Is Smart home capable of PIP?

I am wondering if it is possible to PIP (Picture in Picture) a ROKU camera to a ONN Roku Smart TV? In order to view the camera at the front door, will you have to exit out of a currently viewed app and open a camera app? Before I buy the ROKU camera, I want to know if I can see the image from the cam in a small PIP window while watching a movie or TV show.

    Thanks for the inquiry.

    The Roku Smart Home doorbells do not offer Picture in Picture when viewed on a Roku TV.


    Thanks,
    Danny

    I selected Roku Smart Home Cameras and got rid of my other brand of cameras. One weakness I found is having to change back and forth between cameras. Most video camera systems allow you to split the screen and view more than one camera. Also, another ability to watch my Smart Home Cameras on a computer with an application. I fully understand that you may fear losing profit; however, you can charge for a "dongle" that prevents piracy and sell the dongle. Please consider.

    There is a pop up picture if someone rings the doorbell while your watching something else. but not for just motion.
