C425 camera - night mode spotlights
Hi there
I have a Tapo C425 camera. If I have night mode set to colour mode every time I open the camera in the app the lights turn on. If I put it into infrared mode this doesn't happen but then the lights won't turn on if there is motion detected.
Will the C425 get smart mode? Ideally I want the lights to come on when there is motion detected but I don't want the lights to come on every time I open the camera on the app.
thanks!

@Wayne-TP Please add this feature in the future Firmware. An option to turn on spot light when motion is detected. Thank you.

Hi @Jonesy31 and @Wayne-TP
I just installed the same Tapo C425 cameras and you actually can activate the lamp when motion is detected. Just set the alarm to 'Lamp' instead of sound, which triggers the lights to go on.
One thing that annoys me though is that the lamps will then flash (on/off/on/off) for the duration you have programmed.
Would be great if this can be set to static lamp on/off for the duration of the alarm when motion is detected! Might be an easier fix than creating a fully new feature.
