STEP 1. In the Geeni app, on the top corner of the Devices screen, click (+). Choose "Video Camera".

STEP 2. Make sure the camera's indicator light is blinking red. If it is not, follow the reset instructions on page 5. Once the indicator light blinks red, press "Next Step”.

STEP 3. Enter your Wi-Fi network and password.

STEP 4. The Geeni app will connect to your device. During this time, the camera will beep and the indicator light will continue to blink red before turning solid green.

Note: If the connection fails, try to reset and connect directly using QR Code Mode. Geeni can't connect to 5GHz networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I share with family and friends? Yes, you can share access to all Geeni devices with family and friends through the "Profile" button and "Device Sharing" in the Geeni app.

6. What should I do if the camera appears offline or unreachable? Ensure your Wi-Fi router is online and in range. Check for firmware updates in your device settings.
