What customers say
Customers purchasing the Logitech Circle View Doorbell and Camera Kit are primarily drawn to its seamless, privacy-focused integration with Apple HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV). When the system functions optimally, users praise the crystal-clear 1080p video quality, the expansive field of view, and the sleek, minimalist design that complements modern homes. The deep HKSV integration is often cited as a major differentiator, providing secure, end-to-end encrypted video storage without requiring a separate subscription from Logitech. However, sentiment is significantly tempered by recurring issues related to system stability and the complexity of the initial setup. A frequent complaint revolves around the doorbell unit specifically, which often requires specific wiring configurations and can be prone to dropping offline or experiencing significant latency when accessing live feeds through the Home app. While the camera unit generally performs more reliably, the overall experience is often marred by the inherent quirks of HKSV, leading to frustration when cameras intermittently fail to record or notify. Furthermore, the premium price point of the 2-pack kit leads many users to expect flawless performance, making the encountered technical glitches feel disproportionately disappointing. Ultimately, the sentiment suggests a highly polarized user base: those deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem who tolerate the occasional instability for the sake of privacy and integration, and those seeking simple, 'set-it-and-forget-it' reliability who find the setup and ongoing maintenance frustrating. The product is seen as having immense potential, but its execution is often hampered by software stability issues.
Know before you buy
No, the Logitech Circle View Doorbell is designed exclusively for the Apple HomeKit ecosystem. You will need an Apple device, such as an iPhone or iPad, to set up and manage the camera.
This doorbell is specifically designed as a wired replacement for an existing doorbell system. You must have a low-voltage transformer providing 8-24 V AC (10 VA or higher) already installed at your home to power the unit.
The 180-degree diagonal field of view provides a head-to-toe perspective of your doorway. This allows you to see packages left on the ground and visitors standing close to the door, minimizing blind spots compared to standard cameras.
The camera utilizes Apple HomeKit Secure Video, which requires a compatible iCloud+ plan to store and access your recorded footage. Without an iCloud+ plan, you can still view live video, but you will not have access to recorded clips.
The camera features enhanced infrared night vision that provides visibility up to 15 feet in the dark. It also includes color night vision capabilities, which help capture clearer details in low-light conditions.
The Circle View Doorbell is compatible with most existing wired indoor chimes. During installation, you will connect the provided chime kit to your internal chime box to ensure it rings properly when the doorbell button is pressed.
