Optics & Room Coverage
- Poly Studio E608.5/10
- Yealink UVC868.8/10Leader
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.
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.
AI Speaker Tracking & Framing
- Poly Studio E609.4/10
- Yealink UVC869.5/10Leader
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.
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.
OS Platform & Ecosystem
- Poly Studio E6010.0/10
- Yealink UVC8610.0/10
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.
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.
Deployment & I/O
- Poly Studio E607.8/10
- Yealink UVC8610.0/10Leader
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.
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.
