The Circle 2 from Logitech is a simple-to-use smart security camera that makes it easy to monitor your home, so you can not only control everything in your home from your phone, you can see it all in action, too. There are lots of smart security cameras on the market these days, so read on to find out what makes the Logitech Circle 2 stand out from the crowd and learn how to enter for your chance to win a Logitech Circle 2 Combo Pack.

Security cameras are for more than just watching the front door

Security cameras used to be complicated, detailed, and laborious to install, with VCRs (remember those?), timers, sensors, and more. All of that has gotten much simpler with the rise of smart home devices and technologies, so that pretty much all you have to do these days is buy a smart security camera, set it up, turn it on, and you’re good to go.

Not that you can’t still find traditional security cameras—you definitely can, and they too have gotten much easier to use in recent years. But smart security cameras offer the kind of whole-home integration that we’ve come to expect with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT).

There are some obvious use cases for security cameras; For example, to monitor your front and back door, or to make sure that the kids are playing safely while you’re upstairs working. And these are all examples many people think of when they hear security camera. But the smart home introduces many new variables to think about.

For instance, what if you’re out of town and have programmed your smart lights to turn off and on at random times to make it look like someone is home? How can you be sure they’re doing that?

Well, with a smart security camera like the Logitech Circle 2, you can not only program your smart lights from your phone, you can also make sure they’re lighting up when they’re supposed to by looking at the feed from your Logitech Circle 2 (all on the same smartphone or tablet).

Or, what if you want to check in and see if the tomatoes growing in your smart garden are ripe, but you’re at work? Well, just log in to your phone and take a quick peek with your Logitech Circle 2.

As is probably evident from these examples, security cameras can do a lot more for you than the standard uses people tend to think of. The Logitech Circle 2 has some unique features that make it a great addition to your smart home setup, so read on to find out what those are.

  9. I would want to install this camera on both the front & back entrances of our house. Maybe get another one to check out what our dog is up to when we are away.

  13. There are 2 locations, both outside our home that I want covered by security cameras and they are Backyard and front yard. Every so often there is a rash of cars rifled through for change and other items in the neighbourhood and I have two dogs in the back yard that I like to monitor!

  14. A great idea, I leave in a rural area and would place camera near my front and back door for security. My home cannot be seen from the road and cameras would add a sense of protection.

  17. In my garden and front door. Would be nice to see who has been helping themselves to my fresh produce.

  39. We are planning to move from our condo into a townhome as we are growing. In a condo we have security cameras in the lobby and a few other areas In our buildings. It came to our realization that we won’t have that luxury anymore.

    We would put these in our future front porch and backyard.
