Geeni GN-CW008-101 Look 1080P HD Smart Indoor Surveillance Camera for Home Security - No Hub Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant & Microsoft Cortana, Requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Black

Activation using a QR code works like a charm. There have been great improvements since the 720p version. Now Google Home app recognises the device as a camera and allows you to stream from it right away without any delays (there was a delay of up to 30 seconds with the old camera when the stream had to go through Geeni or SmartLife app and then to Google). For now (firmware 5.5.3, SmartLife 5.14.0) the only issue I see is being unable to add the camera to any routines like the existing one to activate motion detection, so I had to set an individual schedule for this one.

I ordered a different camera last week(cheap, mini spy cam) and got exactly what I paid for, cheap product. Spent almost three hours trying to get it to connect to the app on my phone(which had a less than 2 star rating) so I gave up and returned it and bought this camera! It was only $12 more expensive than the other one but man! I should have bought two cause I love this thing so much! I just needed something small to put outside my hermit crab tank so I could watch them when I wasn’t home while they were out and about and this works just great! Set up took less than 10 minutes. Downloaded the app, connected the camera and got it positioned all in under ten minutes. The picture quality is good, the night vision is good. The only thing I’ve noticed is that when you turn on the lights, if the camera is in any way tucked behind something or close to something else that blocks the infrared light, the night vision doesn’t switch back to normal automatically. You almost have to show the camera to the light before it registers it. But all in all, it’s a wonderful little device! I like that you don’t have to pay for storage if you don’t want it. This first one is just a tank monitoring camera for me so I don’t really need any storage because it’s not for security purposes and I like that I don’t have to pay simply to view my camera. It does come with a memory card feature that seems to be viewable from the app as well. That being said, the options for the cloud service that it DOES give you are very reasonably priced. $20 for an entire year with a 14 day continuous recording time is almost unbeatable! Very happy with this purchase and I am going to be buying more from this company! For reference, I pay $50 a month for my Vivint service and it’s not that great! Lol!

this camera is one of the simplest to set up but best indoors . I also like the USB cable better than my other similar cameras. I will likely buy another eventually.

Great. Love it!! This is our 4th time buying these. I do wish they would update so you can view all 4 at the same time but for price and quality. 5 stars

Great little Camera for temporary indoor use. Sometimes, pairing it with the Geeni App can be finicky.
