Doorbell won't record video, only images

All of a sudden, the doorbell will only record images and won't record video. If I go I to the live camera and connect it, it will stay online briefly, but then go right back to taking images only only and not recording video. Everything was fine up until 2 days ago. We have checked the settings, they are all set up as they should be. What could be causing this? This has become quite unuseful if I can't get it to record any longer. Thank you!

Thanks for the post.

Do you have a subscription attached to your Roku Smart Home doorbell? If you had a free trial linked to that Roku Smart Home device, it's possible that the trial may have ended.

Please keep us posted and we will be able to assist you further.


Thanks,
Danny

Yes, we have a subscription for the doorbell and an outdoor camera as well, which so far has not been having issues recording video like the doorbell is. It has all been working fine up until the other day, now we only get pictures. Appreciate any thoughts you might have. None of the settings have changed, and another check shows that it is marked to do record, but just wont.

Adding, the last time the doorbell recorded was Friday, November 4, so we are now on day 4 of only getting random pictures, which is not remotely helpful.
