This is my second set of home security cameras. When I discovered how expensive the cost for cloud recording was going to be for the first set, I decided to start looking for another. The Roku cameras have been perfect and I've retrieved data from them several times, so they are very easy to use and the cloud fee for data storage was half of what it was for the other cameras. I've been very pleased with the night vision which has helped me monitor the raccoons and possums on my porch.
I had no idea how much I needed these cameras! To be able to drop in on my animals or just check the house while I am away helps keep my mind at ease. The cameras were a gift. Extremely easy to set up and use. The video is so crisp and clear. Being able to capture video or snap a frame is great.
I love the picture and quality of this camera and I love love love the fact that you can have the app on the tv. But I have to other band of cameras both to which with an SD card you have playback with this camera I don’t see the point in the SD. Card you have to pay money every month to get notifications and other than that you can only view live feed. Sucks for anyone that has a low income and can’t afford the monthly charge.
Camera will not record any activity unless you pay for a subscription service. Even if you put your own SD card in the camera, it still will not record to the SD card unless you pay a fee it will only take one snapshot of whatever is happening if you want to do live view on your camera it is fine, good camera for that purpose, but I feel if I pay for my own SD card, then I should be able to record directly to that, without paying a fee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased 4 very disappointed in the sound quality, distortion in voice as well as background noises. Had wyze and was great but they tonow are having the same poor sound quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been extremely happy with our new Roku - Roku Indoor Camera SE. Easy installation, set it up in 5 minutes. Picture quality is great. Love the alert feature, especially if you're not at home, you will know if someone is in your home. You can capture still photos and so much more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great picture and amazing quality! It was so easy to set up! I feel very comfortable with it in my home and very at ease knowing I can check it anytime. Again, great picture quality, can’t say that enough!
