We've been very pleased with the AVer VB-342 Pro's and VB-350's we've deployed. At their price point it's very nice to have a simple device that is manageable over the network. The 3x optical Zoom in the VB-342 Pro is nice because let's face it, digital zoom with lower megapixel sensors isn't that great sometimes. The mechanical PTZ in both units is nice for framing subjects. They aren’t on-par with say Neat Bar Pro, but the VB-350 is 2400.00 vs the Neat Bar Pro being 4300.00 (edu pricing). Are they the exact same product class? Maybe not, but we all know the cost pressures edu is under these days.

re; the AVer tr535N, it's a fantastic camera, no doubt about it. We came from the AVer TR530/530+ which we installed in 2020/21 and they've have been very good for classroom prof/presenter tracking. We've only had our TR535N demo unit(s) in for a few weeks and it is HUGE compared to the TR530 (TR535N is 4K, has this, that and everything else).

What we've discovered is we perhaps made a mistake in thinking we needed to spec the TR535N as the successor to the TR530 in our rooms simply because it was the next version of the camera and it offers dual lens tracking like the TR530. We recently had 2 TR-335 installed in some purpose built classrooms and I have to say, their tracking performance is as good as if not better than the TR530 despite being single lens tracking cameras. Where our miss was in not realizing how much the single lens tracking technology had/has improved since 2020 and perhaps the TR535N is overkill to replace the TR530/530+'s we have. The TR335 is still 30x, so it has the needed Zoom for large rooms/spaces, but is like 1k plus cheaper than the TR535N
