Logitech's weather-resistant Circle View camera offers a wide 180-degree field of view that makes it easy to keep an eye on large areas of your home — inside or out. The camera has glass optics and a high-quality image sensor with wide dynamic range, so you get crystal-clear HD footage in all kinds of light. And if there's no light at all, the camera still has you covered with infrared LEDs that allow it to see up to 15 feet away in the dark.
The Logitech Circle View has a modern, decor-friendly design.
Easy to set up
The camera was specially designed to work with Apple HomeKit, so there's no need to download any extra apps or create new login details. You simply plug the camera's tethered, 10-foot cable into the provided indoor USB power supply, open the Apple Home app on your iPhone® or iPad®, and scan the HomeKit code on your camera.
Secure to use
Your HomePod, iPad, or Apple TV acts as your HomeKit hub. Once footage is captured, your Apple device analyzes the video and then encrypts it locally before sending it to iCloud where it's securely stored.
There are also some comforting privacy features on the camera itself, including a button on the back that turns off video and audio capture. You can also shield yourself from view by tilting the camera face down.

Very nice cameras the fish eye view is nice. Only thing I can say that is negative is they go offline more than I want to see. They are not very far from my router.
