I have six of these cameras, and they all freeze up, and then loose their connection to my ROKU ultra ultimate streaming player. These cameras provide a fleeting glimpse before freezing. Roku needs to re design this camera system, and should take the existing cameras off the shelves until it has a working system. It's a sad shame!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Rob, we appreciate your time for sharing. We'd like to help. If you haven't already, try moving your camera closer to your router for a limited time and lowering the traffic from other devices on your network. If the connection improves, it may be an indication that the router and camera need to be placed closer together. Additionally, please make sure that both the Roku Smart Home app and the camera are updated. If the issue persists, feel free to contact us at https://support.roku.com/contactus. In the meantime, we will ensure that this is shared with our product team. We hope this helps! Roku Customer Advocate
You'd think it would be a quick and easy setup. Wrong. I spent over an hour getting just one camera to fully connect; keep in mind that while it was giving me trouble connecting/updating, I was getting movement-detected notifications. But when I clicked on the notifications, I got the same error. After getting one fully connected and running, I tried setting up the second. I couldn't get past the update, and again, I was getting movement-detected notifications the entire time. I gave up and went about my tasks, and within 30 minutes, both cameras were offline and won't reconnect. I will be returning these and getting a different brand!

Absolute trash cameras.I deserve it. I knew better

I have bought a total of ten / twelve Roku cameras , two Roku TVs. They a Mediocre ant best, do not function at all at there worst. Lags incessantly, tells me I can’t view some.videos ( even though I’ve paid for a subscription for close to a couple of years). They will respond to this post telling me all the ways to reset or call customer service… believe me I’ve so many times every “solution” that’s been given. The whole point of security cameras is having peace of mind… instead Roku makes unreliable products and gives poor customer service l. It’s easy to get suckered into the low prices( clearly I have).. I would do anything to return all of their products if I could ..and use the money to buy from ANYONE OTHER COMPANY.. ps don’t give them as gifts as I did bc it’s embarrassing when they don’t work… thanks again Roku !!!

All of my Roku Smart home devices have slowly but surely failed. The quality of these products are surprisingly poor of long term. So my so that I'm no longer considering a Roku TV product.

Pretty annoying that I broke the cameras while I was trying to install it by barely tapping it on the fixture I was trying to install it and it just cracked the lens and now the lens funky colors & the picture is not good.
Crappy design. And the manufacturer knows it
