Logitech Circle View Apple HomeKit- enabled Wired Doorbell with Logitech TrueView Video, Face Recognition, Color Night Vision, and Head-to-toe HD Video 72 Count (Pack of 1)

Upgrade From Netatmo Doorbell
Just installed the Logitech Doorbell today and after a lot of difficulty adding to Apple Home, I finally got it working.For those in the Apple Home ecosystem know how difficult it can be adding devices. Here is how I solved the issue. After numerous attempts, I finally went to the Wifi settings and turned off the Private Wifi feature and Limit IP Address tracking. This did not work. I then reset the doorbell and hard rebooted my iphone 13 pro. This also did not work. I removed the Linksys Mesh router from the Apple Home app and rebooted. Also did not work. Finally, I turned off the Apple Private Relay functionality, reset everything and was finally able to successfully connect the doorbell.The install was straightforward and followed the directions on the logitech site. After removing the Netatmo Doorbell (beta), which never really worked and for the last year has been just a basic doorbell with no connectivity, installing the new doorbell and then connecting the chime to my analog chime was pretty easy. I used the angled mount for the doorbell.To be fair, the Netatmo doorbell was beta hardware. I am assuming there have been improvements to the hardware, so my experience may not be with the current device.Once set up, I added an automation to turn on the lights at night. Realized I wasn’t getting notifications, which I then turned on in the Apple Home app. So far, the doorbell has been working well and notifications are flowing in.Will wait to see if anything changes and how the summer fairs with the reported overheating issues.

Picked this over Aqara G4 Doorbell – 2023
I decided to pick up this Logitech Circleview Doorbell for Homekit for one main reason: I wanted to get off the Ring Doorbell platform.Homekit Doorbells that are natively supported are few and far between. You have this one, one made by Wemo (belkin), and the new Aqara G4 Doorbell.Look up a few reviews on any of these and you’ll find the following as the main focuses for each:Logitech – It overheats (supposedly this has been fixed from the latest firmware…I picked this up in March before the heat from summer so I’m not sure how this will reflect on my purchase…fingers crossed)Wemo – Disconnects all the time (unreliable)Aqara – Has connection issues as of launch, and people are upset regarding the orientation of the camera (Orientation was the big reason I didn’t want this)The Logitech was very easy to install, the only issue I had was the screws provided in the kit for mounting were very easy to strip. In their defense it’s meant to be installed using the wall anchors, however since I had a previously installed smart doorbell I planned to simply screw back into the wood where the previous screw holes were made.The door chime in my kit doesn’t appear to make my actual chime go off…however I suspect that something is wrong with our chime and won’t blame Logitech for this. I’m pretty sure the previous owners of this house that installed the Ring did it incorrectly and swapped the Transformer wire and the Front doorbell wire at our chime….I had to swap these in order for the Logitech to actually be powered correctly. Initially I would ring the bell and the doorbell would start flashing a white light on the LED and lost connection. After switching the wires on the Chime Kit that come from the wall, it worked flawlessly.Initially the firmware wouldn’t update on the camera after installing it, but it pushed the update overnight and it’s now on the latest firmware. There was one disconnection and I’m assuming that disconnection was during the firmware update overnight. My wife did leave the house this morning and the doorbell didn’t pick up on her leaving somehow…but we suspect this has to do with it not seeing her face and we have the specific motions setting turned on so it probably just didn’t realize it was a person because of that.Overall we’re very happy with the responsiveness of the doorbell so far, and we likely won’t run into overheating issues until the summer gets here (hopefully we don’t have any issues though). The video Quality is better than what we had on the Ring Pro, and we love the fact it has a bright light for Color video at night. We have a milk delivery where the delivery guy shows up around 3am and our porch light isn’t always on when they show up (have an automation for it to be on when they typically arrive) Now we can set up an automation to turn it on if it detects motion for the delivery person (or intruder for that mater as a deterrent) but even if that fails, at least the cameras light will turn on when it see’s motion regardless.I wasn’t excited to drop $200 on this doorbell, but it’s nice knowing that I won’t have to drop $30 each year for basic functionality on the Ring, and I get better responsiveness and video quality now. Is this better than the Aqara G4 when it’s $80 less? I think it is because of the overall video quality and the orientation of the physical camera….I don’t regret my decision as of now, but if I run into issues I will surely come back and post my findings here.

Lo único que requiere la cámara es corriente eléctrica y completar su configuración desde la App Casa.Esta es la segunda cámara que adquiero por que estoy satisfecho con la calidad y precio que ofrece.

se deja de ver y funcionar!!
