@Solla-topee ,

Thank you fir the reply, but none of the 3 options allow the light to be permanently on when motion is detected at night.

A flashing light is still the only option.

This is not really of much use if I want to capture an image of someone on my property.

I have to ask if indeed my Tapo has this capability, from where I'm sitting, it does not or is faulty

I have attatched 3 screenshots of the variuos settings and camera information you requested.

  @Solla-topee 

So you are effectively tell ing me that the spotlight cannot be set to constant when an event has been detected.

If so please add the number of returns so that i can return the camera as this was the whole purpose of purchasing one in the first place

Hi @Billythewhippet,

I can see in Camera alarm configuration screen you set light alarm type.

As far as I remember for that time when tried this function, light alarm means flashing/blinking white light.

I can imagine that the mentioned function can overlap the night mode setting and the built in white light will flashing instead of continuous light.

Could you please try to change the alarm settings?

  @SecCamFan Its looking more and more like I have a faulty unit as detection has now  become non existent. I will try a master reset first before I contact TP link
