AVer | CAM520 Pro 3 Enterprise Grade PTZ Video Conferencing Camera
The AVer CAM520 Pro 3 is a standalone Full HD PTZ video conferencing camera built for rooms that need flexible presenter and participant coverage. Its 12x optical zoom, up-to-36x total zoom, and SmartFrame, Preset Framing, and Smart Composition tools help teams capture people, whiteboards, and other room content.
It is best suited to mid-to-large meeting rooms and can connect to a host computer over USB, a room display through HDMI, and IP streaming workflows through the network. This is a camera component rather than a complete room system, so plan for a compatible host, display, audio solution, and any required mounting or control infrastructure.
