The Circle 2, Logitech's second iteration of its Circle home security camera, is not a single camera but two separate models: the Circle 2 wired (about $180 at Amazon) and the Circle 2 wire-free (about $200 at Amazon). Both cameras are designed for indoor...

Logitech's Circle 2 has been available for a little while, but only recently did the company add HomeKit support to the Wired model —making it just one of two security cameras in the entire smarthome market with that integration. The results are reasonabl...

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...

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...

We've spent a few months with Logitech's flagship smart home security camera that gained support for HomeKit just last fall. After extensive usage, we have the verdict on one of the most popular HomeKit cams yet...

We used the Circle 2 camera for months, and have come to pretty well understand what has worked, and hasn't worked. Our biggest complaint is the HomeKit integration which can be unresponsive at times. It is hard to discern however if this fault lies with...
