One Meeting Room, Multiple AI Cameras: Smart Investment or Complete Overkill?

Smart in a few rooms, overkill in most. A second or third camera helps when people face each other and the front-of-room camera only sees the side of their heads, as in a long boardroom, a classroom where the teacher and students face opposite ways, or a training room with a presenter at the front. In a typical small or medium meeting room, one good camera such as the Logitech Rally Bar 2 or a Logitech Rally AI Camera is enough. Multi-camera also depends on the platform: Microsoft Teams Rooms supports up to four cameras, but only on Windows and only with a Teams Rooms Pro licence, while Logitech's own multi-camera switching (RightSight 3) arrives in the second half of 2027. At SourceIT the Rally Bar 2 is S$5,878.08 and the Rally AI Camera S$3,888.00 (listed 2 Nov 2026).

What do the platforms support today?

From Microsoft Learn's Teams Rooms multiple camera view page (updated 16 September 2026), Logitech's January and October 2026 launch releases, and Logitech's Sight Smart Switching guide (July 2024).

One point to check before buying: Logitech says its Rally AI Cameras work with Teams multiple camera view, while Microsoft's page says multi-stream intelligent cameras are not supported in that feature. Ask us to confirm the exact configuration for your room before you order several cameras for Teams.

Which rooms benefit from more than one camera?

• Long executive boardrooms. People at the far end of a long table look small to a front camera, and people facing each other appear in profile. A second camera at the far end or a centre-of-table camera such as Logitech Sight shows faces.
• Classrooms and lecture rooms. One camera on the teacher and one on the students lets remote learners see both the lesson and the class discussion.
• Training rooms. A presenter at the front and participants in rows benefit from a presenter shot plus an audience camera for questions.
• Rooms with a whiteboard. A content camera such as Logitech Scribe shares the physical whiteboard alongside the people view.

Where is it overkill?

• Huddle and small rooms. Everyone already faces the screen and one camera sees them all.
• Medium rooms with a good wide camera. Rally Bar 2 has a 1-inch sensor with a 115° field of view designed for "deep and wide layouts".
• Rooms on Teams Rooms on Android. Microsoft's multiple camera view is Windows-only, so extra cameras will not be used the way you expect.
• Estates without someone to maintain them. Every camera is another device to mount, cable, update and troubleshoot.

New Atlas, reviewing the Rally AI Camera range in February 2026, called it "probably overkill for most smaller meeting rooms", which is a fair summary for multi-camera setups too.

Add a camera when someone's face is missing from the picture, not because the room has space for one.

What does a multi-camera room cost to run?

Beyond the cameras themselves, budget for:

• Licences. Teams multiple camera view needs Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro, which is S$610 per room per year at SourceIT (listed 2 Nov 2026).
• Compute. For four cameras, Microsoft asks for an Intel 12th-gen processor in the Windows room PC.
• Cabling. A Rally AI Camera at the back of a room can run up to 100 m over one CAT6A cable with the Extension Kit.
• Power. The Rally AI Camera needs PoE+ and the Pro needs PoE++, so check your switch's PoE budget.
• Time. Someone has to set the camera zones and test the switching in real meetings.
