Logitech Circle 2 Wired Security Cameras Now Apple HomeKit Compatible

[Julio Urquidi]

Logitech updated its Circle 2 camera to work with Apple’s HomeKit smart home automation tech. Whether using a “Hey Siri” voice command or motion detected alerts, customers can now use the Home app and Circle 2 cameras to keep a remote eye on at home through thier iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.

Existing Logitech Circle 2 Wired customers can now update their Circle 2 cameras to get the newly integrated HomeKit feature, while those looking for a Circle 2 camera can find them at retailers for $179.95. Circle 2 window and plug mounts also work with HomeKit and retail for $39.95 and $29.95, respectively.

Now that Apple has finally officially a software HomeKit integration option in iOS 11 and dropped additional hardware requirements, I expect a lot of companies will finally really add HomeKit integration and not just say they will and then don't or ignore HomeKit altogether.
