Choosing between the Yealink SmartVision 40 and the Yealink MVC S40? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the SmartVision 40 if you want the one that costs $2,854 less and plugs into any laptop by USB. Pick the MVC S40 if you want the one that runs meetings on its own with no room PC (appliance mode).
