AVer's Pro AV PTZ cameras (such as the PTZ310UV2 and PTZ330UV2) can be controlled over the network with VISCA over IP on UDP port 52381, or by RS-232 VISCA (default 9600 baud). They also stream video over IP, including NDI|HX3 on the UV2 models, plus HDMI, SDI and USB outputs. Control systems like Crestron use AVer drivers or VISCA commands. AVer's conference cameras (CAM and VB series) are USB-first and are mainly managed through AVer's software.
Which AVer cameras are network cameras?
| Model | Outputs | Network control | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVer PTZ310UV2 | USB, HDMI, SDI, IP, NDI|HX3; PoE+ | VISCA over IP, web UI | Large rooms, classrooms, streaming |
| AVer PTZ330UV2 | USB, HDMI, SDI, IP, NDI|HX3 | VISCA over IP, web UI | Halls, auditoriums, 30x zoom |
| AVer CAM520 Pro3 | USB conference camera | Managed via AVer software | Meeting rooms on Teams/Zoom |
| AVer CAM570 | USB conference camera, dual-lens | Managed via AVer software | Boardrooms with audio tracking |
For conference cameras, check the model's datasheet for network ports and IP streaming support; capabilities vary by model. See AVer camera software.
VISCA over IP
AVer's Pro AV control guide lists:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Protocol | VISCA over IP |
| Transport | UDP |
| Control port | 52381 |
| Serial alternative | RS-232 VISCA, 9600 baud default (set in OSD) |
Steps:
- Give the camera a static IP (or a DHCP reservation) in its web interface. See AVer default IP and password.
- Enable VISCA over IP in the camera's network settings if it isn't already on.
- In your controller, switcher or software, add the camera's IP address and port 52381 over UDP.
- Test pan, tilt, zoom and preset recall.
Many hardware joysticks, video switchers and software tools (including Bitfocus Companion with a community AVer module) speak VISCA over IP. See how to control a PTZ camera.
NDI and RTSP streaming
- NDI|HX3: the PTZ310UV2 and PTZ330UV2 support NDI|HX3, so they appear as sources in NDI-compatible switchers, mixers and production software on the same network. NDI uses multicast discovery, so keep cameras and receivers on a network where discovery works, or configure NDI discovery servers.
- RTSP/RTMP: AVer's IP PTZ cameras offer IP streams that recording software, NVRs and streaming platforms can pull. The exact RTSP path and port are set in the camera's web UI; check the user manual for your model and firmware.
Use these streams for recording, overflow rooms and live streams. See church live stream camera setup and meeting room recording.
Crestron, Q-SYS and other control systems
- Crestron: AVer camera drivers are published on the Crestron Application Market (search AVer). Alternatively, send VISCA over IP or RS-232 strings from a Crestron processor.
- Q-SYS, Extron, AMX and others: use the vendor's plug-in library where available, or VISCA over IP/RS-232.
- API: VISCA is effectively the control API for PTZ functions. AVer publishes its command set in the Pro AV VISCA guide on averusa.com.
Switchers, matrices and mixers
Use the camera output that matches your system:
- HDMI into a video switcher, capture card or matrix.
- 3G-SDI for long runs to production switchers.
- NDI for IP-based mixers.
- USB into a room PC for Teams, Zoom or Meet.
Many installs use HDMI or SDI for production and USB for the meeting at the same time.
USB extenders and hubs
USB 3 cameras are limited to short passive cables. For longer runs to the room PC:
- Use an active or optical USB cable rated for USB 3 and video.
- Or use a certified USB-over-Cat extender.
- Avoid unpowered hubs between camera and PC.
For the PTZ UV2 models, an IP or SDI output can often replace a long USB run entirely. See HDMI vs USB cameras.
Recording
Record from the meeting platform (Teams, Zoom), from a capture device on the HDMI output, or from the IP stream into recording software or an NVR.
