thumbnail containing live feed?

Jump to solution

I've noticed on my events page that occasionally my indoor camera SE will produce a thumbnail that has  "Live" highlighted in red. It is not the current live feed though. What does this mean? I thought it was when I pressed record while viewing the live feed, but there have been a few pop up now of events I did not record. What is it doing? Have I been hacked or something?

We appreciate you for reaching out to the Roku Community, @cristyj!

We'd be more than happy to further assist you with your concern.

Please be aware that the "Live" thumbnail you see on your events recordings is actually there because it was recorded live. In addition, the events you did not record are also there because your camera detected a motion even if you did not press the record button. Whenever your camera detects any motions surrounding your camera, it automatically records. 

Hope this clears everything out. Let us know if you have further clarification. 

Kind regards,
Carly

No. As I said. I had a thumbnail containing the red live feed indicator. I was asleep. I am the only person with access. It may have recorded a motion event, me breathing maybe, but I certainly wasn't viewing or recording anything.
