Difficult to use this camera outdoors
on January 8, 2023
Posted by: Out1
from Palm Coast, FL
Just received the battery version & tried to install. Since the base station must be WIRED to the router & the base station must be within 6 FEET of the camera, both the router & the base station need to be close to the outside wall. VERY LIMITING. Inside cameras connect directly to wifi & these should too. I do like my inside camera. Returning the outside camera.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, we appreciate your feedback and we'd like to help!
Your Roku Outdoor Camera only needs to be within 6 feet of the base station during setup and pairing. Once the camera and base station are synced, feel free to more your Outdoor Camera to your desired location—only needing to bring it closer to the base station location if you notice poor connectivity performance.
We'd also like to share that after you successfully set up your base station using a wired connection, you can switch it to a Wi-Fi connection, which will further increase the reach of your Outdoor Camera.
If there is anything we can assist you with along the way, please visit us online at https://support.roku.com/article/7869544173719 or support.roku.com/contactus so that we can help you directly.
Thank you for trying out our new product line and Welcome Home!

Great Camera, Bad UX
on October 21, 2022
Posted by: Extremely Technical Perso
from Boise,ID
Bought to replace cameras so i could view events on my roku devices. That was a total loss. Requires smart phone just like OEM product, sure you can watch it live and you get notifications, but if you want to look at past events, you are out of luck

Good camera, need a subscription to use it all
on January 23, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty nice security camera and the set up was easier than I expected, though it takes a couple of days to tweek all the options for each area so you don't get too many alerts. I do feel safer having it now, but the restrictions on features (especially using the ap) that requires a subscription to use all the options is really frustrating. Nobody needs another monthly fee right now and it feels sneaky that they put that in very small print on the box. Overall, I like the security and sense of peace it gives me, but not sure how long I'll keep paying a fee to use all the features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our other cameras will still support saving videos from motion without an ongoing subscription. This is trash to us now.
