I have several ip cameras plugged in to Geeni smart plugs. Some are set to “on” and some are set to “off”. I am now trying to turn on one of the “off” cameras and when accessing the app all the “off” cameras are saying they are “offline”. Is there any way I can correct this remotely.

By "remotely" if you mean away from your home network, most likely no.

I have set up Shelly Wi-Fi relay/switches and Echo smart outlets and they are all very similar when it comes to using a smartphone app, creating an account, logging into your home's Wi-Fi, etc.

You'll likely have to be at the faulty and/or "offline" devices so you can troubleshoot, observe indicators, cycle power, reset and re-install, etc.

FWIW, Geeni has a decent FAQ and support page here.

EDIT: Call me curious, but why do you want to remotely turn on/off power to some IP cameras?
