I have the same issue. I can't even submit logs. I don't think they know how to solve it. I have been calling in since March. I was told to add a memory card and I just shook my head because then I knew they didn't know anything because the doorbell camera doesn't have a SD card slot. I have every permission on and still cant download, take pic or record from my video doorbell. And my sound doesn't work sometimes.
Hello! Cjohns910910,
Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!
We’re sorry to hear about the issue with your Roku Wireless Doorbell not recording videos or pictures, and we’re happy to help!
Please follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure your Roku Smart Home app and doorbell firmware are up to date.
- Check the Event Recording settings:
- Make sure Detects Motion and Detects Sound are turned on.
- Go to Doorbell Live Stream > Settings > Event Recording.
- Make sure there are no event recording schedules set. Toggle All Day ON if necessary.
- Adjust the detection sensitivity:
- Turn it up to 100 via Doorbell Live Stream > Settings > Detection Zone.
- If you get too many notifications, lower the sensitivity by 5-10 notches.
- Check for scheduled Rules that might affect event recordings:
- Tap the [...] in the Roku Smart Home app > Edit Rules.
- Verify if you’ve set any rules that could be affecting this.
- Test your WiFi connection:
- Check if other devices on the same network can access the internet.
- If not, reboot your router.
- Power cycle the doorbell:
- Flip the breaker switch for 10 seconds and turn it back on.
- Check your network connection and signal strength. If it’s below 3 bars, try moving the camera closer to the router.
- If needed, perform a factory reset:
- Press and hold the setup button on the doorbell until the status light turns solid yellow.
- Once it flashes again, set it up as a new device.
If the issue continues, contact your ISP to resolve network issues.
Please keep us updated on your progress, and we’ll be happy to help further if needed.
Thanks again,
The Roku Community Team

Thanks for your lengthy reply but I never said I couldn't get my camera to record anything. I said when I press the camera or record icon this message pops up
"Turn on access to your Storage to let Roku save videos and photos to your album".
I literally have all permission checked. I have had my internet provider send a tech out here and they said my service was find. I even got a new modem and router. You all told me it could be my phone, so, I got a new phone and the same problem is still happening and no agent can tell me or the rest of the community that has this same issue how to really solve it. I have emailed you pictures since I can not post them on here because it is more than 3mb
