Roku remotes can control TV power and volume and include voice search. Some remotes use infrared (IR) or RF to send commands and many models also include preset channel buttons for one‑touch access.
Roku devices use a mix of Wi‑Fi standards, including Wi‑Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11n), Wi‑Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac), and Wi‑Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), depending on the model.
Roku cameras offer color night vision (with distances noted in product details — for example, 25 feet) and weather resistance varies by model. For example, the battery outdoor camera is rated IP65 for weather protection; check the specific camera’s specs for its exact rating.
The Roku Smart Home subscription includes 14 days of cloud recordings and smart detection that can identify people, packages, pets, and cars.
Setup is typically quick and guided: plug the device into your TV, connect it to the internet, and follow the on‑screen prompts. Reviewers commonly describe the process as plug‑and‑play and intuitive.
Roku cameras include built‑in microphones and support two‑way talk. You can speak to visitors or pets via the mobile app or a computer, and camera feeds can also be viewed on a TV or compatible player.
