Roku Smart Home 4+

I love the cameras, but I wish the bitrate was higher. I also want to suggest a feature. I would like to rearrange my cameras when looking in the list of them. This way I can make them more sequential and less random. Making it easier and faster to select the camera I’m looking for or track something from camera to camera and room to room. The only option right now is to delete all my cameras and add them back in a specific order. If you ever want to add more you’ll have to do it again. For example I want my camera at the front door to be at the top, the one in the middle of the house in the middle, and the one at the back door at the end of the list. This way I know which camera I’m selecting just by it’s placement in the list.

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.

I was so excited to get the store now from Roku and its features to be integrated into the Roku TV and pop-up if the doorbell button was pushed… Got it set up only to find out that if I wanted to have it on multiple TVs with different accounts that was not gonna be a reality. The only solution they have available is to logon with the same accountant… That’s not gonna be realistic or acceptable for families that have different accounts and different play history channels, etc. I don’t to be logging onto my stuff and find out my play playlist has been changed deleted modified ect. Huge deal dealbreaker going to return if not fixed immediately. Also, the camera viewing app was not implemented as well as I thought it was going to be when the doorbell button is pushed a little window pops up and then you have to manually click it like this it was not like the ring or Google implementation, so much potential, but lack of implementation and follow through way too many apps to need to integrate it into want to be unified. I have to flip between Roku apps now just to watch things on TV… What the heck?
