Looks like I'm the next one having the same issue with my brand new C520WS, V2...
Unfortunately I have updated the firmware directly to 1.2.1 Build 250911 Rel.44761, so I don't know if it worked with the original FW.

I've reset the camera already, Day/Night mode is set to "Automatisch" (German), Smart mode is on ("Intelligenter Modus" in german).

I use Person and Pet detection only (no motion detection),

At night (pitch black) it shows clearly black&white picture with the IR's, and once I walk into the cam view, it triggers a notification in the IPhone App,

but does not turn on the white spotlights ... 

I can turn the spotlights on and off manually via the app, so the spotlights basically work.

I really would like to have the spotlights on with detection, simply to have some light at night when I walk down the stairs ...

 

I've ordered 3 more cams (Black week...), but if there's no solution in sight, I would send them back ...

 

What was the solution now for this problem ? Is there a solution already ?
 

Thanks for a short info ...

fixed after 4 ( ! ) factory resets.

But it still takes around 10 s after the detection (cam is turning and following me already in IR mode for 10 sec), until the spotlights are turned on ?

Seems strange to me ...

Question :

In smart mode, why aren't the spotlights always turned on immediately once there is a detection and the cam is in IR mode ?

I think there's too much logic implemented...

@Solla-topee : I'm leaving on a short business trip this afternoon, so I cannot create the logs tonight. I'll be back tomorrow evening (Tuesday 02.12.) , then I will activate the logs and send them out on Wednesday morning.

@Solla-topee : I sent you a link to a video which shows that the spotlights are triggered with quite some delay ... Logs will follow tomorrow BR Thomas
