Review Summary

I love BirdDog! We have installed 4 or 5 of these devices around our campus, they are so versatile, easy to set up and use. NDI video quality is excellent, ability to encode and decode from a single device is awesome.We have several connected to televisions around the campus, which allows us to easily broadcast anything we want to any room with just a few clicks. During COVID we wanted to broadcast with a small audience outside, the BirdDog made this really easy, just take the camera, a BirdDog mini and a long ethernet cable outside. The camera showed up for our NDI enabled livestream software just as normal, really couldn't be any simpler. Make sure to check for and install new firmware, BirdDog are frequently making improvements to these devices.

Works as advertised. Just plug it not a Poe router and it work perfect! One note does run warm to hot...where you use it must have room to breathe
