Abnormal behaviour – Solving the failsafes
EYESEE Drone incorporates various mechanisms to ensure the safety of users and the integrity of the drone.
These behaviours (or failsafes) are triggered during flight. When a failsafe is triggered, the application displays a message to help you identify the cause.
Resolving the failsafe will enable you to continue your inventory safely.

- Check that the placement of the 2 EYESEE Tags complies with the mode selected in the application.
- Check that the 2 EYESEE Tags are not too far from the drone, moving them closer together if possible (a distance of around 30m +/- 5 metres gives very good results).
🆘 If the problem persists, please contact EYESEE support at help@eyesee-drone.com.
11. Connection failure
What causes this FailSafe?
A connection problem between the drone and the tablet.
How can I solve this FailSafe?
