike typical outdoor PTZs that create cable management headaches, O4 is designed with installers in mind. 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 standard DC for flexibility. And if you need O4 indoors, simply remove the panel and mount it like any standard PTZ.

AI Tracking That Moves With Purpose.

O4 features BirdDog’s next-generation AI 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. For security and monitoring, its human-like precision ensures subjects are always in frame.

No Wipers. No Worries.

O4 is built for unforgiving outdoor conditions, so we eliminated the weakest point: the wiper. Instead, its aircraft-grade, hydrophobic glass repels water, dust, and grime to keep the lens clear. The result? No moving parts that wear, no sensors, and no extra maintenance. Rain or shine, O4 delivers consistent visibility and reliable performance year-round.

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 flush-mounted. It looks more like a purpose-built outdoor appliance than a repurposed CCTV box.

Maximum Workflow Flexibility.

O4 is built for almost any workflow. Stream in Full NDI® and NDI® HX3 at the same time, or output NDI alongside SRT, RTMP, or RTSP. With native 12G-SDI and fiber via SFP+, O4 is built to deliver broadcast results in any environment. O4 integrates effortlessly into IP hybrid, or traditional baseband setups. PoE++ keeps installs simple and scalable, while dual-streaming support ensures you can deliver in multiple formats at once.

BirdDog DNA. Field Ready.

O4 is powered by BirdDog’s most refined next-gen software, control it through BirdUI, API, or third-party systems. It integrates seamlessly with KBD, CamControl, and other BirdDog tools.
