Features
- Exclusive Support of Apple HomeKit Secure Video: HomeKit Secure Video uses on-device intelligence to privately analyze the live feed of Circle View cameras and determine when a person, animal or vehicle is present before securely storing the recorded video in iCloud on supported plans. Camera recordings don’t count against your iCloud storage limit and you can view live and recorded video from your Circle View camera in the Apple Home app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
- Logitech TrueView™: The Circle View Camera features Logitech TrueView™ offering sharp video with full 1080P HD and 180-degree diagonal field-of-view glass optics. It has a high-quality sensor with wide dynamic range so you can see more detail in sunlight or shadows and includes infrared powered night vision optimized for full-field visibility and superior clarity in the dark up to 15ft away.
- Designed For Your Privacy: The camera offers Apple HomeKit and HomeKit Secure Video support for privacy features, including end-to-end encryption, on-device video analysis, automated recording, secure and private storage in iCloud and more. On top of this, the camera allows you to tilt it down for quick privacy or to manually disable the camera audio and video completely with the press of a button whenever desired – particularly useful when the camera is placed indoors.
- Crafted For Your Home: The Circle View Camera is thoughtfully designed with premium details like a metal base and a power cable that blends seamlessly with your space. The camera is simple to set up, can be placed on a shelf or wall-mounted with ease, and features a weatherproof body that’s built to withstand the elements.
