1. 4/5Great Features & Easy User Interface

   This a great interface to control & manage a wide variety of smart home products that you may have regardless of your location at the time from color changing light bulbs, smart locks, smoke sensors, cameras & much much more. This will let you set each name up individually while giving you the extra controls on each one individually. The programs will let you group items together and set them up under an “umbrella” name for example you have 2 color changing bulbs, 1 regular smart bulb, 3 outlets, 2 cameras, and a window sensor that are in the office so you can set them under office. While this even allows you to set up routines with different individual devices (like setting a smart outlet to come on and go off at certain times without you doing anything manually) you can also set up routines for the umbrella name like your office to go off schedules even multiple routines for same umbrella area. The app is easy to use and set up. The products themselves are very easy to setup, maintain, and monitor. The only reason I’m giving this four stars and not five is because we have one color change bulb in the master bedroom (among other products including another color changing bulb) and we have one that goes offline constantly and no it’s not the light or socket etc because I’ve moved that particular one around and it does it anywhere I put it while it’s originally located works just fine with other color changing bulbs. Yes I understand it’s probably just a defective one because I enjoy their products and people will say just return it well it’s too late to return and honestly I shouldn’t have too. When I go to replace some of my devices because I try to rotate out when I purchase new devices like the bulbs, sensors etc then I will chance my rating from a four star to a five star as long as none of them present any irregular or defective features and/or activity. Yes I do recommend!

2. 2/5Indoor/Outdoor Security Cameras

   The security cameras are trash! The app doesn’t even provide video playback recordings for the full trial period. The app freezes when trying to review notifications of motion causing me to have to leave the app and re-enter it to view playbacks. The only thing I’m getting are grainy still shots of the motion now, no video before trial period ended! One of the cameras quit working momentarily because the power cord had gotten too hot a few days after purchasing and set up. It wouldn’t allow me to view any recordings or live video. I had to call out of state and ask the individual in the home where it’s set up to unplug it and plug back in which is when I was told the cord was running hot. Imagine if no human had been there to unplug it!??! I don’t see myself purchasing any monthly plan because the recording is not reliable. The only thing is reliable are motion notifications even if it’s just lights and live streaming in which the latter is reliable when it feels like app making a connection to the cameras. The audio is pretty clear, that’s about all that’s really good and the picture quality in live mode isn’t too bad, again once it gets a good connection in which the home has fiber optic internet. I’ve used all the wireless security camera brands such as Eufy and Wyze over the years and wouldn’t recommend this brand of so-called “security” cameras. It’s cheap garbage and a good waste of money! I’d return them if they weren’t set up in another state!

3. 3/5Basic Security Feature Missing: No Household Sharing?

   I am extremely disappointed with the Roku Smart Home app. I purchased Roku cameras expecting a modern smart home experience, but it is missing the most fundamental feature offered by almost every other competitor (like Wyze, Nest, or Ring): the ability to share device access with other family members. Currently, there is no "Invite Guest" or "Home Member" feature. This means that if I want my boyfriend to be able to check the cameras on his own phone, I am forced to give him my primary Roku account email and password. This is an unacceptable security risk. Not only does it expose my billing information and TV account settings, but the app isn't even designed to handle multiple people logged into the same account simultaneously, leading to frequent log-outs and connection errors. It is ridiculous that in 2026, a "Smart Home" app requires you to share your master login just so a partner or roommate can see a doorbell notification. This makes the system nearly useless for multi-person households. The hardware is decent, but the software is years behind the industry standard. Roku, please prioritize a "Shared Access" feature immediately. Until then, I cannot recommend these cameras to anyone who doesn’t live alone.

4. 2/5Try a different brand/ unsatisfied

   I purchased the Roku cameras and app close to a year ago. I wanted them to keep track of my pets and for security reasons. When I purchased them and set them up the app would capture “events” and clip a short video of said “event” that I could look back at later. A couple months ago I realized that my app no longer captured video clips of events and now would only give you a picture clip of the “event” which isn't very useful since you can't see what's going on. A couple weeks pass and then I realized that now Roku does not even capture a picture clip of the event, instead it will only send you a notification of activity (that is only if you notifications active). - Now in order to get video clips or photos of what happened you will have to subscribe and pay a monthly fee for it. Roku never notified anyone about this change and ai find it to be very unprofessional. - Roku cameras to me seem completely useless now because if I don't have time to check the app right away I will have no clue what happened or what the event was, therefor if you want to use these cameras for security they will be useless unless you want to sign up for their subscription. In conclusion unless you are comfortable paying a monthly subscription I would not recommend.

5. 3/5Motion events audio not synced with video

   Every time I download a recent event video from my ROKU 360 camera, the audio is like 3 seconds behind. It’s very annoying putting the footage in iMovie (any video editor) just to sync the audio, then exporting the fixed version to my cloud. What if I have to recover a dozen video clips all because the motion detection stops seconds short before more motion detection was read? Now I have to download the next video clip and another 10 more all in total to equal only 4 minutes of video all of which have out of sync audio that needs to be fixed simultaneously? I said that like I once did it before… and I did! Really annoying, especially if there’s almost nothing to help sync. The audio is synced when you record from your phone, but what are your chances of looking through the camera and finding suspicious activity in your neighborhood at 4 in the morning on a work night? It annoys me to think that this feels like a simple fix, yet somehow feels like you’re trying to defuse a bomb by cutting one of the 3 wires. I know I made this review feel like a 1-star criticism, but the camera are very helpful at its job, but the synchronization shouldn’t be my problem.

   the Roku cameras suck. every time I try to install it it doesn't give a option for the battery camera. all it says is to charge camera.

4. 1/5

   we have had our cameras for 6 years, pay the $9.99 a month and often have a few problems but nothing bad, it just takes a lot of time to fix it. now after the last two updates my cameras are off. I've rebooted by unplugging, I've checked the internet. it's fine and I have also uninstalled the app and reinstalled. I have no monitoring. the power went out during the storm the other night and since then my cameras have not worked. after all the above was completed. if you push the restart button 👎

5. 4/5

   I like this app but it does freeze a lot for live view, even with my tarabyte internet. I wish there was a setting that made all the cameras record the second that one of them is set off, that way it would give multiple angles of things that are slightly out of view to trigger another camera but it'd have sound and another angle
