The Roku Indoor Camera isn’t just another webcam—it’s part of Roku’s growing push into the smart home and IoT ecosystem. Best known for their media players and TVs, Roku is expanding its offerings with a range of smart devices, including indoor and outdoor cameras, plugs, and lighting options.
What’s in the Roku Indoor Camera?

This 1080p indoor camera is packed with features you’d expect from more established security brands. It includes night vision, motion detection, cloud storage options, and live view via the Roku Smart Home app—available for both iOS and Android. Inside the box, you’ll find the camera, a USB-C to USB-A power cable, a wall/ceiling mounting kit, and a standard 5V/1A adapter.
Setup
Setup is straightforward—but with one catch. Like many IoT devices, this camera only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, so users with a Wi-Fi 6 setup may need to create a guest network for compatibility. Once connected, the camera is managed through Roku’s dedicated smart home app, not the standard Roku app—so don’t get them confused.
Integration
Where things get cool is Roku’s tight integration between devices. You can view your Roku Indoor Camera directly from your Roku TV, which means you can check in on your living room, pets, or entryway without reaching for your phone. Just access the Roku Cameras app on your TV, and live feeds from your devices are front and center.
Even better, the camera supports automation. You can create rules based on motion detection, schedule when the camera turns on or off, and even trigger actions based on your location. Want the lights to turn on when the camera sees you walk in the door? It can do that. Paired with Roku’s other smart home products, it becomes a central piece of a low-cost, DIY home security system.
Storage and Cloud Options
While there’s no microSD slot for local storage, cloud-based features allow users to access video history, set alerts, and categorize events like pet movement.
Roku Indoor Camera Price
The Roku camera itself is $44 for 2 cameras. However, the cloud service has 2 price points – $3.99 per camera, or $9.99 for all cameras (with an annual fee of $99.99). At its price point, it’s a good choice for anyone already in the Roku ecosystem or looking to dip their toes into smart home tech without spending a fortune.
