The key here is whether the camera's spotlight can be controlled via automation. And yes, Tapo C720 does support this feature.

Thanks for your reply. 

 

The C720 was given to me as a birthday gift from my son (who bought it from Amazon Australia).

 

There was no hardware version written anywhere on the box or unit.

 

During the Tapo App install it asked me what hardware version it is, and I entered V1.

 

The firmware updated automatically to the latest version successfully.

 

Does that mean the hardware version of the unit I have is definitely V1?

The hardware version selection step appears during the initial device setup and only affects the configuration process. For instance, if V1 devices are configured via Bluetooth while V2 devices use WiFi, choosing the wrong version could cause the setup to fail.

Since your device is now successfully set up and working, it means you likely selected the correct version. If you want to confirm your device’s exact hardware version, you can check it by going to the camera’s live view page, tapping the Device Settings (gear icon) in the top-right corner, and then selecting Device Info.
