Logitech Rally Camera vs Poly Studio X52 Comparison

Logitech Rally Camera

The Ultra HD sensor outputs up to 4K, and the camera also runs 1080p at 60 fps. RightLight with wide dynamic range balances bright windows against faces in the middle of the table. In a typical glass-walled room that balance is what you notice first. People near the window no longer turn into silhouettes, and colours stay natural under office LEDs.

Poly Studio X52

A 20 MP 4K lens with a 110° view, 5x digital zoom and up to 60 fps drives DirectorAI people, group and speaker framing. DirectorAI perimeter ignores people outside the room. However, behind glass walls on my own install, perimeter framing ignored people walking past outside in a moment. That's a real advantage over bars that reframe every time someone walks by.

Logitech quotes 15x HD zoom, meaning the camera can crop in a long way while keeping a 1080p picture. The lens is motorised, so zooming is smooth rather than the jumpy digital crops of webcams. For a long boardroom that reach matters. A presenter at a whiteboard 6 or 7 metres away can fill the frame, and the far end can read handwriting.

Poly Studio X52

The Studio X52's official AI features include Poly DirectorAI: people, group and speaker framing, DirectorAI perimeter; NoiseBlockAI; Acoustic Fence. Zoom is listed as 5x digital. Whiteboard handling is listed as Digital whiteboarding. In rooms I've set up, I care whether tracking stays with the speaker without hunting around the table.

Poly Studio X52

Four mics, two MEMS and two second-order, reach about 6.09 m, and an optional expansion mic plugs into the line input. I'd expect clear pickup across a typical medium room, enough for most medium rooms of six to nine people without extra mics. Mixing MEMS and second-order mics at about 6.09 m is why the X52 covers medium tables better than the X32.

The camera is a standard UVC device, so Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Webex see it without drivers. Logitech Sync adds remote monitoring, firmware updates and RightSight settings across many rooms. For IT teams, Sync is the strongest point, because firmware and health checks run from one dashboard. Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms deployments use it as a certified room camera.

Poly Studio X52

Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet run in appliance mode. For legacy endpoints there's Poly Video mode with SIP and H.323, plus a USB mode for guests. It's certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, and a TC8 or TC10 touch controller sits on the table. Enroll in Poly Lens on day one so monitoring isn't a later project.

The camera connects over USB to a room PC or laptop and takes power from its own adapter. It mounts on a table, on a wall bracket or upside down from the ceiling, and the image flips automatically. Logitech includes a remote, a USB cable, the power supply and mounting hardware.

Poly Studio X52

Poly Lens manages firmware and settings remotely. The box includes a monitor clamp, power adapter and cables. I'd allow a short while for mounting, cabling and pairing the TC10. Monitor clamp and power accessories in the box get a pilot room live quickly; production rooms still need planned cable paths.
