Add IP Camera Viewer on Roku to View Security Cameras

Well, this is possible, if you have the security cameras except this one (blink camera), and an app named IP Camera View installed on your Roku device. This app is included on the channel store that you can download right away, 

But, you must know that the IP camera viewer app comes in two versions (Basic and Pro), the basic app (free) can only open up footage of a single camera at a time, while the next one (paid) can do so from 2 to 4 cameras simultaneously.

With being I said, decide whether you want to use the free or premium app and follow the required procedures here:

1. On your Roku TV screen, go to the channel store and install the IP Camera Viewer Pro or Basic App. (Navigate Streaming Channels » Search Channels options)

2. Once the installation is completed, launch the IP Camera app on your TV and scroll down to choose the Add Camera option.

5. Afterward, depending on the type of camera you use, select ONVIF Auto Configuration (only works for ONVIF-compliant cameras) for automatic configuration or Scan or Next option. (The Next button will let you manually choose the camera model name, and the Scan button requires you to put a URL tag specific to the camera you want to connect with)

6. At last, you have two buttons to select, Test Camera Config and Save Camera, the first option will play the recording of your camera on the screen for the sake of testing, and the second button is to save the camera with the entire settings you added.
