New Outdoor camera keeps failing

I installed an additional outdoor camera and now both of my outdoor cameras keep failing with a code 45. Up until I installed this new camera, none if my indoor or outdoor cameras were having this problem.

Re: New Outdoor camera keeps failing

Greetings, @Bgameboy.

Thanks for reaching us about the error code on the camera. Were here to help.

Here are the steps you can try:

  1. Verify Network Connection: Ensure your phone is connected to a reliable network, either mobile data or Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap "Reconnect": On the livestream screen, tap "Reconnect."
  3. Power Cycle the Camera:
    • Unplug the USB cable from the back of your camera.
    • Wait 30-60 seconds.
    • Plug the USB cable back into the power input port on your camera.

If the issue persists, please let us know.

Thanks,
Roku Community Team

Re: New Outdoor camera keeps failing

I've tried this multiple times. Occasionally it will work for a few minutes then quits. My first outdoor camera has been working fine for several weeks but just as soon as I installed this 2nd camera it has started getting the 45 code. The two outdoor cameras are about 20 feet apart. None of my 6 indoor or my video doorbell are having this problem.

Re: New Outdoor camera keeps failing

After spending over an hour resetting the camera, power on and off, rebooting my modem multiple times, it now has been stable for 24 hours.

Re: New Outdoor camera keeps failing

It didn't last long. Back to failing with code 45. Discouraging. No other cameras have this problem.

Re: New Outdoor camera keeps failing

It continues to fail. In failure mode more than active. Pretty much useless as far as depending on monitoring my back entrance/yard.

If roku is unable to fix this problem then I guess I need to cancel my subscription and replace my roku equipment with products from another company.
