Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share with family and friends?
Yes, you can share your cameras with family and friends who will have access to view the camera and control your bulbs, plugs, and other Geeni devices. In the Geeni app, press the Profile button and click on the “Device Sharing” button to give or revoke sharing permissions. The other user must have already downloaded the Geeni app and registered a new account.
Recording and Micro SD Card Usage:
Without a Micro SD card (optional, sold separately), the smart Wi-Fi camera can show live video, save screenshots or videos to your phone, and record motion alert snapshots. Installing a Micro SD card enables video recording and playback. The camera will continuously record and play back video until the card is full (up to 128GB supported). Video is encrypted and only viewable through the Geeni app.
How Much Video Can The Camera Record?
Depending on video quality, the camera uses around 1GB of storage per day. A 32GB card can provide weeks of continuous video. The oldest footage will be automatically replaced by new video as the card fills up.
How Many Cameras Can I Control?
Geeni's app can control an unlimited amount of devices in an unlimited amount of locations. Your router may have a limit on the number of devices it can connect.
My Geeni device has a funny name. How do I rename it?
From your main device list, click on the device, press the [settings] icon on the top right for advanced settings, and click "Modify Device Name".
The device appears offline or unreachable, what should I do?
Make sure your Wi-Fi router is online and in range. Check for firmware updates in your device settings.
What's the Wireless Range?
The wireless range depends heavily on your home router and room conditions. Check your router specifications for exact range data.
If my Wi-Fi/Internet goes down, will Geeni still work?
Geeni products need to be connected to Wi-Fi to be used remotely.
