Camera Status Indicators

Booting

The first two LEDs blink alternately when the camera is turning on or off. Once the LEDs stop blinking and remain solid, the camera has completed the process.

Wait for solid lights before attempting to use the camera.

Ready

Two solid green LEDs indicate the camera is powered on and ready. You can now open the Veo Camera app to begin recording or live-streaming.

Busy

Alternating or blinking lights (other than boot-up) mean the camera is performing an action such as recording, live-streaming, uploading, or updating.

Tip: Avoid powering off or unplugging the camera during this phase.

Error

If the LEDs blink red or display a flashing error pattern, the camera has failed to boot properly or encountered a critical issue.

Solution: Hold the power button for 15 seconds to force a restart. If the error persists, contact Support for assistance.

Battery Fully Drained

If no lights appear at all or if a single red light flashes, the battery may be completely drained.

Solution: Connect the camera to a power source using the official charging cable and leave it charging for at least 30 minutes before retrying.
