Smart home camera went off line last night

my Smart Home camera went off-line last night, and I have been unable to access it since.  I know there was some kind of systemwide problem. Is there anything I can do remotely as I am not near that camera and it is mounted?

@TMAC2

Thanks for the post.

At this time, we would recommend power cycling the Roku Smart Home camera to see if you are able to reconnect the camera.

Please keep us posted what you find out and we will be able to assist you further.


Thanks,
Danny

My Roku camera goes offline every single day. Every day I unplug it and plug it back in and it works for about 12 hours and goes offline again. I have a strong Internet connection and my phone and Wi-Fi box work fine I don’t know what the problem is.

Greetings @Jduffie01 

Welcome to the Roku Community and thanks for posting regarding your Roku Smart Home Camera.

Can you please clarify the issue you are experiencing? When you state the camera is going offline, is the Roku Smart Home Camera powering off, or is it disconnecting from your wireless network? How far is the camera from your wireless router?

With more detailed information, we will be more than happy to continue assisting you. We look forward to hearing back from you.


Thanks,
Danny

Thank you. It disconnected from the wireless network. It’s about six feet from the router.

Re: Smart home camera went off line last night

My indoor cameras continue to go offline. We have to unplug them and reset them almost daily. It is frustrating! I have the cameras to keep an eye on my epileptic dog. My one camera is maybe 4 feet from the router. The other one is 20 feet or so.  They both go offline randomly! I am beyond frustrated 😠

Re: Smart home camera went off line last night

I have the exact same issue! I did go to customer service and ask for help and after trying everything they told me to bring it back to Walmart and exchange it but Walmart doesn’t want to take it without the box so I guess I’m out money. 

Re: Smart home camera went off line last night

Same exact issue! DAILy!! Getting really tired of it and Roku offers no solutions!
