Pros & Cons

How this score is calculated
Each criterion is the weighted average of its available spec scores (0–10) from our Video Bars & Conference Cameras scoring matrix. Empty specs are skipped, not scored as 0. The Expert Score is the weighted average of the scored criteria, shown out of 10; stars = Expert Score / 20, rounded to the nearest half star. Not scored for this product (it doesn't apply, or the published specs don't cover it): Room Audio Pickup & Output. Its weight is shared by the other criteria.

Yealink UVC86 Review
Yealink built the UVC86 around a dual-eye idea, in which one camera watches the room while the other moves. That design separates detection from framing, so the PTZ head does not have to zoom out and search every time someone new speaks.

The Verdict
I’d pick the UVC86 for medium and large rooms that want smooth automatic tracking and real optical zoom. For a dual-lens camera with no moving parts, the Poly Studio E70 is the main alternative.
