Geeni Freebird 2K Wireless Camera: Battery Powered, Waterproof, Motion Detection, Night Vision, Two-Way Audio, Alexa/Google

Completely impressed with this cameras
We have purchased Geeni products in the past and have been so far extremely happy with every purchase but let me tell you about this cameras. They are small and light weight but very good. The set up is extremely easy. The box comes with two different ways to install them, we chose the magnetic option to be able to remove them easy when charging them. Set up was fast since we have the Geeni app, they come with many cool features two way mic, night time vision, motion detection. You can use the Geeni cloud with subscription or each camera has a mini SD card slot that you can use if you prefer. The price point for these is excellent. Over all we’re very pleased with the value, features, ease of use, quality and ease of connectivity. Highly recommend if like us you’re on a budget but still want great quality.

Excited by the potential / Disappointed over-all / Not MY Alexa friendly…
TL;DR: YGWYPF. These units are better than some, but not a solid solution for true security, and if you have to reach out to customer/tech support, you’re likely in for a very long and frustrating experience. I think as far as Geeni / Merkury goes, I’ll be sticking to smart light bulbs and outlets.So, I’ve adopted much of the Geeni / Merkury ecosphere. Generally speaking, they’re dependable, easy to set up, and quality products at a reasonable price-point. Needing to replace my outdated and now-malfunctioning older exterior cameras, I was excited by the potential of this unit: fully wireless, battery-operated weatherproof HD security camera? Yes, please. Build-quality seemed fine. The unit is beefy, most likely due to the combo of a large battery and a strong magnet. Speaking of the magnet, I was *very* impressed by the ingenuity and strength of the magnetic mounting system: the unit is very stable when mounted this way (but obviously, this mount is not truly secure: someone could easily just grab and make off with the camera, so mounting this way would be more secure if mounted well out of reach to prevent this). It is nice that they also include a screw-on bayonet-style mount as well.The issue is with its connectivity, especially with regards to Amazon Alexa and the Echo Show. I purchased three (3) Echo Show units expressly in order to monitor security from various rooms in my home. While I have no problem monitoring my Geeni Sentinel 1080p indoor camera -via- all my Echo Show devices, as well as in the Geeni app, I have tried repeatedly (including hard resets and reconfigs) to get Amazon Alexa to “see” the Freebird at all, although it IS viewable in the Geeni app on both my phone and tablet. Contacting Geeni customer service (twice) is a frustration measured on a different scale, which wound up necessitating interfacing with the offshore “developers” in Who-Knows-Where-Istan. After supplying the relevant info to them, I haven’t heard back from in over a week, and have received zero help since I asked for it, nor remedy.Outside of that issue, in the case of all Geeni cameras, one should be aware that as far as security goes, you’re not going to be able to quickly “see” the view from this camera on a wireless display other than your phone through the Geeni app. On an Amazon Echo Show (on a very beefy mesh network, no less) the time it takes for the camera view to populate is between 6-10 seconds. So someone considering this as a true security camera solution should understand that you’re not going to get a view of any camera on an Echo Show in the event of a time-sensitive situation (like, say, a trespasser).Pretty disappointed over-all…

Clear quality
I love this camera. Easy to install and use. The connection was easy the sound is clear the perfect size. The battery life performance is what I love the most, top notch performance:

I have a few of these cameras, same model, but wanted a couple more. For some reason this new one works way better in capturing movement and picture quality. So I am going to replace my older ones, with newer ones. This new one has a C Connector which is much faster charging. Subtle but better changes and the playback appears much more clear and reliable.

Loved the convenience of moving it around if need be ….not as easy to hook up as stated had to call cable provider and had to seperate 2g from 5 g in order to work ….no sd card so need to purchase it seperate should come with camera …. which i will have to do so for now can watch but cannot record until sd card is purchased grrr !!
