About Roku Indoor Camera SE Guide Android App

Keep an eye on any room of your home
You can’t be in every room in your house (that tech doesn’t exist—yet). Roku Indoor Camera SE is your eyes and ears when you’re not around. With motion and sound detection, HD streaming to your Roku Smart Home mobile app or Roku TV™ or Player, plus clear two-way audio, you can supervise your home from anywhere.
Catch the colorful details
See an entire area with 1080p HD picture in full color—even at night—right in the Roku Smart Home mobile app or your Roku TV™ or Player.

Customizable detection
Avoid notification overload. Set specific motion detection zones for your camera to minimize false alerts and only give you the notifications you want.

Motion & sound detection
Get an alert within seconds of your camera detecting motion or sound. Smart sensors detect body heat, so you don’t get false alerts for curtains blowing in the wind.

Your TV is mission control
No, no—don’t get up. Pull up your camera’s feed on your Roku TV™ or Player by simply pressing a button on your remote or using Roku Voice. Just say, "Hey Roku, show me the living room."

The Roku Indoor Camera SE is an inexpensive way to keep an eye on any room of your home. While it was created in partnership with Wyze and bears more than a striking resemblance to the Wyze Cam V3, the fact that you can stream a live video feed on any Roku streaming device or Roku TV helps it stand out. Still though, many of the Roku Indoor Camera SE’s best features like person and pet detection as well as cloud recording are locked behind a monthly subscription.

Our Roku Indoor Camera SE review will help you decide if this is one of the best home security cameras and whether or not it’s worth picking up if you aren’t already heavily invested in Roku’s ecosystem.

Roku Indoor Camera SE: Price and availability
The Roku Indoor Camera SE costs $26.99, though you can also purchase a two-pack for $49.99 on Roku’s website. If you’d rather pick up one of Roku’s security cameras at a retail store, Walmart is your only option as they have an exclusivity deal with the streaming giant.

Roku also offers an optional Smart Home Subscription for its security cameras. It costs $4 per month per camera or $40 for the year for each camera though there’s also a Plus tier that can cover multiple cameras for $10 per month or $100 for the year. Unfortunately, a lot of the best features of Roku’s cameras are unavailable without a subscription but more on that later.

Roku Indoor Camera SE: Design and installation
If the Roku Indoor Camera SE looks familiar, that’s because it’s based on the Wyze Cam V3, as the company partnered with Wyze to develop its new smart home devices.

Like the Wyze Cam V3, the Roku Indoor Camera SE is a simple white cube that’s about 2 inches on all sides with rounded corners. The camera is connected to its base by a telescoping mount that allows you to adjust its position, height and angle. Roku also provides a wall plate if you want to mount the camera along with the hardware you need to attach it to a wall.

If you tilt the camera all the way up, there’s a microSD card slot along with a setup button on the bottom. On the backside of the Roku Indoor Camera SE, there’s a speaker along with a hardwired micro USB cord. However, this cord doesn’t plug directly into an AC adapter. Instead, there’s a female micro USB port at the end that plugs into a longer USB cable.

On the bottom of the Roku Indoor Camera SE, there are two rubber pads to hold it in place as well as a hole to hang it from a screw if you decide to wall mount the camera.

Getting the Roku Indoor Camera SE setup was quite easy. First I downloaded the Roku Smart Home app and plugged in the camera. After pressing the Setup button on the underside of the camera, I had to scan a QR code shown in the app before the camera connected to my Wi-Fi network.
