AIDA Imaging HD-NDI-MINI – Weatherproof FHD NDI|HX Lipstick Barrel Camera

Product Overview

The AIDA Imaging HD-NDI-MINI is a weatherproof, lipstick-barrel NDI|HX POV camera built for installations requiring the absolute minimum camera footprint with full IP streaming capability. At 90 x 24mm and 180g, it is the smallest camera in AIDA's NDI lineup, delivering 1080p60 video over NDI|HX, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP simultaneously from a weather-sealed barrel body rated IP67. The M12 lens mount ships with a 4mm lens, and the 10-foot weatherproof I/O breakout cable — carrying RJ45, 12VDC, and USB connections — enables outdoor and challenging-environment deployments where the camera body needs to be fully exposed. A PoE+ adapter is included for single-cable installation.

Product Description

The HD-NDI-MINI occupies a specific position in commercial AV camera deployments: a fully weatherproof, NDI-native camera in a form factor small enough to be mounted nearly anywhere. At 24mm in diameter and 90mm in length, the barrel body can be concealed in stage structures, installed through small apertures in architectural elements, mounted on tight rigging points, or deployed outdoors on structures where a conventional box camera would be impractical. Like the HD-NDI-IP67, the MINI carries an IP67 rating. The 10-foot weatherproof I/O cable relocates the sensitive RJ45, 12VDC, and USB connections away from the camera body to a location that can be properly protected — critical for permanent outdoor mounting. Camera control is available via VISCA over IP and a browser-based web UI, enabling remote configuration without physical access to the camera body.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HD-NDI-MINI differ from the HD-NDI-IP67?

Both are IP67-rated with 10-foot weatherproof I/O cables and the same streaming protocol set. The MINI uses a 90 x 24mm lipstick barrel with an M12 lens mount; the IP67 uses a 78 x 41 x 41mm cube body with a C/CS mount. The MINI is smaller in diameter and better suited for concealed or through-aperture mounting; the IP67 offers more lens flexibility.

Does the HD-NDI-MINI require a separate NDI license?

No. The NDI|HX license is pre-loaded at the factory.

Can the camera stream NDI and SRT simultaneously?

Yes. Concurrent NDI|HX, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP streaming from a single Ethernet connection.

What lens options are available for the M12 mount?

The camera ships with a 4mm M12 lens. Compatible M12 lenses with different focal lengths can be substituted. Verify dimensions and focal length compatibility before selection.

What is the best mounting approach for outdoor use?

Mount the camera body using the 1/4"-20 thread on the bottom with standard rigging hardware. The 10-foot weatherproof I/O cable allows connections to terminate inside a weatherproof junction box or be pulled through conduit into a protected interior space.
