Very easy to setup and use. I have had several different wired and WIFI systems and this one is the easiest to find events thanks to the "Day Brief" feature - which basically generates a compressed summary of all the days events. I use this one to supplement a POE 4K systems to finds events much quicker. The Circle seems to also do smarter people and event detection than my wired 4K system. I did a lot of research on-line and also bought a couple other systems to do a trade study and found the Circle to be a great value.
Update - 10 months later. The unit completely died and would not show any signs of life. I checked the 5 VDC at the two mount pins, took off the white cover to better depress the reset button, and tried a different mount/power supply - no help. Emailed customer service and they responded within 24 hours. After providing the SN of the unit they shipped a new unit. A little dissatisfied that the unit died but the customer was very good. I was concerned after reading some of the one star reviews but my experience was very good. Now the issue is, do I buy more of these or go with a Ring or Nest. I'm leaning towards more of the Logi-circle as I like the app and the cloud cost is reasonable but concerned about how long they last. I have one in my house and it's not had any problems so possible it's a heat issue.

Wired camera is excellent in features, except premium features is too much for what you get.
Coming from zmodo 720p wifi cams and also Yi Dome cam 720p, BIG upgrade in features and quality.Did my research and considered many of the highly reviewed compact security cam systems: Arlo 2 Pro (maybe i should have gotten this? but I don't like recharging) , Ring cameras (actually bought 2 spotlight wired cams), netamo (read all the negative reviews and was enough for me to wait even though its features for the value is great), canary (same as the netamo).(premium subscription feature) 24+ hour storage. i only need 24 hours, so not really helpful for me.(premium subscription feature) Person detection filtering with snapshot notification works well for me.(premium sub feature) Motion zones works well.(premium sub feature) Day brief customizing. kinda cool, but not really needed to me.Currently the cost for 1 cam is 69/year, o r up to 5 cams for 179/year. It would only make sense to get this if you have 5 cameras to maximize savings. With that said, there are other companies offering pretty much the same features (person detection/motion zones) for a cheaper price (Amazon Cloud cam basic for up to 3 cameras is 70/year, or 5 cameras for 100/year).Why choose Circle 2 over the cloud cam? Only reasons I see at this moment: Free Day brief time lapse (pretty cool actually), outdoor rated, works on 5ghz band (mixed results in performance so switched to 2.4ghz), 180 degree lens (for me, big selling point for behind the window use).I bought the Ring Spotlight camera (wired), also the Ring alarm system. I plan to get their Ring Protect Plus plan for 10/mo which coves the alarm system and cameras. Owning both, I prefer Circle 2 motion detection playback log format of timestamps and color coding (and person icon for premium subscription) .I can only see someone with high assets in a higher crime area would want to subscribe to the premium features, but there are other companies offering cheaper subscriptions if those Circle 2 specific features I mentioned aren't needed in your situation.Also, there have been other reviewers saying it goes offline, mine actually did after 2 days. I had to unplug for about 10-15 minutes, and it worked as normal again. I have put a outlet timer to turn off for 15 minutes late in the night. Not sure if this is necessary, but hoping it prevents any offline issues. Also switched to 2.4ghz, from the reviews i saw some users were having unstable connection issues on 5ghz band.Now that I think about it, the subscription price should be lower for what they are offering. They should match Amazon cloud plan. Or at the least offer a 3 camera home premium plan for $100/year. I would totally get that. But once this trial is over I will see how long I can last on free mode.Side DIY tip: I hacked the camera packaging lid to use as a window mount. I'ts not easily removable since it's taped to the window and the camera. It's working for me. Just cut a hole in the plastic lens protector cap.UPDATE #1: HONEYMOON PHASE OVER (along with 15 day trial of premium subscription features). one unit failed on me, not sure why, unable to factory reset successfully. returned the other unused one due to lack of reliability. (My ring wired spotlight camera has not given me any issues yet).I have moved my Circle 2 from indoor window location to outdoor shaded location overlooking entire backyard and house. My plan was to stay on the free plan since there's not much high activity in the backyard. Unfortunately, the motion detected beyond 15-20 feet (house sliding door and windows are about 30-40 feet away from camera) does not register as the blue "high" activity, but as gray "low" activity. The problem is the plants moving register as gray bubbles so there would be a lot of false alarm smart alerts. At night, motion detection doesn't work well at all, even with external IR light. Although it did work well for detecting motion in a walkway at night (5-10 feet range). The only good thing is I am able to live stream a good view of the backyard at night.Two things that kept me from returning the unit. So far it's been working well. The activity log timeline scrolling is excellent (easy to see low vs high activity videos), day brief time lapse is really cool. Also claims to be outdoor rated out the box (not to be placed in any direct sunlight, mine will be shaded and away from rain and sun)Might be overkill, but I have my camera on a smartplug to turn it off for 15 minutes every night.

To install it, I used the optional window mount (see my review there). This allowed it to be inside in the air conditioning and out of the weather while still recording outside. I placed it where I could record the front yard. I set it up with Apple Home Kit using the tiny serial number etched on the outside of the camera, hidden beneath the housing. It synced easily to both Home Kit and the Logitech app. I recommend using the Logitech app, though, because it has extra features that the Home Kit can't compare to. For one, it records every time it senses motion, and you can look back through the day and see time stamps where it recorded something and play back that recording. Also, you can see a day summary, where it will fast-forward the day and show you all of the activity for the last day. I checked the day summary every night and was able to see my dogs and goat roaming about the yard the whole day, all in a <60-second review. It was sensitive enough to pick up my 10-pound Yorkie dog and at night it picked up the headlights of cars in the leaves of trees above my fence, but it never alerted me to anything less than that, such as movement in plants. It did alert me to lightning strikes in the frame, which was unnecessary, but not bothersome. Note that if you have an Apple Watch, it will take a screenshot of what it saw and preview it on your watch, so you don't even have to open your phone to see what the alert was about!
In the two weeks I was out of state on vacation, the camera never disconnected or had problems. I was always able to check it to see what my pets were up to and be reassured that the gate was still closed. I was able to check the 24-hour review every night. I am 100% satisfied with the camera itself, though I was less satisfied with the window mount due to it preventing me from using the night vision and microphone aspects of the camera. Overall, I highly recommend this Logitech Circle 2 camera to anyone who wants to monitor motion while away from home. 5/5 stars.

The last time I went on vacation, an outside person opened my gate and allowed my dogs to escape. One never returned and is presumed dead. In order to go on vacation again, I needed the peace of mind of knowing that no one was opening my gate, so I wanted a security camera to record the gate and notify me if anything moved. I did a lot of research, and what I found was that most companies charge an outrageous monthly fee to record motion. This Logitech Circle 2 camera comes with a free trial of service, but after the trial ends, you still get 24 hours of motion detection recording free.Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018
