Logitech Circle 2 combo Pack, two HomeKit compatible security cameras

When we talk about Logitech we have to keep in mind several things and one of them is that they are focusing correctly on the manufacture of HomeKit compatible devices. The firm is implementing in a great way its devices with this home automation option for Apple users.

Logitech Circle 2 security cameras include two cameras and the accessory to place one of them in a window, it is a perfect surveillance complement for our home, business or similar. It also allows you to see, listen and interact from anywhere thanks to the firm's own application (Logi Circle) or using HomeKit from our Mac, iPhone or iPad.

Of course, for users who do not have a Mac or iOS device, they can also use this Circle from Logitech thanks to the app available for Android and obviously with Amazon Alexa. But in our case we are going to enjoy the advantages of HomeKit in a great surveillance camera that records in 1080p, with a 180º wide angle and that we can also use indoors or outdoors without problem since it is resistant to water, wind, dust and else.

Contents of the Logitech Circle 2 combo Pack

In this case, everything we need comes in the box of this Logitech Circle 2 combo Pack with the two cameras with cable, mounting accessories and the accessory to place one of these cameras on a glass. Undoubtedly the presentation of the product is already surprising and is that The boxes are numbered so that we start by parts and removing all the devices in order.

In the box of this pack we find the two cameras, each one with its current adapters for the wall in Europe and the United Kingdom, the screws to hang the camera on any wall and the connector to the wall (in this case they are with cable) plus an accessory to place the camera directly on glass that has a silicone-like part that leaves no stain on windows when disassembledIn addition to adding a couple of new strips in case the camera ever comes loose over the years.

We have to say that the pack is really complete and is a very good option for those who want to cover the place from a couple of places. We can find more details of the camera in the Logitech website directly.

The design of the Circle 2 is a point to consider

Without a doubt, we do not want the camera to be like those of yesteryear and the designs in this type of camera have improved a lot. Logitech is committed to a simple but effective design that allows the camera to be placed directly on top of a piece of furniture without looking aesthetically ugly. We can place this camera on a wall or on the door of the house without it being too striking and therefore it is something interesting to go more or less unnoticed.

When the camera is active it has a ring of light that surrounds the lens so at all times you can see that it is active. This light changes the moment you start watching what happens in front of it from HomeKit, so it will go from being white to green and in this way we will know that it is broadcasting or recording live.

Camera Specifications

The main specifications of these cameras are that they have a motion sensor that will notify the user in case we have active notifications in HomeKit, it has night vision for the night (which marks us with a red LED at the top), it has a 180º wide angle lens that allows you to see much more space and is Resistant to weather both rain and sun or dust and offers video in FullHD 1080p quality.

Obviously, since you need a plug, the camera cable has to be quite long and in this case we have more than two meters of cable to be able to connect the camera without problem. The port it uses is a USB A and having it directly connected can be a bit tricky when channeling the cable by the thickness of this port. In any case, it is not a problem that they do not have other types of similar cameras.

On the other hand the Circle 2 has a built-in microphone and speaker that allows communication in both directions and we will be able to talk to people who are in front of the camera quietly from our Mac anywhere. This is a great thing in these Circle 2 from Logitech.

Logitech Circle Installation and Operation

The camera can be activated and deactivated from HomeKit in a simple way using the codes that come in each one of them (in the instruction book on the back) and the truth is that with HomeKit it is a marvel since we can even see live what happens in front of the camera at all times. If we prefer, it can also be viewed in delayed mode thanks to the Logitech cloud. The camera does not have a slot for microSD or similar, so if we want to record we will have to use the signature storage.

Installation is simple and we simply have to connect the camera to the socket and use our iPhone to link it with HomeKit. We open the Home app and follow the usual steps for this type of compatible accessories then We will have it active on the Mac and the rest of the devices on our account. Once synchronized we can see in the House app itself what the camera emits and by clicking on the image we will be able to listen and interact with its microphone.

It really is very simple and they also add their own Logi Circle app to implement the data from the Circle Safe cloud, but this has a subscription fee. You will find the information directly in the app or at logi.com/circle2
