No video of motion detection

At first I was getting video notifications when my indoor SE camera detected motion, a lot of them.  Now I get a notification but there is no video in the events.  It says no recordings go to camera settings.  I cant find a way to change it.  I have the monthly subscription but no SD card installed.  Why did it stop recording?

Mine is doing the same thing and I rebooted it and it still just takes pictures instead of a videoing now

Re: No video of motion detection

I am using the same issue with all 3 cameras, but it seems to be intermittent.  Sometimes I get a playback of the recording and other times I just get a still image.

Mine does this intermittently also.  I have found that if I restart the camera or turn my phone off and back on it will resume video.

I will try to restart all 3 cameras and see if that doesn't help.  If not, I will try restarting my phone.  If that doesn't work..lol  I guess I will need to see if those ID logs I sent will help them determine what is going on.

Same here - - still on trial subscription. One cam gives me pretty consistent video on motion trigger. The other is hit and miss, especially at night:  Though it indicates a motion trigger and recording of 13 or 14 seconds, it will not play back video, only one sill frame.

I noticed tonight the firmware reports (in error) that both have current firmware. Surely not, as there is a different firmware listed for each camera. Can't update either, as the message says, in error, that both are up to date.

Would love to get this fixed. This will be all or nothing:  I like the Roku cams, and willing to upgrade subscription and switch out my other cams to Roku, but not if it proves this intermittent.
