This document is a start guide for the Geeni Smart Wi-Fi Floodlight Camera, a smart home product designed to enhance security and convenience around your property. The device integrates a floodlight with a security camera, allowing for both illumination and surveillance, all controllable through a mobile app.
Function Description:
The Geeni Smart Wi-Fi Floodlight Camera serves as a comprehensive outdoor security solution. It combines the utility of a floodlight with the advanced features of a Wi-Fi-enabled camera, offering real-time monitoring, recording, and two-way communication. The floodlight provides illumination, which can be activated manually or on a schedule, and can also be triggered by motion detection to deter intruders. The camera captures high-definition video footage, allowing users to keep an eye on their property from anywhere using their smartphone or tablet.
Key functionalities include:
- Live View: Users can access a live feed from the camera at any time through the Geeni app, providing immediate visual oversight of the monitored area.
- Motion Detection: The camera is equipped with motion sensors that trigger recording and send push notifications to the user's mobile device when movement is detected. This feature helps in alerting users to potential security breaches or unexpected activity.
- Two-Way Audio: A built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way communication. This means users can not only hear what's happening around the camera but also speak through the camera to interact with visitors or deter unwanted guests.
- Video Recording and Playback: The camera supports continuous video recording when a microSD card (sold separately) is installed. This allows for playback of recorded footage, providing a historical record of events. Without a microSD card, the camera can still save screenshots or short video clips of the camera stream to the phone and record still snapshots of motion alerts.
- Floodlight Control: The integrated floodlight can be controlled manually through the app, scheduled to turn on/off at specific times, or configured to activate upon motion detection.
- Buzzer Function: For enhanced security, the camera includes a buzzer that can be activated remotely to scare off intruders or alert neighbors.
Usage Features:
The Geeni Smart Wi-Fi Floodlight Camera is designed for ease of use and integration into a smart home ecosystem.
- Mobile App Control: All primary functions and settings are managed through the Geeni app, available on iOS and Android devices. This centralized control allows users to monitor their property, adjust settings, and receive alerts from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Easy Setup: The setup process involves physical installation and wiring of the floodlight camera, followed by connecting it to the Geeni app. The app offers two connection methods: Easy Mode and QR Code Mode, to ensure a smooth pairing process with your home's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

- Device Name: Renaming the camera for easy identification (e.g., "Backyard" or "Driveway").
- Device Sharing: Sharing access to the camera with family and friends, allowing them to view the feed and control the device. Permissions can be managed within the app.
- Indicator Light: Toggling the camera's indicator light on or off for discreet operation.
- Flip Image: If the camera is mounted upside down, this feature rotates the image 180 degrees to ensure correct orientation.
- Time Watermark: Adding a timestamp to video footage for chronological reference.
- Motion Detection Schedule: Scheduling specific times for motion alerts to be active and controlling the duration of floodlight activation upon motion.
- Night Vision: The camera automatically activates night vision in low-light conditions, but users can also manually toggle it on or off.
- Storage Options: The camera supports local storage via a microSD card (up to 128GB), which enables continuous recording. The app also allows users to save screenshots and video clips directly to their phone's memory.
- Alerts and Notifications: Push notifications are sent to the user's phone when motion is detected, keeping them informed of any activity.
Maintenance Features:
Maintaining the Geeni Smart Wi-Fi Floodlight Camera primarily involves ensuring its software is up-to-date and managing its storage.
- Firmware Updates: The Geeni app provides an option to "Check for firmware update" in the device settings. Regularly updating the firmware ensures the camera has the latest features, security patches, and performance improvements.
- MicroSD Card Management: If a microSD card is used for recording, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest footage once the card is full, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention. The app also offers an option to erase the microSD card if needed.
- Reset Functionality: A reset button is located under a cover on the bottom of the floodlight. This allows users to reset the camera, which can be useful for troubleshooting connection issues or reconfiguring the device.
- Troubleshooting Support: The guide provides troubleshooting tips for common issues, such as connectivity problems. For further assistance, users can contact Geeni support via their website or a toll-free number, or access the "Support" section within the Geeni app.
