Linking your Roku account to your Roku device
To link your Roku account to your Roku device, follow these steps:
First, ensure that you have created a Roku account. You can do this by visiting the Roku website and providing your email address and creating a password.
Next, on your Roku device, go to "Settings," then "System," and select "Account Linking." Here, you will be able to enter your Roku account credentials (the email and password you created) to link your device to your account.
Make sure that your Roku device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as any other devices you plan to use with it, such as your phone or computer. This will ensure that you can access the same channels and features across all your devices.
Now, open the Roku app on your phone or computer. This should be the same app that you downloaded to access your Roku camera. Within the app, sign in using the same Roku account credentials that you used to link your Roku device.
Finally, to confirm that your Roku account and device are linked correctly, try accessing your Roku camera feed on your TV. Open the Roku Cameras channel on your TV and ensure that it is the correct channel:

Ensuring your camera is powered on and connected to the internet
To ensure your Roku camera is powered on and connected to the internet, follow these steps:
First, power on your camera by plugging the USB cable into the camera and connecting it to a power source, such as an electrical outlet or USB port. The LED indicator light will tell you if your camera is powered on. A solid red light indicates that the camera is turned on and initialising, while a flashing red light means it is ready to connect to Wi-Fi.
Next, connect your camera to your Wi-Fi network. Make sure your camera is within range of your router to minimise interference. If your camera is mounted, record the device's MAC address, as this is required for troubleshooting and is located on the bottom of the base. Open the Roku Smart Home app on your smartphone or tablet and log in to your account. Ensure that your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you intend to use for the Roku camera setup. In the app, select the plus sign from the menu, then press "Add Device". Choose "Cameras and Doorbells", then select the "Indoor Camera" option. Press "Next" and then press the "Setup" button on your camera. Choose your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network using the smartphone app and enter its password. Scan the QR code with your camera. Your camera should now be connected to your Wi-Fi network.
If you are having issues with your camera connecting to the internet, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Check that the camera is properly connected to power and turned on.
- Verify that the camera's LED lights or indicators are showing signs of power.
- Ensure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your camera.
- Check that the Roku app has the necessary permissions on your mobile device to access the camera and location services.
- Try performing a reset on your camera.
- Close the Roku app completely and reopen it.
- Try setting up the camera using a different smartphone or tablet.
- Check for any available firmware updates within the Roku app or on Roku's website.
