Highly Underrated! Best camera available right now!

I started out with (4) Arlo Ultra 4k cameras on my house. I wasn't impressed with the app, reliability or picture quality. I decided to save some money and try out the Circle 2 cameras and I was blown away! These actually look better than the 4K Arlo despite being "only" 1080P. Night vision could be better, but it works ok if you have some ambient lighting and don't rely 100% on the built-in IR. The best part of these is the software. When you open the app, you get whichever camera you were on last in live view. One tap takes you to the overview of all cameras. Simple swipe to go to previous events. I hate how other camera apps make you press play to see the camera feed. Why would I have opened the app if I didn't want to see what was happening RIGHT NOW? This is not the case with Circle 2. If you pay for the advanced subscription as I do, then you get powerful software options for motion including motion detection that sends you a snapshot notification to your phone of the moment that it sees and whether it's a person or not. When you tap on this notification, it takes you directly TO THAT EVENT saving valuable time when you're concerned about who might be on your property! The only thing I wish Logitech would release is some kind of doorbell camera. Overall, these have been amazing and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Much better features than competitors at this price range, great product

We got this camera for an indoor use (to monitor our pet when we are out) and it is amazing! We reviewed all security cameras and pet cameras on the market around this price range and this one was definitely the best. Once we received it we were pleased with how amazing it was (better than we expected). - The best part (no other camera offers this): there is a 24hr review at no additional charge, you can even download clips to your phone / computer if you want some backup - Widest angle of all cameras (we can monitor the full living room and the entry to 2 separate rooms) - Picture is neat and fluid, you can even zoom in! - Night vision is super impressive, you can really see clearly - We love that we can talk to our dog using the voice command - Super easy to set up, we did not encounter any of the issues mentioned by others

Wow, IT JUST WORKS!

Finally, a gadget that just works. Super easy to install. Easy to use iphone app. Easy to use web app. Super convenient AppleTV app for cordcutters like me. Probably about 10 minutes elapsed from the time I opened the box to the time I was sitting on my bed monitoring my driveway from my AppleTV. I love this thing. Everything is super intuitive. It's got a motion sensor and a camera and you can set up alerts to your iphone whenever it sense movement. Works well with Home, Apple's automation center. While at work I can pull up the website (or iphone app) and monitor live video to see if anybody comes by. This is just a really great product and I felt compelled to write a good review for it, because it does everything it claims to do really well.

Great camera, simple setup, easy HomeKit integration. I will be buying another camera next week! Yes, I recommend this product.

The setup, installation and use of this product was super simple and functional. The one caveat is that you do need to have a consistent wifi network connection. I pulled all the of the cameras out of the box, had them plugged in and connected to the Logi Circle app within 2 mins. Then the app notified me the software on both cameras was out of date. It then prompted me to download and update these, ( note you need to be close to the cameras within eye site for the updates to take place). Both Cameras updated within 2 mins and booted back online. Setting up and configuring the app took less than two minutes. Again easy to use and understand. I've had no issues with setup or installation. I really do believe many of the poor reviews of this product are people who have unrealistic expectations and or are not overly tech savvy. Connecting to Apple HomeKit. This was so easy and simple, I scanned the code on the info brochure that came inside the camera boxes, then home kit added the accessories as needed. I've no problems, it works great in the HomeKit app and I can configure automation like, at night if a motion is detected then turn on the outdoor lights and lock my front door if not locked. Overall this is great. Points to consider: If you have a yard with lots of trees or items or objects that move in the wind when windy, then you are going to get notifications for motion detected when it's windy. I've got palm trees and today it's windy so I've had a few notifications. The software and camera are doing their job in my view. I've yet to test. Mounting inside against the window was great. Make sure you choose a height and area that allows a good line of sight for the area you want to view. I had my window camera setup on the window frame initially and it wasn't great. I've now moved it to the top 2/3's of the window and I get a clear view of the yard.

Makes window mounting a snap.

Easy setup. Sticks to the window with included mounting tape. Installed on my window and works perfectly with my circle 2. Even with 90 degree mounting it gives perfect view of door and anyone approaching.

works

180° viewing angle, plus HomeKit support, makes this a unique product today. After 3 months outdoors, it's still working perfectly. Make sure you understand the subscription limitations before buying, some features cost extra. (I have not upgraded, and I'm happy with the included cloud service, but I don't need motion alerts).

This security camera setup is really great! I tested it up against the Arlo Pro ...

This security camera setup is really great! I tested it up against the Arlo Pro 2 at home for my office building to compare the two. After diving into the apps and utilizing them both for over a week, I am absolutely returning the Arlo. The quality and ease of setup was better with the Circle (although all things considered not TOO hard on the Arlo). The notifications from the Circle are so good. Granted they automatically put you on the CircleSafe plan so I may be hooked. The overall app experience was more pleasant with Circle. Launch the app and you're there. With Arlo, you launch the app, login (Face ID/Touch ID), then you "tap to go live". I just want to tap the notification and get the live feed as quickly as possible. For the quality, I think it's clear…just look at the attached photos

High quality 180 degree picture.

This is for the wired version of this product. I've had this camera for a little over 3 months now. The camera has only gone off maybe 3 times in 4 months and it's usually back within a minute. Only 1 time did I need to reboot it to get it back online. 1 time in 3 months is forgivable. The quality of the video is really good at 1080p running over 5GHz wireless. I wouldn't recommend trying this over 2.4 using your household access point that the family shares. I had a spare, older access point and I set that up on a different channel so that AP and channel are dedicated to the camera. the 180 degree camera makes a big difference in that I can basically get the entire front of my house into view with just 1 camera. If I had gone with a 140 I would likely have needed 2 cameras to cover the entire front porch/yard. The app is pretty good and I like the different options you can select based on distance. Events are labeled by color so I know right where to go. My only complaint about the app is that sometimes the push notifications are sometimes delayed a minute or so. I usually only get the notification after the person/s have already left but it's rare I need to see it live. After-the-fact is usually ok for my purposes.

Good extension cord, a little expensive but very nice

Good product. I used this to run power to my camera across my attic rafters. This extension is heavy duty and easy to use. I'm very happy with it. I've added pictures since no one else has yet, and I was curious how it worked before buying. The answer is that you connect the USB charger to the extension cord in place of the wall plug, and the whole assembly is sealed inside a plastic shell with a rubber gasket. I don't think it's water proof but it's definitely water resistant.

Had it for 4 Months

I decided to give it some time before writing a review on this product... Pros: 1. Not that difficult to install, I drilled a hole through the brick face on the front of my home... I did have to splice the cable which was the most difficult but it works great 2. Nightvision is awesome and works well. This is the fourth camera from different brands over the past 6 years, and it does a great job at night 3. Waterproof as indicated.... I gave it a bath just to give it a try and it took a hose directly to it with no issues... so it should be able to take anything mother nature should throw at it... 4. The viewing angle is awesome... far superior to anything else I have used... the view covers my entire front year... I needed two to achieve this in the past... 5. Lastly... and most importantly to me... this is indeed Homekit ready... I am totally in the Apple EcoSystem and this was very easy to add... I have read a few poor reviews on the integration but I have zero problems... Cons: 1. This is Wi-Fi Only... You need to ensure you have proper coverage... I updated my wifi to a mesh system which provided great coverage inside and more importantly, outside... This is a must... you have to have great wifi coverage outside... if you don't upgrade before you purchase this... 2. The wiring is fixed, meaning I cannot disconnect the wiring from the camera. This is a problem when you have to drill a hole through a wall as it needs to be much larger since you have USB connector.
