Crestron Mercury vs. Logitech MeetUp

It is well suited for small to medium sized conference room where video calls with your own device can be utilized. The Mercury essentially allows you to use any communication platform that you currently are using on your own devices. Works well as a stand alone speaker phone as well

The Logitech MeetUp thrives in a huddle / small room environment. The fish-eye lens on the camera has a very wide range of vision and allows participants to sitting close to the screen. The mic array does a good job picking up voices and the speaker has a balanced tone and sufficient volume. Not suitable for larger rooms. The Rally would be a better solution.

The Poly can use any video platform, but you have to pick only one. You do not have the ability to BYOD and use a different platform. Both the camera unit and the controller are connected to your network separately and sometime come un-paired and will not "speak" to each other and must be reset

While the other cameras offer similar solutions, we found for the price to features, the meetup met our needs the best. With the trio, we had issues with Poly's software which the meetup gets around by being able to plug directly into a PC. The panacast, while it worked very well, we would have still needed to pair it with the rest of the equipment for a full experience. With the meetup, we have only needed the meetup, the PC, and an iPad as a controller.
