Hi,
Generally, if the Tapo C325WB V2 works in extremely low-light or completely dark conditions, the camera will switch to Infrared mode or turn on the spotlight depending on the settings in the camera's Night Mode Settings page to display a clear image.

Thank you very much for your feedback and the description of your usage scenario. I'll log them and forward them to the relevant department for evaluation.

Best Regards

Hi,
When the Tapo C325WB V1 operates under extremely low-light or completely dark conditions, the live view page of the camera may fail to display a clear image if the spotlight is turned off, potentially resulting in a completely black screen. To ensure a clear live view image, we have optimized the Tapo C325WB V2 by introducing an Infrared mode. When the Infrared mode is selected on the camera's Night Mode Settings page, in overly dark conditions, the camera can automatically switch to Infrared mode to capture clear black-and-white images, preventing the omission of detection events and recordings due to overly dim scenes.

In this case, thank you for describing the usage scenario regarding why you want the camera to enable full color mode without a spotlight. I'll log it and forward it to the relevant department for evaluation.

Best Regards
