BirdDog MAKI Live Streaming Camera - 4K, 3x Optical Zoom, WiFi 6, Built-in Battery

The BirdDog MAKI Live supports live streaming and recording in up to 4K resolution.

The built-in battery provides up to 6 hours of continuous use on a single charge.

Yes, you can control the camera using the optional MAKI Studio iPad app and Control Surface, or via NDI|HX commands.

NDI|HX is a low-bandwidth, high-efficiency version of NDI that allows video and control signals to be transmitted over standard IP networks with minimal latency, ideal for wireless or congested network environments.

The product description does not specify external audio inputs. It features advanced noise reduction for its internal audio capture.

The camera features a fixed 3x optical zoom lens; it is not designed for interchangeable lenses.

The HALO Tally system provides a visual indicator light on the camera that changes color (e.g., red for 'on-air', green for 'preview') to clearly show the camera's status in a multi-camera production.

Ensure the battery is fully charged. Connect the power adapter and try again. If the issue persists, contact support.

Verify your Wi-Fi 6 connection strength or wired network stability. Reduce network congestion if possible. Ensure the camera firmware is up to date.

Ensure the lens area is clean. In challenging lighting, manual focus may be preferable. Check for firmware updates that may improve autofocus performance.

Confirm that the tally feature is enabled in the camera settings and that your production switcher is correctly sending tally signals.

Ensure gestures are within the supported range and lighting conditions. Re-calibrate gesture recognition if the option is available in the settings.
