What is the CAM550?
The CAM550 is a 4K PTZ conference camera with a second fixed AI lens. The wide lens watches the whole room while the 12x optical PTZ lens frames people, so the camera reacts to new participants without panning blindly.
It outputs USB, HDMI and IP at the same time and runs on PoE+. Smart Gallery and AVer virtual USB streaming are configured in PTZApp 2.
It is camera only, so add a speakerphone or ceiling mic. Mount it at about 1.5 m; don't put it on the table.

- Skip it for: rooms that want one-touch join with no PC (pick an appliance bar).
