Roku Outdoor Camera for Home Security

Best for: Renters and wire-free outdoor setups

Pros

• Battery lasts up to six months
• IP65 weather resistance
• Color night vision
• 80db siren

Cons

• Needs recharging or solar panel
• Base station adds a box indoors

The Roku Outdoor Camera for Home Security is a battery-powered camera, which means there are no wires to run outside. Roku lists up to six months of use on a single charge, and you can pair it with the Roku Solar Panel (sold separately) so the sun keeps it topped up. It has IP65 weather resistance. The IP rating is a standard code: the 6 means it is dust-tight, and the 5 means it can handle water jets such as heavy rain.

It records 1080p HD video, and a low-light amplifier captures twice as much light for color night vision. Its sensors detect body heat, so swaying trees should not trigger alerts, and you can draw custom detection zones to ignore a neighbor’s yard. It offers two-way audio and an 80db siren. The box includes the camera, a base station, power adaptor, ethernet cable, USB charging cable and screws. The base station is a small hub that plugs in indoors and connects the camera to your network. It works with Alexa and Google, and includes 3 months of a Roku Smart Home subscription when you sign up for the single camera monthly plan.

This is the easiest outdoor pick for renters or anyone who cannot run power outside. It gives way to the Floodlight Camera if the area is dark and you want lighting as well as video.

Roku Floodlight Camera for Home Security

Best for: Driveways and dark backyards

Pros

• Motion-activated dimmable floodlights
• 270-degree view
• 105db siren
• IP65 rated

Cons

• Needs junction box with ground wire
• Renewed, not new

The Roku Floodlight Camera for Home Security combines a camera with dimmable floodlights that switch on when its infrared sensors detect motion. It gives a 270-degree view up to 30 feet away in 1080p HD, with the same low-light amplifier for color night vision, IP65 weather resistance, body-heat sensing, custom detection zones and two-way audio. Its siren is 105db, louder than the battery camera’s.

It is wired, meaning it takes power directly from your home’s electrical system. Roku says DIY setup is possible anywhere you have a junction box with a ground wire; if you do not have one, a licensed electrician can install it. This listing is sold through Amazon Renewed, so it is a pre-owned or refurbished unit rather than new. It measures 9.5 × 7.7 × 7 inches and includes the 3-month subscription offer.

This suits homeowners who want to light up a driveway, side yard or back door. For a quick, no-electrician setup, the battery Outdoor Camera is simpler. Our overview of Roku smart home security explains how the pieces fit together.

Roku CW2000R Smart Home Outdoor Wired

Best for: Always-on outdoor monitoring near an outlet

Pros

• Plug-in wired power
• Motion and sound detection
• Two-way audio
• Night vision

Cons

• No IP rating listed
• Renewed, 90-day warranty

The Roku CW2000R Smart Home Outdoor Wired Camera SE is a plug-in outdoor camera, so it runs on constant power with no batteries to recharge. The listing names 1080p HD video, a weather-resistant housing, motion and sound detection, two-way audio and night vision. You can view it in the Roku Smart Home app or on a Roku TV or player.

It is renewed, professionally inspected, and carries a 90-day limited warranty. The listing does not give an IP rating, and some details look unusual, such as the color listed as red and very small dimensions of 2.3 × 2.05 × 2.01 inches, so check the product photos before buying. It needs an outdoor outlet or a cable route to one.

This suits someone who has power near a porch or patio and wants a camera that never needs charging. If you need proven weather protection, the IP65-rated Outdoor Camera is the safer bet. For more wired outdoor choices, see our guide to wired outdoor security cameras.

Best for: Checking on kids and pets indoors

Pros

• New 2-pack
• Color night vision
• Two-way audio
• View on Roku TV

Cons

• Not water resistant
• Needs a power outlet

Roku Indoor Camera for Home Security

Best for: Watching two indoor rooms affordably

Pros

• 2-pack
• Color night vision
• Built-in siren
• Several mounting options

Cons

• Indoor only
• Renewed, not new

The Roku Indoor Camera for Home Security is a renewed 2-pack of wired indoor cameras. Each has 1080p video, color night vision, motion and sound detection, a built-in siren you can trigger from the app, and works with Alexa and Google Assistant. The listing mentions surface, wall, ceiling and magnetic mounting.

These are indoor cameras only, so they belong inside the home, perhaps pointing at the front door from the hallway. They are sold through Amazon Renewed after inspection. The listing does not state the warranty length.

This suits a shopper who wants two cameras for inside and is comfortable with renewed products. If you prefer new, the Roku Indoor Camera 2-pack below covers the same job.

Best for: Front doors with or without wiring

Pros

• 1440p video
• 150-degree ultrawide view
• Chime included
• Battery or doorbell wiring

Cons

• Renewed, not new
• Doorbell only, not a yard camera

The Roku Smart Home Wireless Video Doorbell and Chime has the sharpest video here at 1440p, with a 150-degree ultrawide view that shows people up close and packages on the ground. Its battery lasts up to 6 months per charge, or you can connect it to existing doorbell wiring for continuous power. It has IP65 weather resistance, color night vision, motion and sound alerts and two-way audio.

The box includes the doorbell, an enhanced chime, a corner kit, a USB charging cable and mounting accessories, and it includes the 3-month subscription offer. This listing is renewed.

This suits anyone who wants to see visitors and deliveries at the door. It does not replace a yard camera, so pair it with the Outdoor Camera for full coverage.

The Roku Indoor Camera is a new 2-pack of wired indoor cameras. Roku suggests using them to check on kids or pets. They record 1080p full-color video day or night, send motion and sound alerts, offer two-way audio so you can talk to your pet, and include a built-in siren. You can pull up the feed on a Roku TV or player with your remote or Roku Voice, and they work with Alexa and Google Assistant.

The listing says they are not water resistant, so keep them indoors. They mount with screws.

This is a thoughtful gift for new parents or pet owners who already stream on Roku. For outdoor coverage, choose one of the outdoor models above.
