How to Download/Share Events

Back again, so not only do my cameras still not record sound when I manually record an event, but was wondering how i would download an event to my phone or from the cloud to keep it permanently. I read online there’s suppose to be a share button to save it, however my app doesn’t reflect that at all.

      I do and it just continues to say download failed. And how about the cameras not recording sound when I manually record something? I’ve already sent in what ever to the tech people and never heard back.

        Thanks for your response Pauleyzach94

        We suggest you try downloading the event recordings on another mobile device to see if the same issue occurs.

        We have coordinated with our Roku appropriate team regarding the manual recording issue that isn't capturing sound, along with the device details you provided. Rest assured, we will update you once we have further information.

        Thank you for your understanding.
