Choosing between the AVer PTZ211 and the Poly Studio E60? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the AVer PTZ211 if you want the one that costs $244 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Poly Studio E60 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms).
Both are USB PTZ cameras; the difference is camera and power.
