across 5 reviews
3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Full 360-degree pan and 180-degree tilt with quiet motors and smooth motion tracking
  • Weatherproof design with ip65 rating allows outdoor installation
  • Color night vision delivers better low-light performance than earlier models
Reviewers push back
  • Short six-foot USB power cable with semi-proprietary plug limits placement options
  • Key AI detection features require ongoing subscription; free tier is stripped down
  • Only 1080p resolution at 20 frames per second in daytime, 15 at night
this is the only pan and tilt camera that I know of that has a 180° tilt

I bought this little camera over a year ago to monitor my handicapped cat while at work. He has since passed but now I use it between work and home to monitor my office cats' feeding station and elderly house cat. It has been a godsend and the performance cannot be beat for the price. The clarity is 100% and night vision is amazingly good even in complete darkness. I do not use or need the payment Terri · chewy.com

Brought both Logitech’s Circle View and Circle View Doorbell and am very happy. Switched from Ring Doorbell Pro because of the seamless integration with Apple HomeKit. Since I have an existing Apple account plan, there is no additional monthly subscription cost. This savings easily covers the cost of the Logitech Circle View Doorbell. Notifications can be controlled on all of my Apple devices, wit Shyronn S. · logitech.com
