Do NOT purchase this camera. We just found out that you will not be able to watch motion captured videos from the SD card through the app without a separate subscription for EACH camera after the trial cloud service ends. You will only get a photo capture that you can see through the app. You are then forced to remove the SD card from the camera and insert into a PC or laptop to view the videos. This is NOT acceptable. I purchased four of these cameras as gifts for family and friends. The cameras are now unusable for them and I will be advising them to return the cameras.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Edward, we'll be sure to pass your feature requests along to the team and appreciate you sharing.
In the meantime, please know that Roku Smart Home cameras can be an excellent solution for many homes, even without a subscription package. You'll have 24/7 access to a live stream of each camera, plus you'll receive real-time photo alerts when motion or sound is triggered. You'll also enjoy smoke & CO notifications, customizable detection zones, a built in siren, clear two-way audio, and more.
Using the Roku Smart Home mobile app, you can supervise and secure your home from anywhere, without any additional costs. We hope this helps!
I bought this May 5th 2023. On the box it says needs wifi it wasn't until I opened it and tried connecting it can ONLY USE 2.4GHZ. So I called my internet provider had them switch it and it still will not connect to my "local network" I have loved roku devices until now. Money wasted! And the roku agents were no help either. At first I thought it's not the product it's the operator (myself) no it's the product.
This is the best product for the price available and better by far than most with a much higher pricetag I would strongly recommend getting these cameras and using them to everyone there high quality imaging and sound and the cloud and Roku smart home app is easy and efficient
I bought this a month ago and was impressed at first. The. 2 weeks in to owning it it stopped recording videos and now tells me I have to pay to record videos. Very poor timing for the screen shots it does take. Notifies me of movement and doesn’t snap a screen shot til 15 seconds after the notification. I should be able to record clips directly to the app for free. I mean you pay for the camera and you can’t see what is happening in your home? Half of the actions aren’t even screen shot. They come up a black box. I expected so much better from Roku.
