AVer CAM570 vs Poly Studio X50 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. 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.

Poly Studio X50

The X50 uses a single-lens 4K camera that captures at 3840 x 2160. Poly lists a 121° diagonal and 110° horizontal field of view with 5x digital zoom. People video runs at 4K30 or 1080p60, and a secondary camera can be added over USB or HDMI. That 110° horizontal view is wider than the Poly Studio X52's 95°, so in a wide, shallow room the X50 keeps the end seats in frame without a second camera.

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.

Poly Studio X50

Poly DirectorAI runs the framing. HP lists speaker framing, people framing, group framing, presenter tracking and DirectorAI perimeter, which keeps the camera from reacting to people outside a set boundary. Those modes cover most medium-room meetings: group framing for open discussion, speaker framing when people take turns around the table, and presenter tracking when someone stands at the screen.

Poly Studio X50

The X50 has five microphones, three MEMS and two second-order, in a beamforming array. Poly rates pickup at up to 7.62 m, the longest of the Poly bars on this site, and a line input takes the optional Studio Extension Microphone. Stereo speakers are rated at 20 W RMS and 40 W maximum with 86.1 dB sensitivity.

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.

Poly Studio X50

The X50 runs Poly VideoOS with native Microsoft Teams, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet apps. Poly Video mode adds H.323 and SIP calling at up to 6 Mbps, and USB device mode turns the bar into a camera, microphone and speaker for a guest laptop. HP's datasheet lists Teams, Zoom and Google Meet certification.

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.

Poly Studio X50

The connections cover a two-screen room: one HDMI 1.4 input with audio, two HDMI 1.4 outputs, one USB-C and two USB-A ports at 5 Gbps, gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio in and out, and Wi-Fi 802.11ac with Bluetooth 5.0 on radio versions. A wall mount kit and privacy cover come in the box, with a VESA kit and table stand as options.
