Model: Tapo C310  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.5.1

I have two C310 cameras.

 

One of them works just fine but the other has a problem at night. It looks like there is rain or snow moving quickly by the camera during the night, almost like driveing in to a snowstorm.

 

We have tried resetting the camera, updating firmware, and such to no avail. There are no light sources by the camera that should mess with it in any way.
