Faqs

Can I share with family and friends?

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, and you will be able to give or revoke sharing permissions. In order to share, the other user should already have downloaded the Geeni app and registered a new account.

How does the pre-installed microSD card work:

The camera has a preinstalled 16GB microSD card and will continuously record until the card is full. This video is encrypted and only viewable through the Geeni app on your phone; you can remove the pre-installed microSD card, in order to install a larger capacity card, but you cannot view the footage saved on the microSD card outside of the Geeni app.

How much video can the camera record?

Depending on the video quality, the camera will use around 1GB of storage to record 24 hours of footage. This can mean an entire day of continuous footage, or multiple days of motion-only recording. As the card fills up, the oldest footage will be automatically replaced by new video. If you would like to increase your internal storage space, visit MyGeeni. com for an instructional video on how to open up the camera and install a larger microSD card.

How many cameras can I control?
