Huddly L1 vs Yealink UVC84 Comparison

Huddly L1

The L1 uses a 1 inch 20.3 MP CMOS sensor with 6K resolution and outputs 1080p or 720p at 30 fps. Dynamic Light Optimization balances exposure across bright windows and darker corners. The large sensor is the standout, giving clean faces with low noise in rooms that are dim or backlit.

Yealink UVC84

The UVC84 uses a 4K sensor and outputs 4K, 1080p and 720p at 30 fps. Image processing handles typical office lighting with balanced colour and good sharpness. Faces stay crisp at the far end of a medium room, and the 4K sensor gives room for digital cropping on top of the optical lens.

Huddly L1

Zoom is digital, up to 5x, using the 6K sensor to crop without heavy quality loss. There are no moving parts or optical lens changes. In medium rooms, 5x digital zoom frames people at the far end with good clarity. In very deep rooms, faces at the back become softer than with an optical PTZ camera.

Yealink UVC84

The lens provides 12x optical zoom, extended to 36x total with 3x digital zoom. Optical zoom keeps detail intact when framing a single speaker or a whiteboard. In practice the 12x lens reaches the back of a typical boardroom without softening faces. Movement between presets is smooth, and the camera settles quickly without overshooting the target.

Huddly L1

The Huddly L1 has no built-in conferencing microphone. Official notes say video-only camera; official page says L1 pairs with the room audio solution you choose. It is specified for Medium to large rooms. When I commission a bar, I walk the table first and check whether the built-in array can cover the seats you actually have.

Huddly L1

The L1 is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms and works with Zoom and other UVC platforms. The Huddly app and Huddly Insights handle settings, updates and analytics. Huddly Insights can provide anonymous people count data, helping facilities teams understand how rooms are used. That supports space planning across an office.

Yealink UVC84

The UVC84 is compatible with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and other platforms as a standard UVC camera. Yealink RoomConnect and the Yealink Device Management Platform handle updates. For IT teams running Yealink room systems, the camera fits into an existing management platform. That simplifies firmware updates across many rooms. The UVC84 datasheet lists supported platforms and resolutions in detail, which is useful during procurement.

Huddly L1

The camera connects over a single RJ45 Ethernet cable with PoE to a Huddly USB to PoE adapter, which links to the room computer over USB 3.0. One cable to the camera simplifies installation, especially for wall mounts far from the PC. The adapter needs mains power and sits near the computer.

Yealink UVC84

The camera connects to the room PC over USB 2.0 with a Type-B port, and Yealink includes a mount and remote control. It needs separate microphones and speakers. Plug-and-play USB means it works with any UVC-compatible meeting app. Installation takes minutes if the room PC and audio system are already in place.
