At $499 / year / room, this is a pricey option for some nice features. However, an unlicensed Zoom Room appears to work with some limitations. From the main website:

You can set up a Zoom Room without a license to test the Zoom Rooms functionality or join meetings. When testing or joining a meeting from an unlicensed room, you will have limited functionality. You will be able to send and receive video and audio. However, you will not be able to invite participants, record, or share content.
Joining a meeting might be possible with a regular Zoom account, and not being able to invite participants from the Zoom Room controls, record, or share content, is it really that important?
The solution still does not automatically switch among cameras, but that's something the host probably wants to manually control anyway.
Bottom line: on a budget, this can work well as a starter level solution.
