Logitech Rally AI Camera Pro: The New King of Conference Room Cameras?
For large boardrooms it is one of the most capable designs available, but "king" depends on the room. The Logitech Rally AI Camera Pro, announced on 22 January 2026, combines two cameras in one housing. A motorised PTZ camera with an 8 MP sensor and 5x optical zoom gets close-ups. A wide 20 MP, 1-inch-sensor camera sees the whole room across 115.7° and drives the AI framing. Together they give 15x hybrid zoom (5x optical x 3x digital). It runs on a single PoE++ cable, is managed through Logitech Sync over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and offers Logitech's first in-wall mounting option. We have not tested it ourselves: this is based on Logitech's datasheet and launch coverage. At SourceIT it is S$4,453.31 in Graphite or Off-White (listed 2 Nov 2026).

From the Logitech Rally AI Camera Pro datasheet (2026), Logitech's 22 January 2026 announcement, and Logitech Sync Hub specifications for Rally Camera. Digital Camera World reported the zoom split differently; we use Logitech's datasheet.
Why two cameras?
A single PTZ camera has to choose between seeing the whole room and zooming on one person. When it zooms, it can no longer see who starts talking next. The Rally AI Camera Pro keeps the wide camera watching the room while the PTZ head frames the shot, so the AI can decide where to point next without first zooming out. The built-in microphones help it work out who is speaking. Logitech calls the framing RightSight 2 and offers group, speaker and grid views.
The wide camera watches and the PTZ camera shoots. That is the idea behind the Pro, and it matters most in rooms too big for one lens.
Is it suited to large boardrooms?
That is what it is designed for. The 5x optical head gives a usable close-up of someone at the far end of a long table, which digital zoom on a wide sensor cannot match. The 262° pan coverage means it can be mounted on a side wall and still cover the room. In practice:
- Pair it with room audio. Its microphones are for framing only, so the room still needs a video bar or microphones and speakers. Logitech positions it alongside Rally Bar 2 or, from Summer 2027, the Rally System 2 Pro.
- Use it as the second camera. In a long room with a Rally Bar 2 at the front, the Pro on a side or rear wall covers what the bar's 4x digital zoom cannot. See One Meeting Room, Multiple AI Cameras.
- Check your platform's multi-camera support. Logitech says the AI cameras work with Zoom Intelligent Director and Microsoft Teams multiple camera view. Microsoft's multiple camera view is Teams Rooms on Windows only, needs a Teams Rooms Pro licence and supports up to four cameras. Logitech's own multi-camera switching, RightSight 3, is due in the second half of 2027.
What are the caveats?
- Cost and overkill. New Atlas called the range "probably overkill for most smaller meeting rooms". For smaller rooms, the standard Rally AI Camera or a video bar may be enough.
- Power. PoE++ is a higher class than many office switches provide on every port. Check your switch or use a suitable injector.
- Supply. Logitech's US store showed the Pro as "Sold Out Temporarily" on 2 November 2026. Ask us about lead times.
- Concealed installs need trades. The Pro Recess Mount needs 101 mm of in-wall depth, and the ceiling mount needs installer-supplied pipe.

Frequently asked questions
What zoom does the Rally AI Camera Pro have? 15x hybrid zoom, made up of 5x optical and 3x digital, from its 8 MP PTZ camera. Its wide 20 MP camera has 4x digital zoom.
Does the Rally AI Camera Pro have microphones for calls? No. Its eight microphones are used to work out who is speaking for framing. The room still needs a video bar or separate microphones and speakers.
How is the Rally AI Camera Pro powered? By PoE++ over Ethernet, or through the optional Extension Kit for a single CAT6A cable up to 100 m.
Can it be mounted inside the wall? Yes. The Rally AI Camera Pro Recess Mount sits in 101 mm of wall depth and stands 7 mm proud of the surface.
Does it work with Microsoft Teams multi-camera? Logitech says it works with Teams multiple camera view. Microsoft supports that on Teams Rooms on Windows with a Pro licence, up to four cameras.
