Logitech® Circle 2 Wired
Searched quite awhile until we found this camera system. Taylor was very helpful in making certain that it met all our requirements. It installed easily and is working great!

The Logitech Circle 2 Wired camera is weather-resistant, so you can use it indoors or out.
The Logitech Circle 2 camera lets you see what's going on at home — from a quiet hour of homework at the kitchen table, to a 1 a.m. "what was that noise outside?" moment. It's weatherproof, offers a 180-degree field of view, and can see up to 15 feet away in the dark.
The Circle 2's Smart Location feature lets the camera know when you enter or leave the house. Motion detection lets you know when someone else enters the house, and Advanced Event Filtering lets you quickly find and replay important clips.
There's a microphone and speaker in the camera, so you can hold a conversation with family members at home while you're at work. If you want a quick recap of the day, the free app can assemble a 30-second time-lapse video for you.
Logitech's ingenious Plug Mount lets you plug the camera into any standard wall outlet in your home, so it becomes both a mount and a power source.
The Window Mount lets you attach the camera to the inside of a window, so you get a good view of who or what is on the other side of the glass. (In our experience, you will need a well-lit outdoor scene for nighttime use, because the window glass reflects infrared light back at the camera.)
Your video is stored in the cloud, with bank-level encryption to keep your files safe. Add a Circle Safe™ subscription plan to your camera to access more storage and features.

I have two already--and they work well. [ Jeffrey Apr 11, 2018 ]
I wanted to purchase the Logitech Circle camera but the circle 2 wasn't much more expensive, so I decided to go with it instead. [ William Oct 04, 2017 ]
You can use the Circle 2 without any subscriptions, however logitech includes an introductory premium subscription with advanced features for a short period of time, without the need to enter credit card info and then later unsubscribing from the service. The temp premium subscription allows you to have advanced functions, like creating zones to track movement, geo fencing so the device will know when you are away, so it can send you notifications of detected events when you are away. There's also more storage included. The cloud only stores events for one day, with the free version. The premium version gives you a month along with all of the advanced features. Look it up online for more details. [ William Nov 01, 2017 ]
