Flexible Connectivity Options

Physical outputs include HDMI and USB/UVC with independent resolution control for direct connection to platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support means you can power and connect the camera using a single Ethernet cable, dramatically reducing setup time and cable clutter on location.

Wi-Fi 5 Built-In

No need to use cables to capture every shot. On top of regular Ethernet with PoE, the BirdDog X1 boasts built-in Wi-Fi 5 functionality. Easily capture shots from spots where it's hard to run a cable, seamlessly integrating into any environment, from conference rooms to outdoor venues.

Your cast and crew will always know where to look to keep your audience engaged and your production looking polished, essential for multi-camera live productions.

This guarantees crystal-clear video, reliable connectivity, and professional-grade performance in virtual meetings, webinars, and hybrid events. Whether for corporate AV or higher education, you can trust your camera to deliver broadcast-quality results in every call.
