Logitech Circle 2 gets Amazon Echo Show compatibility

Logitech recently unveiled the versatile Circle 2 -- its second-generation home surveillance camera. Unlike the first version of the cam, the newer variant can be used both indoors and outside. Plus, thanks to the many mounting options, you can position it in many different ways. It looks like a great product.

Today, the Circle 2 gets even more attractive thanks to an upcoming new feature. You see, the internet-connected camera is getting integration with the upcoming Echo Show -- Amazon's assistant device that features a display. This actually makes a lot of sense, as it transforms Amazon's screen-having device into a voice-controlled surveillance monitor.

"This new integration with Amazon Echo Show is in addition to the Amazon Alexa custom skill announced previously with our Circle 2 cameras. Simply setup the Logi Circle -- Live skill in your Amazon Alexa app with your Logi Circle account and you’re all set! Check on packages delivered to the front door or another part of your home from your Amazon Echo Show. Just ask Alexa and view your designated Circle 2 camera live stream quickly and hands-free," says Logitech.

Vincent Borel, director of new ventures at Logitech, explains, "Logitech Circle 2 helps you secure your entire home both indoors and outdoors. Adding Amazon Echo Show support enhances your home security experience by letting you quickly check in on what's happening with just a simple command."

Neither the Circle 2 nor the Echo Show are currently available, but both can be had soon. Amazon's product launches on June 28, while Logitech's offering arrives in July. If you own the first-generation Logitech Circle and feel left out, don't -- it too will be compatible with the Echo Show.
