Logitech MeetUp vs Yealink UVC86 Comparison

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.

Yealink UVC86

Both cameras use 8 MP Sony sensors, and the system outputs 4K at 30 fps. The PTZ camera autofocuses from about 1 m to infinity. Image quality is crisp with natural colour under typical office lighting. Faces at the far end of a long table remain sharp when the camera zooms in, which is where a 4K sensor earns its place.

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.

Yealink UVC86

The PTZ camera has 12x optical zoom, extended to 20.4x HD zoom with 1.7x digital. Nine presets store favourite positions. Optical zoom means close-ups keep full detail, so a presenter at a whiteboard 8 metres away can fill the frame cleanly. Zoom movements are smooth enough to happen live during a meeting.

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.

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.

Yealink UVC86

The camera is UVC compliant and works with Teams, Zoom and other platforms over USB. Yealink's camera control plug-in and device management handle settings and firmware. Yealink targets the UVC86 at Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms deployments, often bundled into MVC room kits with a mini PC and touch console.

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.

Yealink UVC86

Connections include USB 3.0 Type-B, USB 2.0 Type-A, a Yealink VCH port for audio devices, a 3.5 mm line-in and HDMI out for compatible Yealink systems. A 7 m USB cable, a wall bracket and a remote are in the box. Mounting options include a table, on top of a TV, a wall, a ceiling or a tripod.
