  • Battery & Charging ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.5
    The Roku wireless doorbell uses a built-in rechargeable battery charged over USB, with charge level visible in the app along with power saver modes and low-battery alerts to stretch time between charges, and earlier reviews suggest its dual internal cells can deliver roughly three to six months of typical use before recharging, with recharge intervals shortening as the battery ages.

Cons

  • Subscription ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 2.5
    Because the doorbell lacks local recording, a Roku Smart Home subscription is effectively required to keep and review full event clips beyond the short included trial period, and the plan also unlocks faster, smarter detection alerts in exchange for ongoing monthly or annual fees.
  • Storage ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 2.3
    Unlike some competitors, the Roku wireless doorbell does not offer local storage via a hub or microSD card, instead saving short event clips to Roku’s cloud for a limited period and requiring users to download important footage manually if they want a longer-term copy.
