I'm writing this review to share my positive experience with GEENI products. I have been using GEENI outdoor and indoor cameras for the past five years, and in my opinion, they offer a superior home security solution compared to other brands I've tried, including RING. You can purchase wired GEENI cameras or wireless. I use both wired & wireless cameras around my home.Before GEENI, I used ADT security services, which were incredibly expensive and required professional installation and reinstallation with every move. GEENI cameras, however, are incredibly portable. I can easily pack them up and reinstall them in my new home without any hassle. During my five years of use, I haven't experienced any issues with video quality, connectivity, or app functionality. I previously used the GEENI weighting scale, which I found incredibly helpful for tracking my health and fitness goals.I'm now preparing for the arrival of my new puppy and have purchased the GEENI water bowl, food bowl, and puppy camera. I'm particularly excited about the puppy camera's features, such as [mention specific features, e.g., two-way audio, night vision, and remote treats]. There is one item I have in my shopping cart & it is the GEENI doorbell camera. I wish it was wireless but I believe they only made the wired.I highly recommend GEENI products to anyone seeking a reliable and affordable home security solution. You won't be disappointed.

I already had their interior cameras and love it. I actually wanted the solar powered exterior but they were unavailable so I got these. The quality is GREAT!!! I put one up at my shop and the other at my house. The only complaint that I have is that you can’t choose to turn the motion sensor off and on (like the interior) and that gets annoying very fast!

Ordered two of these and have had nothing but problems.“device is offline” has become the thing I see more than the actual footage.Batteries don’t hold a charge for more than 24 hours before going completely dead.I’ve literally been up ladders 20 times to remove and re-charge them since I got them 10 days ago.Usually Geeni stuff has served me well but these cameras are garbage. Do yourself a favour and save $100. Don’t buy them. Waste of good money.Dealing with Geeni customer service to resolve the battery issue just results in an endless loop of emails and no actual help or solution.Big waste of time and the customer service is horrendous.DONT BUY THESE CAMERAS!!!!

I love Geeni products but was saddened by this one. It will not stay connected to my wifi and I have a lot of experience with wifi and tech. It does have night vision which I previously reported it did not. It needs to be turned on in the settings. The camera 'box' itself is too loose on its swivel point - the end that actually screws into the back of the camera box. I added a drop of loktight to secure it and it overflowed on the piece that screws to the base, which is attached to a fixed post. It seemed to 'eat' the plastic and that part split and broke. Now my only choice is to try to attach the camera with zip ties which will limit the ability to face it in the direction I'd like. Because of all these trials, I haven't yet had the camera outside in the rain. Once I actually get it set up, I really feel there will be a need to apply a putty like substance where the cable leaves the solar panel and where the cable plugs into the camera. With our hight winds and snow in any storms there isn't a chance that water will not seep inside these joints. I can revisit and comment on that later. I have much success with the rechargeable cameras that stick magnetically and they stay outside in very severe weather conditions. I wish it was possible to replace the battery in them once they are several years old as they will not charge anymore.Updated Dec. 2024. Months after having this camera outside I finally decided to bring it back inside and see if I could troubleshoot. It hasn't worked since I placed it outside shortly after purchasing but I kept the solar panel attached to maintain battery life. The battery does not work, it will not charge inside, connected to an outlet. It obviously will not reset nor power on for any length of time. When first plugged in to charge the red light comes on and lasts about 10 minutes. The solar panel leaked water from inside. My Geenie cameras have always worked great but this one has be a total problem. It's going in the garbage and I do not recommend this camera.

We are happy with the fact that we don’t have to plug the camera in to charge it. It gives us a very clear picture.

I really don't know what to say but the recording sucked. Cuts off to early, doesn't record soon enough or just doesn't record at all, with or without the cloud.

I wanted something economical but with certain features before jumping to a larger brand like nest or blink.So far, it's been really good for what I wanted. The mount could maybe be a little better. It feels a bit flimsy if you have to adjust it often. Battery isn't bad if it isn't in a high traffic area. I had to make sure a sidewalk in front of the house wasn't in frame, for instance. Which was on with what I needed.

I kinda wish I could set up sound detection as well on here since it’s inside a shed. I would like to know they’re breaking in before the door opens. Otherwise it’s good. Before I got the panel up I used it for 4 days and the battery was still showing 100% so that’s good

We already own 4 camera from Geeni. 2 outdoor and 2 indoor. They work very well and have very similar settings/configuration. We were happy to find these Battery operated camera so we could add some camera in places outside that weren't close to an outlet.Packaging was good. When we opened the package we noticed it only came with 1 USB-C cable to charge and 1 set of screw to attach the camera to wall. This is a 2 pack so I assumed it would come with 2 set of hardware. The package was sealed so I contacted Geeni..... It seem they only put 1 set of hardware.... Strange... Instructions to assemble are clear and it's really easy.The setup/pairing was easy like any other of their devices. But right after I set it up I noticed the selection of options/features weren't the same as the instructions. Also the camera seem to always be on standby until it detects movement or if you have the Geeni app opened on that camera.For the motion detection there's the regular 3 settings (low,medium,high) but that's it. You cannot choose an area or set a time of day to detect. You also cannot set a recording schedule. I do not understand why it's lacking so many features compare to 2 other older models that I'm already using outside (Hawk 2 HD and Floodlight camera).I installed the camera on our garage and had a pretty good view of the whole driveway. Since it was on at the time it would create short clips of myself installing it. After I was do I did some testing about 10 feet away and for some reason it wasn't detecting my movement. I then took our car out of the garage and went out the driveway and back. Looking back at our video it only recorded about 5 seconds of my leaving with the car. So far I'm not impressed.I left the camera on for 24 hours. It never detected when I took out the trash or brought my son to school the next morning. The next morning when I opened the camera it wouldn't connect to it anymore. I had noticed that it took so long to connect to it compare to my other camera that are placed even further away. The night vision was working ok except in the morning when I checked the camera I I could barely see outside. I opened our other other camera and the night vision was clear.Anyway I'm not impressed at all. It's slow to load and fail to connect most of the time, doesn't detect anything unless you are a few feet away and lacks features/settings that would be very useful to have (set schedule etc..)It might be different for other people but I will be returning them. The 2 other camera I have (hawk 2 HD and floodlight) still work great and their detection range are very good compare to this model so I will look to find one of those instead.
