    Hi Kmamalakis,

    Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!

    I understand that you want your Roku Camera to detect the CO signal. I will be more than willing to provide you with further details about this.

    Please refer to the information provided by renojim above, which will help you better understand Roku Smart detection for CO. In addition, please ensure that you toggle the alarm detection on your Roku Smart Home app. Smart sound recognition uses an advanced algorithm that recognizes the sound patterns of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) monitors. When an alarm sound is detected, a 12-second event video is generated, and a push notification is sent by the smart home app.

    You can change smart sound recognition settings in the app.

    1. Select your camera from the Home screen
    2. Tap Settings in the corner
    3. Tap Alarm Settings
    4. Toggle the alarm settings on or off

    Note: If you have Detect Sound off, you can still use smart sound recognition to send a notification when the camera detects an alarm sound.

    For more details, you can visit our support article: How to set up and view recordings on your Roku Smart Home camera or video doorbell

    Please let us know if there's anything else we can access you with.

    Regards,
    Riamie

taelermcguire, Roku cameras don't have a CO or fire detector.  It has a microphone and can detect when your CO/fire detector goes off.

"...it can send you an alert the moment it hears a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm in your home."

    I’ve had my Roku camera in the den for over a year and it has never detected CO until tonight. I haven’t gotten one notification. My face has gotten red and my BP is up because it’s bull**bleep** if indeed, it cannot detect CO.
