The Logi Circle Dropcam-Alike

Logitech announces the Logi Circle-- a Dropcam-style home monitoring camera and companion app combo customers can unplug to stream video from anywhere in the house for up to 3 hours.

Logi CircleA second product in the Logi line (after a set of iPad cases), the Circle is a small round camera the size of a tennis ball. It streams 720p video to the companion iOS/Android mobile device app, as well as 2-way audio feature (allows users to both listen and speak through the camera) and motion detection complete with app push notifications.

Logitech claims the motion detection uses "Scene Intuition" technology to learn the kinds of movement taking place in the home to ensure only important events are notified. It also provides "Day Briefs," essentially sped up 30-second summaries of the activity of the day eliminating the need to go through a timeline or load individual clips.

"Video surveillance is no longer just about security, it’s about staying connected with our homes and loved ones," the company claims. "Planned or unplanned, magic moments happen in our homes every day and we designed the Logi Circle as your destination for capturing and discovering them no matter where you are or what you’re doing."

The Logi Circle ships on October 2015.
