Reviews around light (5.00 of 5)

  • As I've been waiting for a response I've realized that I can't turn off the LED light
  • It also includes LED lights that can be motion triggered
  • It works as a camera, but the light indicating whether it is on/off rarely works as intended.
  • I would not recommend this camera for anyone who has a baby that will be bothered by light (the LED light pretty much can light up her entire crib area) or wants to be able to hear anything in the video other than a loud and constant clicking noise all the time (baby would need to be screaming bloody murder for you to hear them above the clicking noise)
  • So this camera is pretty much useless at night unless you've got a constant source of bright light (like a security light)

Reviews around software (4.53 of 5)

  • Much better performance and software than the Samsung pan and tilt.
  • it did, but the performance did not improve as much as it should have.in the app, the video sometimes takes a minute to load up, even when i'm inside the house.again, DO NOT GET THIS CAMERA.
  • if Logitech can implement better software, I think it will have a winner on it's hands.
  • However, Logitech needs to invest into better software to be on par with Nest and Ring
  • The fine grain software to control for arming and disarming the camera is also pushed to it's limits in my use case.

Reviews around view (4.49 of 5)

  • The picture on 720p is a little blurry when viewing people and when I switch to 1080 it only gets slightly better.
  • Excellent camera, and a lot wider view than most of the
  • It gives me a great view of the front lawn and approach to the house.
  • But then I rotated the camera to a portrait orientation which gave me more of a useful view from this height
  • The video quality is excellent, very wide view, app is great on phone

Reviews around video (4.41 of 5)

  • Recorded video is only available for periods in which motion has been detected.
  • The Circle 2 is no slouch here, but the Arlo Q's video is definitely better.
  • Very good video, easy to install, however, motion detection is awful
  • The day brief works fine but to watch a specific time bubble the video still show the initial motion bit then skips the entire range recorded incident
  • Circle 2 by Logitech has a sleek and light design and it has a good video resolution and sturdy construction materials

Reviews around storage (4.03 of 5)

  • Overall still a better product for a better price then most out there (24 hours free recording storage is amazing).
  • Logitech gave me a free account and basic storage that only last for few days, then if you want a year unlimited storage is for $99 per year per camera
  • it did, but the performance did not improve as much as it should have.in the app, the video sometimes takes a minute to load up, even when i'm inside the house.again, DO NOT GET THIS CAMERA.
  • So it doesn't give you free cloud storage (past the 30 day free trial), but it does give you 24 hours worth with the ability to download recorded content.
  • I only wish it integrated with their alert system instead of having to purchase two cloud storage accounts but excellent camera regardless.

Reviews around product (3.93 of 5)

  • 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.
  • I think the camera itself is a good product, but Logitech customer service is terrible
  • They make good cameras, but I noticed on this one that the wiring is thinner and tangles a lot (older models have sturdier wires) so the slow march to cheaper product has begun.
  • After several months of usage, including five Circle 2 cameras at my house and two I installed at another house, I cannot recommend this product.
  • I bought one of these cameras for Homekit compatibility (it's pretty much the only game in town so far), but I'm afraid I have to downrate what might otherwise be a good product for a hellish setup issue with Homekit, and what I'd rate as a very poor response to my issue from Logitech

Reviews around app (3.89 of 5)

  • I have also noticed that the more cameras my system has, the slower the app is
  • The app is pretty good and the video quality of the camera is excellent.
  • (yikes)The mobile app works pretty well and the web interface is nice too
  • The app is inconsistent - sometimes it warns me right away about motion, other times it takes 2-6 minutes to send me a notification
  • The app is pretty good, and you can tinker with a lot of various settings to your preference.

Reviews around setup (3.77 of 5)

  • The setup succeeded this time though, and I have been using it successfully with Homekit for the last few weeks
  • Guess they are getting hit with a lot of traffic now and don't have the right infrastructure setup.
  • Mounted great to the window, and the setup in the app was smooth
  • I have a top of the line Netgear Router, 300 MB p/sec internet plan, and TWO top of the line NETGEAR wifi extenders
  • Just getting it setup was a royal pain as the home kit code is inscribed in the face and you have to get a magnifying glass out to read it, then hand enter it

Reviews around feature (3.55 of 5)

  • Not having the ability to black out areas for motion capture, and not having facial recognition (the main feature I wanted when I bought the camera) is a total drag
  • However, the Logitech time lapse is a much better feature than Ring, but the rest of the Ring software is much easier to use and customize
  • Super feature - "brief of the day".Overall - inability to add to
  • and I love the "Daily Brief" feature to review each day from each camera
  • IIThe Logitech Homekit integration has some strange features.

Reviews around fact (2.82 of 5)

  • That would completely negate the fact of why I got the window mount in the first place
  • it did, but the performance did not improve as much as it should have.in the app, the video sometimes takes a minute to load up, even when i'm inside the house.again, DO NOT GET THIS CAMERA.
  • I hate the fact that the DVR option (past 24 hours) is between $4-$10 a month, per camera
  • (Edit: 1/19/18)Lowering to 1-sttar and no longer recommended as they cancelled my subscription and managed to still auto-bill me for it two days later

Reviews around window mount (1.54 of 5)

  • The window mount was also extremely difficult to attach to the camera
  • First off my night vision does not work, I’ve read tech support and it’s a known issue that it’s got no nighttime support using the window mount
  • Further, the window mount did not improve the night vision of the camera
  • During the day, the system lets me know when my oak tree moves in the wind (to be fair, so does my Ring doorbell).All in all, it's an 'ok' system, but still quite a few bugs, and the window mount is very limited in usefulness
  • Window mount is extremely hard to install, a design fault that make the rubber hard to attached properly.2

Reviews around connection issue (1.00 of 5)

  • I'm not sure what all the firware updates do, but I'm hoping they fix the connection issues
  • My range is full bar, but both cameras still experience connection issues, randomly going offline, having to reset cameras over and over
  • Also switched to 2.4ghz, from the reviews i saw some users were having unstable connection issues on 5ghz band
  • So far no connection issues, the thing just runs reliably

Reviews around hiss (1.00 of 5)

  • ANDThe Circle 2 ALSO RECORDS THE LOUD HISS, but I can only see this history, online and in the app, at 11:30, when I came in.
  • Last night, I returned to my apartment at 11:30pm after a full day at work, to be greeted by a loud hissing sound and the smell of gas
  • I immediately ran out, called 911, and the fire department determined that my water heater had failed, with the burner in the water heater as the source for the gas, and the loud hiss coming from leaking water
