Random flashing spotlights Tapo C720
Hi. Recently purchased a Tapo C720 to replace a eufy driveway camera/spotlight and works great expect at random intervals the spotlights start rapid flickering and have to shut the camera off to reset. Occurred first about 30 minutes the after reset about 9 hours later with no issues prior and works great after reset. I had no similar issues with the prior camera. Any suggestions or trouble shooting is appreciated.

NEVERMIND - its back to flashing again. I promise it wasn't flashing for a good 5 minutes or so.
Ok I think I figured it out on mine - I believe that the motion sensor is the issue.
I disabled the floodlight auto turning on if it sensed an object in the motion zones and only used the camera person dection to activate and boom, the flood light is no longer flickering.
I have a tree near mine so maybe its causing the overload on activiating the motion zone.
I will reenable the motion zone but decrease sensitivity to see if i can find a nice balance that works any.

I returned the flashing one for refund and orhers have been fine.
Motion recognition is poor it has reported a pigeon as a person lol and always says cats are people too 😞

that stinks. I have their smaller camera the c120 and was using it to cover my driveway and it's been pretty good this far that's why I picked this up to have something more official.
