    Hi Dieringer,

    We get that the Roku Camera does not recognize your micro SD card. We're here to help.

    Let's see if this works for you:

    1. Make sure the Roku Smart Home app and camera firmware are up to date.
    2. Ensure that you're using the suggested size microSD card.
      > FAT-32 format that is 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB.
    3. Reformat the microSD card.
    4. Remove the microSD card, power cycle the camera, then reinsert the microSD card.
    5. Remove the microSD card, factory reset the camera, then reinsert the microSD card.
    6. Check to see if another device (e.g., another camera, computer, etc.) will recognize the microSD card.

    Hope this helps, and keep us posted.
