AVer CAM570 vs Kandao Meeting Ultra Comparison

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. Like most PTZ cameras, it benefits from even lighting rather than strong windows behind people. Compared with the Poly Studio E70 the picture is similar in good light, with Poly slightly ahead in difficult contrast.

Kandao Meeting Ultra

Two 4K HDR sensors capture a 360° view at up to 3840 x 2160. The panorama is stitched in the device and fed to the meeting app with speaker and group views. In a room with windows, HDR keeps faces visible against bright backgrounds, which is a common weakness of centre-table cameras.

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.

Kandao Meeting Ultra

Zoom is digital, using crops from the 360° image for speaker close-ups. There is no optical zoom, as with every centre-table 360° camera. This works because people sit within a few metres of the camera. Close-ups of the person speaking are sharp enough for video calls, and the camera switches smoothly between speakers.

Kandao Meeting Ultra

The Meeting Ultra uses 8 omnidirectional, 5.5 m pickup. It is specified for Medium rooms; 12 to 18 people with daisy chain.

AVer CAM570

The CAM570 works with Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. AVer PTZ Management and AVer EZManager handle settings, presets and firmware updates. For larger deployments, AVer's management tools support remote updates across rooms, and AVer offers long warranty coverage compared with many rivals. Firmware updates have added framing refinements since launch, so update the camera before the first meeting.

Kandao Meeting Ultra

Kandao's Algorithm 4.0 handles speaker tracking, auto framing and layout modes. The touchscreens control meetings directly without a separate controller. Standalone app support removes the need to manage a room PC. Firmware updates arrive over the network, and the interface is simple enough for walk-in meetings.

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.

Kandao Meeting Ultra

The device runs Android with an 8-core CPU and 6 TOPS NPU, so Zoom, Teams and other apps run locally. It can also connect to a laptop over USB as a camera and speakerphone. At 4.19 kg it is built to stay put, which suits dedicated rooms rather than shared kits that move between spaces.
