BirdDog Max Green BDMAX-GREEN

BirdDog MAX Green BDMAX-GREEN

BirdDog MAX is a PTZ camera designed to bridge the gap between everyday webcams and production cameras, for video meetings as well as professional broadcasts. It uses a Sony 1/2.8" Ultra HD sensor with a 12x optical zoom and a wide-angle lens (89.5° diagonal) suited to rooms of any size, and AI tracking automatically detects and follows subjects to keep them framed.

HDMI and NDI outputs integrate MAX into any workflow: NDI HX2/HX3 for IP production, SRT and RTMP for remote and CDN streaming, HDMI for traditional AV setups and USB-C UVC to work directly as a webcam in Zoom, Teams and similar apps. An always-on E-Ink label shows information such as the network address even when the camera is off. The body is made from ocean-bound plastics and the camera is powered by the included DC adapter or PoE, with under 13 W consumption.
