Indoor camera wont zoom on my phone

Jump to solution

 I used to be able to zoom in with my indoor camera when viewing live but that is not working anymore. It says Live in  the upper right corner and a arrow in the bottom right corner that was not there before. The arrow does nothing. I also noticed the time when viewing live is in the 24 hour format. 

 I can  zoom in when looking at events but not when viewing live.  I've restarted the camera but it made no difference. 

What is causing this problem all of the sudden?

We have four CS1000X indoor cameras set to record events, but not to send notifications. The "TV settings for Roku Smart Home" page, as well as the Smart Home App on our Roku streaming device, show that I've turned off live streaming and all notifications for all four cameras. However, we still get frequent and annoying notifications on our TV of Person, Pet, or Package events. All I can do is snooze the stupid things for an hour. How do I get NO notifications of camera events to my TV?

I have  uninstalled app and reinstalled two times.  Reset all cameras and restarted phone multiple times.  Occasionally, I can pinch zoom live view but it is very rarely.  I know it's still a function because randomly it will let me.  Also, NEVER get logged  off but now get logged off my phone multiple times a day . ....sometimes in an hour.   Thank you for help resolving

After trying everything I could possibly do, I just gave up and had to turn off ALL monitoring. Now I don't get notifications.

Turning off Notifications in the Android Smart Home App didn't work.

Turning off Notifications in the Smart Home TV app didn't work.

Turning off Notifications in the Web Smart Home page didn't work.

Setting a Rule in the Android App to only engage limited monitoring for one minute each day - right before midnight - didn't work.

Also, the Smart Home Web View of my cameras still says "Camera is not supported on this browser", though that's a different complaint and posting.

Also, now I can't use finger gestures to zoom in and out in the Android App. Tried un-installing and re-installing Smart Home, but still no luck.

The only working feature left is that the cameras do, at least, show what's there. That's pretty Dumbed-Down from what they're supposed to do, and I have an annual subscription, too.

Roku Support and this forum have been of no help, so I'm thinking that Roku engineering is just very, very shoddy.

Will post this as a rating on Amazon to warn others away from Roku.
