Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Geeni Smart Video Doorbell, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/Offline: Check the power connection at the breaker box and ensure the doorbell wiring is secure. Verify your Wi-Fi network is active and stable.
• App Connection Issues: Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during setup. Try restarting your router and the Geeni app. If issues persist, try resetting the doorbell (refer to the full user manual for reset instructions) and re-pairing it with the app. Some users have reported app-related connectivity challenges; ensure the app is updated to the latest version.
• Poor Video Quality: Check your Wi-Fi signal strength at the doorbell's location. Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions.
• Motion Detection Not Working: Verify motion detection is enabled in the Geeni app settings. Adjust the sensitivity level and activity areas to optimize detection.
• No Chime Sound: Ensure the chime kit (if applicable) is correctly installed and compatible with the doorbell's power requirements (16-24 VAC). Some users have found that a higher voltage transformer (e.g., 24VAC) may be necessary for the chime to function properly.
• Two-Way Audio Problems: Check your phone's microphone and speaker settings. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the doorbell's microphone or speaker.
