Indoor Camera not recording

I have had a Roku camera for months. Well yesterday I bought 2 more. And the 2 that I bought are not recording like they should. The one I have had for a while is still working fine, I just don't know why the new ones aren't recording. I have tried all of the "troubleshooting" suggestions and still nothing.

    I have 3 indoor Roku cameras that worked great a now that I moved will not connect. I was on the phone 2 hours and couldn’t solve my problem. Saying it was my Internet companies issue I called with my Internet company on a three-way call neither could solve the issue. My Wi-Fi provider made an Internet specifically for my cameras and everything else can connect so my Internet is not the issue. I have reset my camera reinstalled my application tried my applications on different devices and restarted my multiple times and my cameras still cannot connect. The only thing that connects my doorbell Roku camera. Very displeased and disappointed and frustrated I use these for the safety of my family and children and I cannot and no employee can help me. Not sure if I will continue being a Roku consumer.
