Solution [Tapo C325WB V2] Cannot Enjoy Full-Color Night Vision Without Activating Spotlights
This Article Applies To:
Tapo C325WB V2
Phenomenon Description:
The Tapo C325WB V2 lacks a “Spotlight Off” option on its Night Mode Settings page, unlike the Tapo C325WB V1. As a result, users are unable to enjoy full-color night vision without activating spotlights. Below are the comparative images of the Night Mode Settings page for both versions.
Workaround:
A new firmware adds the “Spotlight Off” mode to the Tapo C325WB V2. Before the official release, community users can have early access to the new firmware. If you would like to try it out, please send a private message to @Solla-topee with the following information.
1. Forum ID 852500 + A brief description of your usage scenario and why you want the “Spotlight Off” mode.
2. The MAC address of the Tapo C325WB V2.
Before the Upgrade:
(1) Please be sure you have read the Beta Test Agreement before upgrading the Pre-release firmware!
(2) How to update the firmware of the Tapo devices on the Tapo App
(3) Firmware downgrade is not supported. When a new official version is released, updating it will overwrite the beta version.

@Solla-topee I think one of my cameras was put into beta mode a few months back. It removed the spotlight but also removed the infrared option too so non of the other settings do anything.
I had no idea about the beta test it just appeared on the camera one day.
The picture quality is no where near as good as the original V1. The sky is fuzzy green which makes the stars difficult to see
ive included a photo with comparison to help with creating any tweaks needed for the update
