Offers great peace of mind for my family

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with the quality of my Roku Outdoor Camera SE. This little camera is easy to set up and easy to use. Out of the box it comes with everything needed for set up. The outdoor camera easily connects to the charging base, via usb cable and the charging base connects to wifi via ethernet cable. The Roku Home app was easy to download, and the camera was easy to pair with the app. Mounting the camera was easy, it includes the two screws necessary to attach the camera base to where I wanted it mounted. The camera easily attaches magnetically to the base. This camera charges quickly and holds it's charge for a long time. Thanks to the app, I'm able to see what's going on outside of my home, even when I'm not there. The picture quality is crisp and clear, as is the sound on the two way audio. I love that it has night vision, so I can see what is going on even at night. It has motion detection and person detection, so it would be really hard to get passed this camera undetected. The camera is weatherproof, so I don't have to worry about bringing it inside during bad weather. When it's time to charge the camera again, it's easy to disconnect it from the magnetic base to charge and then hook back up. I highly recommend this awesome outdoor camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Roku Outdoor Camera SE is perfect for our home. I love how it has the Full HD video, motion detection and night vision on it. It works really well anytime of the day and night. I love the rechargeable battery that it came with, it lasts for a long time. It is also weatherproof as well, which makes it perfect for outdoor use. It has two-way audio, which makes it so much easier to communicate with outsiders as well. Over all this camera is perfect for our home. We love it.

Not worth the money
on August 20, 2023
Posted by: Ian Judd
from New Lisbon, WI.
Bought this to try to figure out what critters have been raiding the yard. WiFi reception is not very good so was hard to get it to connect where I wanted it. Then after probably only a month and a half the battery will not charge so it has to stay pugged in to even work, which for an outside camera is a real pain.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Ian, it's unusual to hear that your camera's battery will not hold a charge and we'd like to learn more. Please visit support.roku.com/contactus where you can connect with an agent who can help.
Thanks!

WARNING!*** Anyone Logged into Your TV Can Watch
on May 18, 2025
Posted by: Some Dude
from San Diego
WARNING! If you have an Airbnb with a Roku TV, that guest will be able to view your Roku camera/s.
Even with a PIN set your TV's will automatically get pop-up views of events that come across you cameras. This is VERY unsettling!

Hello Scott, thanks for raising this concern. We understand how unsettling that would feel, especially in a shared space like an Airbnb.
To clarify, the PIN on Roku devices only restricts purchases on your credit card — it doesn’t control access to Smart Home camera feeds. For short-term rentals, we strongly recommend enabling Guest Mode on all your Roku TVs to protect your personal accounts and settings during guest stays.
Additionally, Roku Smart Home camera feeds and alerts can be shown on Roku TVs or players only if they've been enabled. You can easily manage which Roku devices have access by visiting: my.roku.com/account/smart-home. Just uncheck “Camera feeds” on any device you don’t want to display footage, like the Airbnb TV!
We appreciate your feedback and hope these tips help ensure a more secure and private setup. If you need help adjusting any settings, our support team is always here to assist! Roku Customer Advocate

Garbage!
on November 27, 2025
Posted by: Justme3388
from Idaho
I got my outdoor Roku camera less than five months ago and it already died. Besides the fact they don't last long, they also lose the wifi connection constantly. You then have to get it down, bring it back to the hub, which is usually inside next to your router (not convenient), and manually reset it or re-sync it.....it's a joke.
You're better off spending money on a decent quality camera than you are saving money on this brand. Stick to TV, Roku.

Hi Jordan, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We want to assist you. Please ensure that both the Roku Smart Home app and the camera are updated. Position the camera closer to the WiFi access point and remove any obstacles or objects that may be blocking the signal. Start testing the connection close to the router and gradually move farther away to determine the true distance. If the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to our customer support team at https://support.roku.com/contactus for further assistance. We hope this helps! Roku Customer Advocate
