Poly Studio E60 Review

Poly Studio E60 Review

Optics & Room Coverage 8.5/10

Both lenses use 8 MP sensors, and the camera outputs 4K at 30 fps over USB or as an IP stream. The image is processed on board, so the room PC only receives the framed view.

Faces look sharp at the back of a long boardroom, and skin tones stay natural under typical office LED panels. Brighter windows are handled better than on many older PTZ cameras, though strong backlight still darkens faces.

Next to the Logitech Rally Camera the Poly offers a similar image with the advantage of a second wide sensor. That helps the framing more than the raw picture.

Pan covers plus or minus 170 degrees and tilt plus or minus 30 degrees. DirectorAI offers group framing, speaker framing, presenter tracking and people framing modes.

The wide lens watches the whole room while the PTZ lens moves, so the camera knows where to go before it pans. That avoids the hunting effect of single-lens trackers, which often swing past the speaker first.

Speaker framing depends on audio cues, so it works best with Poly microphones or a certified room system rather than a generic USB speaker.

AI Speaker Tracking & Framing 9.4/10

The PTZ lens has 12x optical zoom and Poly rates speaker pickup to about 10 m. It covers a 71 degree horizontal field at its widest, while the panoramic lens sees 107 degrees.

In practice, optical zoom keeps a presenter at the far end of a training room sharp, rather than the soft crop a fixed-lens bar produces. Zoom moves are quick but smooth enough not to distract remote viewers.

For very deep rooms, the 10 m range is the practical limit. Larger auditoriums still need broadcast-style PTZ cameras with longer lenses.

• Tracking Yes
• Framing DirectorAI group

OS Platform & Ecosystem 10.0/10

The camera is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet. Poly Lens handles firmware updates, settings and fleet monitoring.

For IT teams, Lens lets you push framing modes and updates across many rooms from one console. That consistency matters more than any single feature once you manage dozens of spaces.

Paired with a Teams Rooms system, it shows up as a certified camera with no driver work. The warranty is one year, with Poly+ support plans available.

Deployment & I/O 7.8/10

The E60 connects by USB-B to a room PC, or over RJ45 with PoE+ power and data on one cable. A 12 V DC input is available, and Poly includes a 5 m Ethernet cable and a wall mount.

PoE+ means a single cable run from the switch, which installers appreciate on ceiling or wall mounts. The 1.79 kg body measures 20 x 15 x 16.5 cm, so a sturdy shelf or mount is essential.

Rooms without a PoE+ switch port can use the DC adapter, though that adds another cable to hide behind the display.

• Mounting Shelf, wall mount (included)
• PoE Yes (PoE+)
