Weatherproofing (IP65)

The Geekee camera is rated IP65 weatherproof, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This allows for reliable operation in various outdoor conditions, including rain and snow. Periodically clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal performance and image clarity.

Troubleshooting

  • Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi. Verify that the camera is within range of your router and that the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly.
  • Frequent motion detection alerts: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings within the VicoHome app. You can also define custom activity zones to exclude areas with frequent irrelevant motion (e.g., busy streets, swaying trees).
  • Poor night vision quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check for any strong light sources directly facing the camera at night, which can interfere with night vision.
  • Battery draining quickly: High frequency of motion detection events, live view access, or two-way talk usage can increase battery consumption. Reduce sensitivity or frequency of alerts if possible. Ensure the camera is fully charged before deployment.
  • Two-way audio issues: Check your smartphone's volume settings and ensure the microphone and speaker permissions are granted to the VicoHome app. Ensure a stable internet connection for clear audio transmission.
