Cameras & doorbells

[KnotsOut]

I'm trying to use my mobile Hotspot to have my Roku indoor camera work since it needs wifi connection to use. I have a roku streaming stick that can connect to my mobile hotspot so why isn't it working for my camera? Is it bc the HS is coming from my phone and I'm doing all this from the roku smart home app downloaded to my phone as well?

Hey @KnotsOut,

We get that you want to connect your Roku camera to a mobile hotspot. We're here to help clear things up for you.

Roku Smart Home cameras require a stable connection to a reliable internet service provider. Connecting them to a mobile hotspot is not recommended, as it can cause poor performance, such as lagging video feeds and connectivity issues. For optimal operation and a seamless experience, use a dedicated home internet service instead.

Thanks,
