Hi,
Looking at your image, I believe your camera is a battery-powered dual-lens model. If that’s the case, the night vision options you’re seeing are completely normal. Battery cameras have only two modes, because they rely on a PIR sensor to wake up. When no motion is detected, the camera stays in a low-power sleep mode.
If you want the spotlight to turn on when motion is detected, please select Color Mode. This way, the spotlight will only activate when the camera is woken up by motion — and stay off the rest of the time.
One thing to note: when you manually open the app to view the live feed, the camera wakes up immediately, so the spotlight will turn on at that moment.
I hope this clears things up! Let me know if you have any more questions.

The light will turn off automatically when the camera goes back to sleep. So once it enters sleep mode again, the light should go out.
