AVer CAM520 Pro3 vs Logitech MeetUp Comparison

AVer CAM520 Pro3

The Sony 8 MP sensor outputs 1080p at up to 60 fps through a lens with an f/1.6 to f/2.8 aperture. AVer applies WDR and noise reduction on board. The bright lens helps in dim rooms and lecture halls, keeping faces clean when the lights are lowered for slides. At 60 fps, presenters who walk and gesture look smooth on the remote screen.

Logitech MeetUp

The sensor supports 4K Ultra HD at 30 fps over USB 3.0, with 1080p and 720p for most meeting platforms. RightLight adjusts exposure for windows and dim rooms. In small rooms the picture is sharp and well balanced, with natural skin tones. Edges of the wide view show some distortion, which is common with lenses this wide.

Optical zoom is 12x, with 36x total and 24x lossless using sensor cropping. The focal length runs from 3.9 to 46.8 mm. That reach lets a teacher at the back wall fill the frame, or a camera mounted at the rear capture a whiteboard at the front. Optical zoom keeps the text crisp enough for remote students to read.

Logitech MeetUp

Zoom is 5x digital, using the extra resolution of the 4K sensor to crop in. There is no optical zoom. In a small room that is enough to frame a person at the end of the table without much loss in quality. Beyond a few metres the crop softens faces noticeably.

Logitech MeetUp

The MeetUp uses three beamforming mics, 4 m range. Full-duplex audio is listed, so both ends can talk without the usual half-duplex clipping. It is specified for Huddle rooms up to about six people. When I commission a bar, I walk the table first and check whether the built-in array can cover the seats you actually have.

AVer CAM520 Pro3

The camera is Zoom certified and works with Teams, Meet and other platforms as a standard UVC device. AVer's PTZ Management software and the CAMConnect app handle control and updates. A people-counting API reports room occupancy to building systems, which helps facilities teams plan space and spot rooms that are booked but empty.

Logitech MeetUp

MeetUp is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and works with Google Meet and other platforms. Logitech Sync handles fleet management and firmware updates. Sync lets IT teams monitor devices remotely and push updates across many rooms. That consistency is useful in larger organisations with dozens of huddle spaces. As an older product, it receives fewer new features than current Rally models.

Outputs include USB 3.1 Type-B, HDMI, RS-232 and LAN with RTSP and RTMP streaming in H.264. Power comes from PoE+ (802.3at) or a 12 V 2 A adapter. That range means one camera can feed a room PC, a lecture capture system and a livestream at the same time. AV teams can also drive it from Crestron or Extron controllers over RS-232 or IP.

Logitech MeetUp

MeetUp connects to a room PC or laptop by a single USB cable. Three beamforming microphones cover about 4 m, and an optional Expansion Mic extends pickup to 5 m. The integrated speaker reaches 95 dB SPL at 0.5 m, which is plenty for a small room. A wall mount is included, and a TV mount is sold separately.
