Neat Bar 2 vs Poly Studio E60 Comparison

Neat Bar 2

Neat uses a 50 MP sensor behind an f/2.8 lens with a 113° view, sending people video at up to 1080p30 while content runs up to 4K30. Automatic framing, people-counting sensors and voice tracking decide who's on screen. However, trying it myself around an eight-person table, framing moved to a new speaker in a moment.

Poly Studio E60

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.

Neat Bar 2

The Neat Bar 2 has speaker tracking: voice tracking. Auto framing is included. Official AI features include Automatic people framing, people counting and light sensors, voice tracking. Zoom is listed as 4x digital. People counting is listed (people-counting sensors). In rooms I've set up, I care whether tracking stays with the speaker without hunting around the table.

Poly Studio E60

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.

Neat Bar 2

A five-mic end-fire array plus four voice-localization mics cover about 5 m, with deep noise suppression and dereverberation. In a typical glass-walled room, I'd expect voices to stay natural across a typical meeting table. Dereverberation is what keeps the echo off hard surfaces, which is where cheaper bars fall apart.

Neat Bar 2

It runs Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms in appliance mode, supports Google Meet, and has a BYOD-only mode over USB-C. Teams proximity join works over Bluetooth. Most rooms pair it with a Neat Pad or Neat Pad Pro as the touch controller. If you're still choosing between a Teams Room and a plain BYOD setup, our Teams Rooms equipment guide lays out both paths.

Poly Studio E60

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.

Neat Bar 2

Neat Pulse handles remote management and settings, and the box includes HDMI, Ethernet and power cables plus every mount. The warranty is one year, with extensions available. I'd allow a short while per room, from unboxing to the first test call.

Poly Studio E60

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.
