Thanks for the no nonsense review. Accurate, thorough, no music in the background, and to the point. I had an email from roku advertising their new products and decided on a review. Blink bricked me so I'm happy to say my 2 pack will be here between 7 & 8...Thnaks. I will subscribe.
Thanks for the review! I'm switching from Amazon Blink cameras to Roku cameras. Amazon bricked my 3 nice cloud cams and replaced them with cheesy Blink cameras and now they want to charge me for a subscription! I will use the SD card option on my new Roku cams to record video if I need it. Also, I can view the cams on my Roku TV device which has replaced my Fire TV device. Win-win and Amazon has one less customer.
The night vision was exceptionally good . The micro SD option Is another solid extra. The audio recording isn’t a big deal since it’s purpose is to be a security measure.
Very nice this old lady figured it out herself ❤️❤️

Awesome!
Thanks. Informative. Will you be doing any other Roku camera product reviews? I’m interested in the outdoor wired floodlight. Since your review of this camera’s voice wasn’t so good, I was wondering about their other cameras. Thanks 😊
This video was very informative.the subscription and not subscription benefit. Was major.
I almost never listen to product reviews but I listened to yours and it was the most honest thorough informative and very fair and balanced review from top to bottom... I love the split screen showing you on one side and a close up of your phone on the other side as you we're setting up the app showing you exactly what you'll be looking at and what options you are selecting making it a very easy setup for a potential customer I'm going to go buy one tomorrow I work at Walmart and I've been thinking about getting one anyway but that review is the reason I'm reaching into my pocket and pulling out my money lol good job dude

I really was contemplating buying this because of the price makes it seem like it's crappie. But thanks for the review. Good job. I will be buying it because it does what i need it to do.

There is an Apple app as well called Roku Smart Home.
During my trial My events was recording videos & since signing up it takes just a still , I can’t figure out how to adjust that or why that happened ?
How much gb I need for the se card to make it usable
If the audio was the only bad thing I can live with that and I like being able to use an SD card too. You would be surprised how many cameras are cloud only and that sucks really. At least some of those ones give you a very limited but free cloud storage. Also more and more things are magically turning into subscriptions that never were or never had to be. That really sucks too because some of those things never had any mention of it on their packaging when they were originally purchased and that understandably infuriates and disappoints a lot of people.
Is possible to share camera with family?
Can you use Roku camera with out a Roku tv?
How do I record; it shuts off when I close the screen

Now do you need the subscription too use/keep footage on the SD card? Anyone knowledgeable on that subject here??

You need to explain there is no playback option in the app. To access the videos on the SD card. You have to pull the SD from the camera and view them on a computer. Wyze does have the playback option and you can playback videos recorded on the SD card with in the app. Roku forces you to buy the cloud service to view the videos within the app.

Considering these cameras are identical to Wyze, they are crap. I swapped most of my Wyze over to these so I could view them on my ROKU TV, yet I had an emergency today and found out they do not have any playback from continuous recording like the Wyze ones. So I am going to return all my Roku cameras. I was told by an anonymous employee they killed the playback option to force subscription use for faster event recording.

I'd love to buy one today. Can someone tell me if the way the non-subscription and subscription plans work similarly or exactly like Eufy's plans and cameras?
@JeremyHill
Жыл бұрын
The plans are different. Eufy's subscription lets you store your video files in the cloud. But their cameras also record detection videos to the camera without a subscription. Roku's camera subscription also stores videos in the cloud, but it will not record videos of motion detection without a subscription. You would need to put the SD card in your computer to view your footage instead.

@@JeremyHill Ok I ask because I have a Eufy camera. Although when I didn't have a subscription, I was still able to view my videos that were recorded to the SD card via the app. My understanding is that Roku does not allow this? If I understood correctly, one must be subscribed to the plan in order for the Roku camera to even record AND store a video file? Thank you for your response! I love your channel!!!!!

With the Roku camera, you can manually record videos from the live view and play it back in the app. However, you can't use the app to see 24/7 videos that are continuously recorded to the SD card.
