Roku Smart Home indoor camera issue - error code 90

I bought 4 indoor cameras and installed a couple weeks ago. I'm nearing the end of my 14 day trial. I'm not sure I should pay for the subscription. These have been the biggest headache to keep working. To keep them connected I have to unplug them One or more times a day. I get error code 90 on the app. Am I the only one? Is it something to do with my setup?

    Yeah, same problem mine worked great the first couple of weeks until I paid a year subscription, now they wont stay on for more than a few hours at a time. I agree they are waste of money.

      Update. I was sent 1 new camera to replace 1 that completely quit working, but still had random disconnect issues. I understand loss of signal, but the devices not reconnecting with a reboot or reinstall was a hassle. After a couple more firmware updates, all is working as it should, and has been for a couple of months now. Time will tell, but finally for now, all is good with my 2 inside cameras and outside floodlight camera. Happy enough now Im thinking about adding a couple more.

  • Hello Roku?????????   Months after several of your customers reported the Code 90 and/or incessant Camera Reset issues... and still no resolution or attempts to satisfy your customers?????  I won't buy a single product from you and plan to post this across all social media platforms to deter future people from buying your products unless you resolve this immediately!  These cameras are garbage if they aren't reliable! Following the troubleshooting guides is a waste of time. It doesn't FIX the problem Roku!

  • I did that unplugging of the camera redownloading the app & it’s annoying it keeps saying offline & network failed…why does it do that I want to make sure my family is safe at home not get a offline failure response…& customer service just keeps giving me false answers I’m beginning to think purchasing this product was a bad idea

        Danny, you are useless. Months later and no result. No solution. I got cameras recently too and same error as all of these kind folks simply trying to protect their families through the use of your cameras. This is a major issue and I will personally ensure every single person I meet never spends a penny with Roku ever again if it cannot be fixed. It’s been months… ball is in your court, Danny

  • No you are not the only one I wake up early mornings to go to work sometimes & both indoor cameras are flashing blue meaning they have lost internet connection & are trying to pair up again. It is never just one it is both of them. Some tech assistance will ask if your cameras are located far away from the router. Again this makes no difference that is not what is causing the issue. One of my cameras is directly above the router & it still does it. I also have sparklight with 1 gig of internet speed which is connected to a device called eero. Now eero gives me WALL TO WALL WI-FI & they are still doing it. If you literally have to have your camera plugged into the modem / router to work then it defeats the object of being able to use the cameras in areas they are required. I am forever resetting my cameras that is also as soon as I turn them on. This assures me any movement will be recorded but approx 5 hours later while I am still away from home just to be safe I do another restart or after a certain period of time they will automatically not record even if they are connected. It is the device nothing more nothing less & as of right now I am not seeing any cure for it. There is only one firmware update & that is when you first set them up. There is literally no other help anyone can give there is just no cure for this issue right now.

        They don't have to do that thank you for the offer though John I know what questions will be asked & have I tried various steps & are my cameras close to my router so on & so forth. All steps have been tried at this end. The problem is located within two places.

        1)    The camera/s 

        2)   Roku cloud at Roku HQ itself.

      I've already done that. And I've called and talked to support. They constantly need reset and will maybe make it a few hours, one of them is really bad and won't even make it that long

        These are pure junk and this is the only answer is to factory reset??? I am having the exact same issue and have follow the troubleshooting guide numerous times… Are these really made to have to factory reset every two days? Mine is getting reset every other day due to connection error code 90..

         Actual answers would be great!!??
