Troubleshooting

Device won't power on

Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the Vespera II to its charger and attempt to power on. Check if the charging indicator light is active.

App cannot connect to the Vespera II

Verify that the Vespera II is powered on and broadcasting its Wi-Fi signal. Ensure your mobile device is connected to the Vespera II's Wi-Fi network. Restart both the app and the Vespera II.

Auto-Initialization fails

Ensure the Vespera II has a clear view of the sky. Check for sufficient GPS signal strength. Confirm your mobile device has an active internet connection. Try relocating to an area with less obstruction.

Images are blurry or out of focus

The Vespera II features autofocus. If images are consistently blurry, ensure the lens is clean. Rerun the Auto-Initialization process. If the problem persists, check for firmware updates via the Singularity app.

Device shuts down unexpectedly

The device may shut down automatically in rainy or very humid conditions to protect itself. Ensure it is not exposed to moisture. If shutdown occurs in clear weather, check the battery level; it might be critically low.
