Customers regard the Circle 2 Indoor/Outdoor camera's image quality and ease of setup very positively, praising its sharp picture and simple installation process. However, concerns exist regarding battery life and the reliability of night vision and motion detection features. Some users also reported issues with the camera mount and the user interface of the accompanying app.
Without wires and compatible with HomeKit, I felt the Circle 2 was my best option. While the software interface is good, there are two issues that trump my overall experience with the Circle 2. First, battery life is relatively weak versus what is claimed on the packaging. Already recharged the battery a couple times and lowered sensitivity to extend battery life. Second, when removing the camera to charge the battery the screws in flexible mount sheared off within the thin, plastic screw holes. I can no longer use the outdoor mount after a couple week’s usage. What’s worse, I contacted Logitech and have not received an update regarding a replacement mount. If you can find a better outdoor mount, the Circle 2 may be a good option in low traffic areas. Otherwise, it should be used primarily indoors.

I really like these logitech outdoor security camera, picture quality is great, the only issue I've run into is they drop wifi connection often and I have a strong wifi signal where both cameras are installed. The night vision on these is very good, and you an see for atleast a good 150 ft. I installed power outlets in my attic to avoid recharging the batteries which is great. The logitech cam app takes longer than it should to connect to my two cameras. These can use either 2.4 or 5 ghz wifi signals. I found the included mount to be lacking so I used some other mounts I had laying around and spray painted them to better blend in with my siding color .

The Logi circle 2 is a very attractive indoor/ outdoor security IP camera that is very simple to be setup (in theory). Pros: - very attractive design, well made. - 100% wireless, can connect to wifi easily, has a battery that should last a few hours and can be charged using the 2amp micro usb charger and cable provided, or any other Micro usb charger. - free cloud storage for up to 24 hours, paid subscription for added storage also available. Cons: - lets start with setup, after connecting the camera to the network via the app, it tried to get the updates a couple of time and gave me the error loading updates, please reset your camera. this was a bit annoying but easily fixable. - the Logi circle 2 is not reliable, i kept it on the charging station to test it for a few hours during the day and it kept disconnecting and showing as offline, and it was not a home wifi issue because I do have other connecting wifi devices at home that were working and were able to receive instructions from me while the logi claimed that its offline. - even when it is online, it did skip 4 movement events during 4 hours. and they were events that are long, like my wife came back from work and opened the front door with Logi not noticing or recording at all, or even when my son came back home as well. but it was sending me notifications of events (when my cats were playing close to that same door). I tried adjusting the motion sensor with no results. the image quality in general is good, the 2 way microphone and speaker is also very nice and it works when the camera is not offline. also on paper the Logi 2 supports Alexa (not Siri, or Google home). finally, I assume that Logitech will eventually fix the software bugs, and the logi 2 might actually be useful by then. but right now, it falls short behind last year models from better name brands and cheaper prices.
