Hi,
Please confirm the following information for further analysis.
  1. Which mode(Auto or Night) have you selected on the camera's Live View > Video mode?

 

  2. Could you please send us a video showing that the camera's spotlight is on, but the Live View page is black and white when the Smart mode is selected? You can upload the video to your cloud server (such as Google Drive), generate a download link, and send it to me (@Solla-topee) via a private message.
 

  3. Please refer to the instructions below to collect the camera log.
  How to get the log of Tapo Camera 

 

  4. Send me the camera's MAC address via a private message.

 

Best Regards

Hi,
Your problem phenomenon is unclear; please confirm the following information for further assistance.


  1. What light is always turning on in Night mode? Is the camera's status LED or the spotlight?
  2. Do you want the spotlight to turn on constantly when the camera works in the Night mode? If not, please describe your usage scenario and inquiries in detail.


Best Regards

Hi @ParthXD3,

Did you try this setting?

Here you can permanently set night or day mode.

Maybe your setting is night mode that can cause b&w video even in case of good light conditions.
