Logitech’s Circle View Doorbell is safe … for now


The Circle View lineup represents two of just a handful of security cameras compatible with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video service. If they went away, it would be slim pickings for smart home users who like the security and privacy features of Apple’s video service.
Logitech’s new CEO, Hanneke Faber, was interviewed by The Verge’s Editor-in-Chief Nilay Patel on his Decoder podcast this week. She told him the company — which is known for its sprawling product categories (RIP Harmony) — was now focused on three areas: personal workspace, video conferencing, and gaming.
In response to a question about smart home doorbells, she said, “I think those are pretty much gone. … I need to double-check, but I’m not even sure those are still being sold.” You can see a video of the exchange on TikTok.
We double-checked for her, and Logitech’s Wendy Spander, Global Head of Communications, clarified to us that “The Circle View products are still in production, and we currently sell them (as do our retail partners). They have not been discontinued. They are in stock and ready to ship.” Both are available on Logitech’s website, confirming her statement.
Considering the last smart home product from Logitech launched more than three years ago (the Circle View Doorbell), and the new CEO clearly doesn’t consider smart home devices to be a crucial part of the company’s business — don’t hold your breath for a new model.
The good news is that Faber told Patel Logitech would continue to support all its products for some time. This presumably includes its Circle camera line-up, which was discontinued a few years back, along with the Circle View products that are still sold. The latter also work exclusively through the Apple Home app. So, you wouldn’t even have to rely on Logitech to maintain a separate app to keep using them.
