Logi Circle is now compatible with Google Home Hub. The updated version is called the Logitech Circle 2 and was released in 2019. Logitech’s compatibility with smart homes or Google Home Hub means you can set up your Logi circle camera to monitor your baby and stream the video on the Google Home Hub tablet. Logi Circle has been available for sale on Amazon since July 2017 but Google approved it in May 2019 as one of the security cameras that can integrate with Google Home. Logi Circle comes with all you need to get set up with your Home Kit.
Logitech Circle wins in design. It has a stable base that is attached to a long USB cord which allows you to mount it anywhere, the window or even an AC plug on the wall. The USB plug makes it a non-wireless camera-cum baby monitor.

Logitech Circle has a popular feature called day brief where it sends a summary of all clips that were recorded the whole day. Logitech can be mount on the window or on the electricity outlet/plug.
