    Subscription needed for image events

    I have had three Roku cameras with sd cards in them for about two years now. They have always showed me the image of the event after getting the notification but just today (16 July 2025) it no longer always me to see the image. Do I have to have a subscription to see the image in the app?

    Two-step verification keeps turning on by itself

    I’ve turned the two-step verification off, but it keeps turning itself back on. I’ve talked to Roku in chat with no good answers so I called and was told to take a video in screenshots because they didn’t know that it’s a thing so I did. They told me they would get back to me in the email. I received the email late at night saying that the two-step verification has to be turned on. I emailed back and said then why does it give you an option to turn it off? I want my family to be able to see the cameras and I haven’t heard anything back from the company Now. I have to return all these cameras because there’s nowhere stating that. You have to have this on. And no one can get access unless I send them the code every time

    Roku indoor camera se wont record video motion events

    5 of my cameras with ver. 6.0.0 bild 32-fd work well. Two now from walmart with ver. 3.0.2.8391 will only record still event motions. I took the first cam with ver 3 back for a refund. I have let #2 with ver. 3 run a week now and despite trying to make it record motion events video it simply will not. Just a still which may or may not capture the motion. I too paid a year in advance for the cloud service. So today I'm returning #2 cam with the version 3 firmware. According to the cams in question their versions are "up to date". This is pretty dismal performance from roku support. No, after reading all previous reports, I really don't see a need to submit logs. The problem is that widespread that the fix certainly is on roku to remedy. Why don't they fix it? I wager all the walmarts with ver. 3 firmware cams are returning loads of cams to roku. Why so long with no resolution or any meaningful communication to users is a **bleep** way to be. What else to say but i'm not buying any more untill roku communicates with other than "fixes" that they have repeated several times and proven not to work. When fixed(if fixed) I will exppect my cloud subscription to be lengthened at least as long as my inconvinience.

    Indoor Camera not getting notifications

    I purchased this particular camera because it was advertised as not needing a subscription for basic notifications. Like everyone else, the system worked perfect for the first week (a little too perfect, but that's not a complaint). Once that free trial expired, crickets. I never got another notification again. I chatted with support twice, repeating the exact same steps and being told that my 2-week old camera may have been faulty. There are countless threads saying the exact same thing - the notifications worked during the free trial and stopped working when it ended. The last guy I chatted with, after all of the explanation and troubleshooting, asked me if I wanted to sign up for a paid subscription, since that was the only way it worked. if that was not a slap to the face, I don't know what it. I get that the camera was only like $25 at Walmart, but there needs to be a class action suit for false advertising. I've read horror stories of peoples homes being robbed, and nothing was captured/recorded and no notifications were sent. My apartment is being sold, so the landlord and realtor are constantly in and out of my apartment while I am at work. I also have severe anxiety, so trying to work while also trying to watch my camera feed live for an 8 hour shift is not how I planned to use this camera. I see that Roku "bots" post the same generic troubleshooting steps on these threads, but we all can't possibly have faulty brand new cameras. This needs fixed asap.

    No continuous recording options

    When I first realized that there is no options for continuous recording on the doorbell or the 360 cam it really didn't matter to me and I just figured out of site out of mind. Well, a few days ago a serious crime occurred in site line of both of my cameras. The authorities were ecstatic due to the fact I had two separate points of view for them. (One of which we were hoping would actually be following the suspect.) Unfortunately for them and for my personal ego, none of the actual crime was recorded do to the fact the camera stops recording no matter what at a certain time after it starts recording. Had there been an option to record continuously and I had it turned on, the authorities would not being having issues right now finding out who murdered the person in front of my house. I guess if you are rooting for the bad guy then you guys shouldn't change a thing, but if you are rooting for the victim of the senseless crime id consider adding an option for continuous recording..... Especially for those who pay for the subscription like myself. Just food for thought.
