Does this detect all movement or just people movement?
From my review of it”,the camera would work only in daylight hours,then other times day and night…then only daylight again,literally as soon as the sun went down nothing was recorded sometimes!!if its for security you need it consistent!then it would catch the end of movement,not the beginning”
How long does the camera work on full charge?
It depends on how active the camera is. It sits in standby mode and only records when motion is detected. I have mine facing the back half of the property and motion detection comes on 5 or 6 times a day. Usually a neighbor’s dog or some sort of wildlife walks past the camera. Mine was at 40% after 4 months I think before I decided to recharge it. The app will let you know when to charge it.
Can you Turn off the sound
Yes there’s an option to turn off the sound
Does this work on 5g wifi?
No. Sorry.
How do these get power when outside? A regular outlet?
Yes, once the battery needs recharge.
Does night vision require a light to be able to see?
No you don’t need a light at all the cameras have night vision which means it’ll be in black and white unless there is a little light then it will be color just dark. I love my Freebird cameras for outdoors and the wired ones are really good.
Is this system expandable? Can more cameras be added later?
Yes
What is the range of the motion detector?
Not exactly sure or catches movement on the street which is probably 20 feet from the camera but then again one of the cameras that placed on the back catches movement from cars passing by on the next block
Do you need to subscribe monthly
No, you can use SD cards instead; however, if you would like cloud services then yes. I personally use SD cards and just erase the clips every few weeks and I can still review the footage from my phone that is within the SD cards. Without SD cards you only get photos. The SD cards give you short video recordings.
Can you keep it plugged in full time?
Yes
Why claim weather proof? the lens fogs up to the point nothing is visible in cold weather and the battery doesn’t last 3 months either
These are suppose to be plugged in. So I have outdoor plugs. I have had mine for few years. Worked great all year round. I put them over front and back doors. But they both have a top covering for weather protection. Such as the one has a in closed porch. So it’s protected from rain snow everything. The other one has a top covering. But you need to plug them in and hook it up to your WI-FI.
Does it rotate
Yes
Will it alert you when there is movement in your house?
If you have it set up that way
Can you set them to be on certain times, so from 10pm-7am, or are they on constantly?
You can’t-its constantly on
Will this camera work with Blue Iris?
Don’t think so. It comes with a app. My brother helped me get this installed.
Battery type?
9000mh lithium
How do you get it to record more than just little clips?
It won’t record continues

1. 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, 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.
2. Recording and microSD card usage:
Without a microSD card (optional, sold separately), the smart Wi-Fi camera can show live camera video, save screenshots or videos of the camera stream to your phone for later, and record still snapshots of motion alerts when notifications are turned on. Installing a microSD card will further enable video recording and playback from your phone. When the card is installed, the camera will continuously record and play back video to your phone until the card is full (up to 128GB supported). Video is encrypted and only viewable through the Geeni app on your phone, so do not try removing the microSD card to view video.
3. 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, contact [email protected] for an instructional video on how to open up the camera and install a larger microSD card.
4. 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 of how many devices can be connected to one router.
5. My Geeni device has a funny name. How do I rename it?
From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to rename, press the “•••” button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Modify Device Name. You’ll then be able to choose a more familiar name.
6. The device appears offline or unreachable, what should I do?
Make sure your Wi-Fi router is online and in range and check that you have the latest Geeni functionality by clicking “Check for firmware update” in your device settings.
7. What’s the wireless range?
The range of your home Wi-Fi is heavily dependent on your home router and the conditions of the room. Check with your router specifications for exact range data.
8. If my Wi-Fi/Internet goes down, will Geeni still work?
Geeni products need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to use them remotely.
Cannot connect to your Wi-Fi network: Make sure you entered the correct Wi-Fi password during the Wi-Fi setup. Check whether there are any Internet connection problems. If the Wi-Fi signal is too weak, reset your Wi-Fi router and try again.
