Full-NDI PTZ Camera. The BirDog Eyes P200 is a remote controlled PTZ camera that uses the NewTek NDI protocol for 140 Mbps video over IP. Resolution peaks at 1920 × 1080 with a frame rate of up to 60 fps. For imaging, the P200 uses a 2.13 MP, 1/2.8", Sony backlit CMOS sensor.

Control & Switching Options. NDI cameras can be controlled with a variety of software and hardware. We recommend NewTek’s NDI Tools as a starting point for free, software-based NDI control. For software motor control and NDI switching, we rent the NewTek TriCaster Mini Advanced HD-4 SDI Switcher Bundle.

Integrated 30x Zoom Lens. The Bird Dog P200 features a 30x optical zoom lens that will reach from 4.3mm to 129mm. The lens can be moved at up to 150°/s with a 350° pan and 30 to 90° tilt range.

Power Over Ethernet. This camera is capable of utilizing PoE from compatible network switches, but can also be powered by the included AC adapter.

Inputs & Outputs. The camera uses an RJ45 ethernet port for NDI, but also features simultaneous video output via SDI, HDMI, and CVBS. Audio input and output is available with two 1/8" (3.5mm) ports.

Q & A

How do I access the BirdDog web remote?

All of our BirdDog cameras ship configured for DHCP, with the default web browser ID printed on the bottom of the camera so all you need to do is enter the web address in a browser window to get started. Once you access the web remote, you will need to enter the default password: birddog, one word, lowercase.
Please note that because we make every effort to ensure this camera ships in the simplest, default state, you may be subject to a camera ID recovery fee if you return the camera with a unique web ID.

How can I control the camera's movement?

You can control basic camera moves using the BirdDog IR remote, which is available here as a separate rental item.
For fine movement control, you’ll need the BirdDog PTZ Keyboard.

Does this rental include the RS422 and RS232 adapter cables?

We do not include the RS adapter cables with this rental by default but can send them if requested in the “special instructions” box at checkout.

Do you rent an NDI switcher?

Yes! We recommend the NewTek TriCaster Mini Advanced HD-4 SDI Switcher Bundle that can control up to 8 networked NDI devices. The Livestream Studio HD550 4K Live Production Switcher will also control NDI cameras, but the implementation is less robust.
