The PTZ Camera That Runs the Meeting — So You Don’t Have To
The CAM520 Pro3 is designed around a simple idea: the camera operator shouldn’t exist in a standard business meeting. Smart Composition crops up to 9 participants into equal individual feeds automatically — no software to install, no calibration, no ongoing adjustments. SmartFrame adjusts the frame to keep everyone in shot from up to 7 metres away, and keeps tracking even when participants are wearing masks. Preset Framing follows a presenter as they move between defined areas without any manual camera control. The combined result is a meeting room that looks professionally managed without anyone managing it.
The optics back this up. Twelve times optical zoom with 24X lossless zoom and 36X total zoom via PTZApp 2 covers an 80° diagonal field of view down to tight presenter detail in rooms where a single camera would otherwise struggle. Pan ±170° and tilt +90°/-30° reach every corner of the room. Ten camera presets are available via the IR remote; 128 presets via VISCA command. Fast, quiet pan and tilt movement keeps the camera unobtrusive during meetings.
Three outputs run simultaneously — HDMI, USB 3.1, and IP — each delivering 1080p at 60fps. That means one CAM520 Pro3 feeds the room display via HDMI, the conferencing PC via USB, and a recording or streaming encoder via IP at the same time. No switching hardware, no quality compromise. AVer Virtual Streaming technology allows the camera to be used as a video source over a single Ethernet connection. WDR processing handles backlit and high-contrast environments — rooms with windows behind participants — automatically balancing highlights, shadows, and white balance without manual intervention.
For IT and AV managers, the people-counting API is worth noting: enterprises and third-party software can pull meeting space occupancy data directly from the CAM520 Pro3, feeding room booking and space utilisation analytics without additional sensors. PoE+ eliminates the need for a separate power cable to the camera mount position. Kensington slot for physical security. Three-year camera warranty, one year on accessories.
36X Total Zoom with 24X Lossless — Every Detail, Every Participant
The CAM520 Pro3’s 12X optical zoom extends to 24X lossless zoom for outstanding clarity, and 36X total zoom via PTZApp 2 for maximum reach — covering the full 80° diagonal field of view down to a tight presenter close-up. Flexible pan and tilt controls focus on whiteboards, physical objects, and distant participants in mid-to-large rooms without any loss of image quality at intermediate zoom levels.

Smart Composition — Equal Participant Feeds for Up to 9 People, No Setup
Smart Composition uses AI to crop each participant’s face or body into a perfectly framed individual feed — headshot or half-body — and displays them in equal-sized tiles. It works for up to 9 participants, switches smoothly between individual and group views, and requires no software installation or calibration. Click to enable in PTZApp 2 and the camera handles participant framing for every meeting from that point on.
SmartFrame — AI Auto-Framing from 7 Metres, Even Through Masks
SmartFrame AI automatically adjusts the camera frame to keep all participants in shot — working from up to 7 metres away and continuing to track even when participants are wearing masks. Preset Framing extends this further: set multiple viewing zones and the camera shifts between them automatically as the presenter moves, with no manual camera control required during the session.
Triple Simultaneous Output — Display, Call, and Recording at Once
HDMI, USB 3.1, and IP outputs all run simultaneously at 1080p/60fps — one CAM520 Pro3 feeds the room display, the conferencing PC, and a recording or streaming encoder at the same time. AVer Virtual Streaming also allows the camera to operate as a video source over a single Ethernet connection, giving flexible deployment options for rooms where USB cable runs are impractical.
WDR Enterprise Imaging — Balanced in Any Light, Powered Over the Cable
The Sony WDR sensor automatically balances highlights, shadows, and white balance in high-contrast environments — rooms with windows or strong backlight behind participants. PoE+ (802.3at) powers the camera over the network cable, eliminating a separate power run to ceiling or high-wall mount positions. The people-counting API lets enterprise and third-party platforms pull occupancy data directly from the camera for space utilisation analytics.
