Hi @broberts0624,

Thanks for keeping us posted on your concern!

We want to make sure that we can get this resolved as soon as possible. Have you tried performing a factory reset of the Roku Outdoor Camera SE, deleting it from the Roku Smart Home app, and setting it up again? You can also restart your network router and ensure that your Roku Outdoor Camera SE is not very far from the connection.

Also, we suggest connecting your Roku device to an alternative wireless network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you are still experiencing the same issue. If you see something different, can you please let us know what you are seeing?

We look forward to hearing from you and looking closely into this issue.

All the best,
Chel

I recently installed 2 indoor cameras. Same as others. I get no notifications. Did everything you suggested. And still no notifications. On my iPhone or iPad. I don’t have this issue with my doorbell  camera from another manufacturer. This “troubleshooting” was very time consuming and now I’m back where I started. You have to have other remedies. 
please, using these as security cameras. Getting no notifications is counter to their primary purpose.

I think it's a problem on their end. Mine haven't worked since Friday. I have 5 cameras and a paid subscription. All of them stopped working at the same time. No notification's, can't connect, etc.

I am having the same issue. I have two outdoor SE cameras. Neither one of them will send me notifications anymore. This has been going on for about a week now.

I have reset them, along with my android phone and my router. Still no notifications.

Ok, I am receiving notifications again. It took a few weeks after resetting everything. Not sure why they are working now. But it is nice to have them back the way they were when I installed them.
