Night colour mode - spotlight always on

Saturday

Tags: #Motion Detection #Night Mode

Model: Tapo C410 KIT

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.3.2

I'm trying to setup my camera so that at night the spotlight comes on with detection. If I select colour mode, the spotlight is always on. IR mode, no spotlight at all. Is this correct? Seems like spotlight only on with detection would make most sense with a battery camera. Any ideas?

Hi,
In your situation, the following article will help you.

If you want the Tapo C410 to turn on the spotlight when it detects events, we suggest selecting the Full-Color Mode. In this mode, when awakened by an event or app access, the camera will turn on the spotlight for full-color images, and it will turn off the spotlight when entering sleep mode.

Best Regards
