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.

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.
