Modern, Stylish, Crisp HD Home Viewing, 18 Oct. 2015

The Circle camera has been an absolute nightmare to set up (well it was for us anyway) and both myself and my husband have spent nearly two hours trying to get it to work with multiple resets of the camera, troubleshooting on the Logitech website, uninstalling and re-installing the Logi Circle app, turning our hub on and off and leaving the camera to charge even more before re-trying everything over and over again. Despite all of this once working, the Circle is amazing, the picture quality is fantastic, it looks sleek, modern and just plain stylish and it is for these reasons that I am still marking the Circle with 5 Stars rather than deducting any stars for the terrible problems we have experienced with the set up.

This is quite a long review as I wanted to completely cover as much as I could and so I have broken the review down into sections to help in case anyone reading doesn't want to read the full review and just wishes to read the parts applicable to them...

Quick, easy setup. Brilliant pic and app. Mostly good but a few minor bad points, 19 Nov. 2015

Minutes to set up and use. All the instructions you need in the box. Brilliantly clear picture even in low light. Some reviewers are irritated that you can't fine tune some settings. Works well for me as a spy cam for conniving pets! I have an iPhone and pairing took seconds. Can't speak for Android though.

However, my camera has gone offline on 4 occasions since I bought it. That means that I have had to reset it using a pin. Doing that removes any set up you have done on it and any video recorded. The problem for me is I wanted the camera for when I go away to see and talk to my pets. Going offline is a problem only surmountable by being in the house and resetting the camera manually. Having looked on Logitech's website I see another person that has the problem and was offered solutions that I have tried. None worked. It's not a router or range problem.

I have bought another one to see if it has a problem with going offline as well. Will report how I get on...

Simple functionality, but easy to use, well made, and no subscription charges, 8 Nov. 2015

I was pondering getting a remote camera for some time. Having used this for a few weeks I have rapidly come to rely on it and now see it as a necessity.

The functionality offered by the camera is quite simple. Currently there are no advanced features such as setting up activation zones within the field of vision, or ability to switch the storage to another cloud operator. However, the camera does the basics well, is very easy to use, and there are no subscription costs for the Logi cloud storage where activity for the previous 24 hours is stored.

When you first open the elegant packaging box you will probably be concerned by the lack of instructions. Other than instructions to download the app, and a diagram showing how to take the camera apart, there is little else. I was concerned by this, but I am pleased to say that the app guided me through setting up the camera quite painlessly. The camera connected to my wireless network first time, and has performed...
