Choosing between the AVer CAM550 and the AVer TR322? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the CAM550 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms) and also supports Teams and Zoom. Pick the TR322 if you want the one that also suits classrooms and comes with a longer standard warranty (5 years vs 3).
Both are USB PTZ cameras; the difference is camera and power.
