    For the Circle View, setup and control run through Apple’s Home app and HomeKit Secure Video, and many users find the NFC style onboarding, recording options, and automations straightforward and reliable day to day, while Logitech’s web based install flow also walks owners through wiring and voltage questions before they mount the doorbell, though some still report serious stability problems such as sporadic notifications or the doorbell dropping out of HomeKit that no firmware update has fully resolved.
