I have the same issue. After some research it appears that the Roku cameras will only send sporadic notifications once your 2 week trial is over. It may work a few days then stop working for a few weeks. I have not been able to find anyone who has been able to fix this. Really sucks because the main reason I bought my cameras was to know if someone entered my building while I was not there.
I am just wondering if you was able to find a solution to this? If so please update us. Thanks!
Hi @ibounceparty,
Thanks for reaching out to us here in the Roku community, and welcome!
We notice you're having the same problem with your Smart Home device and are unable to get event alerts, and we'd like to assist.
In certain circumstances, reinstalling the app might assist. Then, resetting it and ensuring that notifications are enabled in both the main menu of the Roku Smart Home app and the camera settings.
Please keep us posted on what you find out.
Thanks,

Same for me, what a waste of money. Just needed alerts for motion and get nothing since free trial over😡

what to do if all notifications on & its still not alerting or recording events
If you are here in June 2024, this is still an issue. I got my camera last year and the 1 week free trial was great. Once that trial ended, I never got a notification again, and my camera does not record anything. My landlord is selling my apartment building, so the realtor has been in the apartment several times. I work a full time job, and I also have severe anxiety, so I was hoping to get this **bleep** camera working, but no. I chatted with support twice, doing the same troubleshooting twice. I have the app on both my (brand new at the time) iPhone 15 and my iPad. Both were getting notifications. Both stopped at the same time. The rep insisted it was my issue, on both of my devices. The 2nd time I chatted, I told him there are a lot of online threads talking about how the notifications stop after the free trial ends, and he claimed he has never heard of this. He even asked if I wanted to pay for a subscription since it worked when I had a subscription. I asked him if he realizes that advertising that you do not need a paid subscription, only to find out you do indeed need a subscription, is false advertising and he didn't respond. I will chalk it up as false advertising, as I have yet to find a thread with a solution/fix.
I have a subscription and mine have been doing it to me for the past month n half. I have to go uninstall the app and reinstall it every single time and I get everything back but only lasts for maybe two days then repeat the process. Super annoying especially when I'm paying for said service. I'm bout ready to cancel it all, sell the god forsaken things and take my business elsewhere. This is absolutely ridiculous. I bought the two pack of cameras and one didn't work. Constantly will say connection timed out when you try to pair it. Very disappointed on this whole thing.
