The editors didn't like
While this camera can be used indoors or out
It relies on an adapter for power (rather than a rechargeable battery). Logitech does sell a wire-free Circle 2 camera separately for $200
Battery needs regular recharging
Swivel mount not ideal for outdoor use
Video signal prone to dropping out unless very close to router
Wired version is limited without accessories
Charging cable is a bit short
Pricing gets expensive when you add accessories on top
Even in the default 720p mode, Circle 2 has admirable video and audio quality. Wide 180-degree field-of-view, Plenty of notification filtering options, even in the free account. Good overview screen of multiple cameras, Looks nice, works both inside and o
The base is only a little heavier than the camera, so it's easy to tip over if you have it in a busy area, The 15-foot range might be too short for some outside areas, It only works in landscape mode, The video does have a prominent fisheye effect from th
This camera offers impressive image quality, a wide field-of-view, and slick design. The wide FOV is excellent, but there's more fisheye effect than you get with most cameras. It works both inside and outside, but I haven't had a chance to test the wirele...

Flexible selection of mounts, Weatherproofing for indoor or outdoor use, Wide angle lens, Useful daily summary video, 24hr video storage
No local storage option, Add-on mounts cost extra, Night vision illumination isn't as even as Nest
Logitech gets credit for the flexibility of the Circle 2. Not only is it IP65 weather-resistant, it manages that in a significantly smaller, lighter form-factor than the Nest Cam Outdoor. Logitech's free plan packs more storage than Nest's, though it's wo...

If you want an iPhone- or iPad-connected security camera and you're going the HomeKit route, the Circle 2 is easily the best choice at the moment. The only other HomeKit-compatible camera is the D-Link Omna 180 Cam HD, which records solely to microSD and...

1080p video recording, Two-way microphone/speaker, Cloud storage, Adjustable body, Night mode, HomeKit, Multiple mounts,
No local storage, Premium subscription is expensive at $9.99/month per camera, Features limited without subscription, No always-on recording option, Gaps in recording, Notification system is confusing
If you want a camera that's compatible with HomeKit, the Circle 2 is the camera to get. It's one of the only HomeKit-equipped cameras on the market right now, and it's better than the competition.Even without taking into account HomeKit, the Circle 2 is a...
Clean, intuitive software, Convenient filtering of alerts, Up to five activity zones that may be included or excluded from alerts, Effective person-detection, Support for Apple Home Kit
Person alerts and activity zones for only Premium cloud subscribers, Image quality only poor to fair, No scheduling, Push notifications only for iOS
Logitech has certainly put a lot more thought into this device than the company did with the original Circle camera. However, Logitech needs to improve image quality, add push notifications to its software, and give all users access to person detection an...
Motion detection accurately recognizes humans, Cutomizable motion zones allow for more accurate detection areas, Event and alert fiters help you manage notifications
Advanced features require premium cloud subscription
It's a little disappointing that you have to pay for a premium cloud subscription to take advantage of what are often standard features—other cameras like the Neatmo Presence and Honeywell Lyric C1 include motion zones and smart motion detection in the th...

Abstract: Accessible home monitoring should be more than just being able to buy a security camera. It means having a packaged software experience, where you should be able to link cameras over a secure cloud connection while mounting them on walls, glass or the out...
Customization features, Quality and build, Accessory ecosystem, Paid plans with great value
Not all accessories are compatible, Smart Alerts need refinement
Although this camera is not perfect, it gets to a level that is appreciably close to perfection. It has the most extensive accessory line on the market, to really help you to get your camera setup where you naturally want it to sit and aim. It has a tone...
Fast, easy setup, iPhone and Android smartphone apps, Video can be recorded with sound, Free 24 hour rolling cloud storage, 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi, Ability to save images and videos, Day Brief feature is a great way to review the day's motion events
Price, No motion sensitivity adjustment
A security camera can really give you some peace of mind, but there are so many to choose from. Do you want to see who is at your front door, or perhaps just spy on your pet? Most cameras can do those things - but the Circle 2 has some other cool features...
