It works really good. I like it. Since I got it I can check any time to see if someone getting close to my house and it gives me notifications all the time. It is really a nice product.
I LOVED the Roku camera and it’s what I recommended to anyone that was looking for cameras for their homes. I didn’t have the subscription because without it you could still get snapshot pictures of what triggered the motion detected alarm. With us being on an extremely tight budget that feature was unexplainably important because we can shell out extra money each month for a subscription. Roku has now changed that feature as of 3 days ago and now unless you’re watching the live feed you don’t receive any knowledge of what was happening in your cameras view. Extremely disappointing because I really did love the cameras for their price point and because they didn’t force you to get a subscription but now they are forcing you to
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I own six of these cameras and used to avidly recommend them to friends and family for easy to use and affordable home security. Unfortunately, as of July 16 2025 these cameras do not function for security without a subscription! Think HP printers but worse. If you are willing to pay monthly to keep them running then these may still be a good option for you. It is a shame to lose a previously great home security option. I used these to keep an eye on my kittens and loved the sound features, clear image, and time-stamped event images.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
