Editorial Reviews Comparison

Optics & Room Coverage

  • AVer CAM520 Pro37.6/10
  • AVer CAM5708.3/10Leader

AVer CAM520 Pro3

The Sony 8 MP sensor outputs 1080p at up to 60 fps through a lens with an f/1.6 to f/2.8 aperture. AVer applies WDR and noise reduction on board. The bright lens helps in dim rooms and lecture halls, keeping faces clean when the lights are lowered for slides. At 60 fps, presenters who walk and gesture look smooth on the remote screen.

AVer CAM570

Both lenses capture 4K, with the PTZ lens handling the main shot and the AI lens analysing the room. Output reaches 4K for platforms that support it. Image quality is sharp and natural in well-lit rooms, with faces clear at the far end of a boardroom. Like most PTZ cameras, it benefits from even lighting rather than strong windows behind people.

AI Speaker Tracking & Framing

  • AVer CAM520 Pro39.5/10Leader
  • AVer CAM5708.7/10

AVer CAM520 Pro3

Optical zoom is 12x, with 36x total and 24x lossless using sensor cropping. The focal length runs from 3.9 to 46.8 mm. That reach lets a teacher at the back wall fill the frame, or a camera mounted at the rear capture a whiteboard at the front. Optical zoom keeps the text crisp enough for remote students to read.

AVer CAM570

The PTZ lens offers 12x optical and 3x digital zoom, for 36x total. That is ample reach for medium and large rooms. Optical zoom keeps speakers at the back of a room sharp, rather than cropping a wide image. Moves between speakers are smooth because the AI lens has already located them.

OS Platform & Ecosystem

  • AVer CAM520 Pro39.5/10
  • AVer CAM57010.0/10Leader

AVer CAM520 Pro3

The camera is Zoom certified and works with Teams, Meet and other platforms as a standard UVC device. AVer's PTZ Management software and the CAMConnect app handle control and updates. A people-counting API reports room occupancy to building systems, which helps facilities teams plan space and spot rooms that are booked but empty.

AVer CAM570

The CAM570 works with Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. AVer PTZ Management and AVer EZManager handle settings, presets and firmware updates. The software covers tracking modes, gallery options and image tuning, though the interface feels less refined than Poly Lens or Logitech Sync. For larger deployments, AVer's management tools support remote updates across rooms, and AVer offers long warranty coverage compared with many rivals.

Deployment & I/O

  • AVer CAM520 Pro310.0/10
  • AVer CAM57010.0/10

AVer CAM520 Pro3

Outputs include USB 3.1 Type-B, HDMI, RS-232 and LAN with RTSP and RTMP streaming in H.264. Power comes from PoE+ (802.3at) or a 12 V 2 A adapter. That range means one camera can feed a room PC, a lecture capture system and a livestream at the same time. AV teams can also drive it from Crestron or Extron controllers over RS-232 or IP.

AVer CAM570

The camera connects to a room PC over USB and supports HDMI for direct display or capture. Mounting options include shelf and wall placement. As a USB camera, it works with any UVC meeting app. Setup takes longer than a video bar because you need separate speakers and microphones for the call audio.
