Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
Regarding the spotlight brightness on the Tapo C113, its design function is to primarily provide supplementary illumination for the camera’s image sensor in low-light conditions, ensuring the effective operation of its night vision feature. Therefore, its main purpose is to enhance the camera’s own imaging quality, not to serve as a standalone area lighting device. As such, it is not capable of illuminating a surrounding area like a dedicated floodlight or spotlight would.

If you are looking for a solution that provides both surveillance and area lighting, you might consider:
1. Using the C113 alongside an independent outdoor lighting device (e.g., a motion-activated floodlight), or
2. Exploring our other models that come with integrated floodlight capabilities for combined monitoring and illumination: https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/cloud-camera/?filterby=6739
