Given the articles/reviews about Apple HomeKit Secure Video based video doorbells, I was hesitant to give the Logitech Circle View a try. In fact, before buying the Logitech I did buy and install another Ring video doorbell. The Ring Pro was awful with no better latency or performance than the Ring v1 unit that it was replacing. Yes, the video was HD but the long delay to connect was worse than with the v1 doorbell. It's not an issue with respect to WiFI or network speed as the speedtest upload results for WiFi from the front door are:
• 608.27 Mbps upload with 4ms of latency
• 510.07 Mbps download
The Logitech Circle View is a dramatic improvement over the Ring v1 and also over the Ring Pro.
• Connection to the camera following an alert or someone ringing the doorbell is nearly immediate. It is also consistently reliable.
• Motion detection with the Circle View is so much more reliable than with Ring. I've read the opposite with articles claiming that the video based motion detection is unreliable.
• Recordings all start -- as they should -- right before the motion! With Ring, we were constantly getting recordings that would start well after the initial motion (recordings of people walking away) often completely missing what was relevant and valuable
• User interface with HomeKit is awesome and such a welcome relief vs. the bloat and "buy more stuff" interface that got completely out of control following the acquisition of Ring
• Ease of access to and sharing of recordings is Apple simple and reliable
I don't miss paying the $10 a month for access to the Ring recordings.
Absolutely perfect device for HomeKit users! However, a completa lack of thought went into the engineering of hardware design for installation instructions. Clearly these two departments do not speak with each other at Logitech and it shows. If you can get over the installation hump I recommend the doorbell.
Once installed however the device works marvelously with the Apple HomeKit software. Fast video loads, Apple TV clips when someone is at the door (my favorite) easy to subscribe on any apple device to iCloud service (only required for video recording, doorbell still works without subscription but streaming can only be done from home). I am actually excited to see what if anything Apple upgrade to HomeKit going forward now.
Let me start explaining my disappointment in the installation process by saying I am a DIYer homeowner and have worked in the construction field for a few years when attending college (years ago) and I have installed 6 nest doorbells, 4 rings & 10 normal doorbell installations. As for the installation for this Logitech doorbell I am very disappointed in the engineering/design department at Logitech for 2 major flaws (this explains the poor reviews).
First, Logitech decided to add 8 cables inside the ringer in addition to a small white box where other companies where able to accomplish the same with 3 cables and a small round disk that is about 1/4 of the size in volume. Is that the best Logitech engineering department could muster? The wiring instructions aren’t terrible (although it needs better visuals one can follow) but in order to follow along the steps it requires opening pop-ups. This would be fine if there wasn’t 4 steps then 4 more steps within the pop-ups and every time you close a pop-up it takes you back and you need to find your place on the website again for the step you were on. If that was hard to read it’s even harder to follow when working with so many unnecessary wires (8).
My second complaint looks like Logitech’s attempt at engendering that failed most likely do to cost savings on Logitech’s part. Of which I mean the cheep plastics black base that is wired to the home and is screwed to the wall. It took me 45 minutes after the install was supposedly complete to realize that when attaching the camera to the base one needs to install it from the bottom first then push the top in to hear a click. If this is not done properly (for example what I initially did was install the top then pushed the bottom in until it clicked)the cheep plastic base will warp slightly and prevent the power connectors in the back from fully engaging. Again this step was included in the instructions via a pop-up (very easy to miss and overlook for something so important based on the design of the base). This could easily be fixed by spending a few more cents on reinforcing the bracket, making it out of a thicker plastic or do what others have and make it out of aluminum! Or make the instructing bold and not in a pop-up where it can be easily missed!
Anyways I digress now that I have a working doorbell and am very happy with how it is working now. I will update after a few months of using it.
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.

Además de que si cuentas con la Apple One tienes la ventaja de tener las grabaciones por varios días en la nube.
Lo unico que no me gusto es que el cable usb es muy corto y dificulta la instalación.
