How to Change WiFi on Geeni Camera

Geeni cameras are a popular choice for home security and monitoring, but sometimes you may need to change the Wi-Fi network they are connected to. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as moving to a new location, upgrading your internet service, or experiencing connectivity issues.

In this article, we will guide you through the process of changing the Wi-Fi on your Geeni camera clearly and concisely.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that your Geeni camera is powered on and connected to a power source. You will also need a stable internet connection and the Geeni app installed on your smartphone or tablet.

If you don’t have the app, you can download it from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Accessing the Geeni Camera’s Settings Menu

1. Open the Geeni app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Log in to your Geeni account using your credentials. If you don’t have an account, you will need to create one.
3. Once you are logged in, you should see a list of all your Geeni devices. Locate the camera you want to change the Wi-Fi for and tap on it to access its settings.

Changing the Wi-Fi Network on Geeni Camera

1. In the camera’s settings menu, look for the option to change the Wi-Fi network. It may be labeled as “Wi-Fi settings” or something similar.
2. Tap on the Wi-Fi settings option, and you will be prompted to enter your new Wi-Fi network credentials.
3. Enter the SSID (network name) and password for your new Wi-Fi network. Make sure to double-check the information to avoid any errors.
4. After entering the new Wi-Fi credentials, tap on the “Save” or “Apply” button to save the changes.

Resetting the Camera

If you encounter any issues while changing the Wi-Fi network, you may need to reset the Geeni camera to its factory settings. This will erase the current Wi-Fi settings and allow you to start from scratch.

1. Locate the reset button on the camera (usually a small hole).
2. Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds until you see the LED lights on the camera start to flash.
3. Once the camera is reset, you can now connect it to the new Wi-Fi network.

Connecting the Camera to the New Wi-Fi Network

1. Open the Geeni app on your smartphone or tablet and log in to your Geeni account.
2. In the app, tap on the “+” icon to add a new device. Select “Camera” from the list of available devices and follow the on-screen instructions to set up the camera.
3. During the setup process, you will be prompted to enter the new Wi-Fi network’s credentials. Make sure you have the correct network name (SSID) and password handy. Enter the information as required and proceed with the setup.
4. The Geeni app will then attempt to connect the camera to the new Wi-Fi network. Once the connection is established, you should see a confirmation message on the app.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while changing the Wi-Fi network on your Geeni camera, such as connectivity problems or incorrect passwords, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Check if you have entered the correct Wi-Fi password during the setup process.
2. Ensure that your Wi-Fi signal is strong and not too weak.
3. Update the Geeni app to the latest version to ensure compatibility with your new Wi-Fi network.
4. Check for any internet connection problems and try resetting your Wi-Fi router if necessary.

Conclusion

Changing the Wi-Fi network on your Geeni camera is a straightforward process that involves accessing the camera’s settings menu, entering the new Wi-Fi credentials, and allowing the camera to connect to the new network.

However, if you encounter any issues, you can try resetting the camera or troubleshooting the connectivity problems. Always refer to the camera’s user manual or the Geeni app’s documentation for detailed instructions.
