Works great then goes downhill

I have 3 cameras. The first one I got for my kids room. It worked great. Then I went and got a 2 pack because I swore by them. Well a month or so later it's not so great. The live stream works for like 10 seconds then starts lagging really bad. I tried everything. From restarting the camera to restarting my wifi to deleting the camera and reinstalling it. Nothing is working. The live feed lagging is my main issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! Thank you for your efforts in trying to resolve the issue. We want to add some helpful tips. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Roku Smart Home app. Consider accessing the live stream using a different mobile device. Additionally, temporarily move the router and camera closer to each other to see if that makes a difference. If the issue persists, please contact our support team at https://support.roku.com/contactus for further assistance. We appreciate your feedback, and we hope these tips help! Roku Customer Advocate
I have used this camera outdoors despite it being an indoor camera. It has served me well for going on 3 years no without being taken off the house it has braved Northern New England winters no problem. I would buy another.
I bought 2 of these cameras over a year ago. One works fine and the other one works less than half the time. Another problem is I have to access one camera and my husband has to access the other. The cameras won't pair so we each cannot access both. This is a problem as we are not together all the time! The camera with the problem and the app do not work well together. The app has to be uninstalled and reinstalled several times a week. Notifications are not consistent. We tried several times to work out this problem with tech support. They were never helpful. I have always liked Roku. I have 4 of their streaming devices. The camera has been a disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, thanks for taking a moment to share. We’re sorry to hear that it didn’t work out but we appreciate your feedback nonetheless.

It's kinda ridiculous I have to pay a subscription after I already bought the camera and already pay for wifi.... this is a terrible deal and the camera quality sucks unless you have the subscription. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Hi there, thanks for taking a moment to share your thoughts. Please be advised that the subscription is for the premium features of the camera, such as video recording saved on the cloud. However, some basic features are accessible without a subscription. Check out the following article https://www.roku.com/products/smart-home/smart-home-subscription to see the different features available with and without a subscription. Alternatively, you can use a micro SD card that provides physical storage for your Roku Smart Home camera letting you back up your event recordings and capture your continuous, scheduled, and time-lapse recordings. More information is available at https://support.roku.com/article/7875140351383. We hope this helps! Roku Customer Advocate
Two months ago, I purchased this camera, which recently stopped working unexpectedly. Roku support initially told me that a new device would be sent to me, but I have since received an email requesting that I return the old camera at my own cost. The cameras frequently malfunction, and Roku's warranty and policies are unsatisfactory. I would not recommend this product or Roku's services. Roku's support teams response to my concern was inadequate, as they only provided a temporary solution to make the issue disappear instead of thoroughly addressing the problem with their product, which is not acceptable for a company.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. This certainly isn’t the experience we'd hope for you to have with our Smart Home lineup. While it’s common practice for customers to cover return shipping costs on warranty returns, we’re sorry to hear that your overall experience with customer support didn’t meet our standards. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll pass it along to the appropriate teams for future improvements. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help and ensure you have the best possible experience.
My mom bought these and one was malfunction had to return. I bought some and they were working fine.. Only a couple days after being set up one is not detecting any motions what so ever.. So right now if some walks by I won't know because it is not picking up on any motion.. I have reset it and moved it and nothing.. will not purchase any other roku items after this.. it has not even been a full two weeks of use..

Hi there, this doesn't sound right. It's clear that this isn't the standard we aim for, nor is it expected behavior for this camera. Have you had a chance to contact our customer support team? Please contact us directly at support.roku.com/contactus so that we can further assist. Your feedback is very important to us and we’re eager to assist. Thank you! Roku Customer Advocate
I hope this gets roku's attention so I can get some money back. The camera as far as video quality is great. However when I purchased it no where did it say that you can only view events in the app with a subscription, I found this out later from an e-mail and the trial expiring. If you do not subscribe and you place the micro sd card in it you have to take the card out and place it in your computer to see events. I know of 6 camera companies that allow you to off of the sd card with no subscription view recorded events that recoded to the sd card in the app, no need to remove the card or do anything special. I have tried to submit a request for a return and it keep saying something went wrong on our end try again. This was on my desktop computer and on my phone and on 3 different browsers and on does not have an ad blocker. I tried posting on facebook and no response. Three days of trying to return them and I am running out of time. Also I should have read the return policy before foolishly purchasing directly from roku as I have to pay the shipping to return them. Honestly I want to do 1 star, but the video quality was good.

Hi there, this is not the experience we aim for. We want to offer some valuable tips. If you haven't already, try plugging the camera into a different power source if the camera won't show any status light anymore. If the issue persists, please contact our technical support directly at https://support.roku.com/contactus.
We're looking forward to your better experience! Roku Customer Advocate
