Frequently Asked Questions

• 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.

Video is encrypted and only viewable through the Geeni app on your phone, so do not try removing the microSD card to view video.

• How Much Video Can the Camera Record?
  Depending on video quality, the camera will use around 1GB of storage per day, so a 32GB card can provide weeks of continuous video. As the card fills up, the oldest footage will automatically be replaced by new video, so you don’t have to ever worry about running out of storage space.
