How to choose
- Room depth decides zoom. The farther the back row, the more optical zoom you need.
- Framing. Auto-framing and speaker tracking matter more than resolution in most rooms.
- Connection. USB for PC rooms; HDMI, SDI or IP (NDI) for AV systems and streaming.
- Audio is separate. A camera has no speakers: budget for a speakerphone, bar or ceiling mics.
