  @Peeledeye,

I unfortunately do not have a floodlight setup right now, so I cannot go and check the exact settings - but this sounds an awful lot like it is related to either the nightvision or white light settings of the camera. Make sure that you go into your device's display settings and make sure that the night vision settings are set as expected.

 

It may also be a part of the C720s designated floodlight scheduling, which has a sunrise/sunset setting and would not generate an event in the feed. It is found under Device Settings > Floodlight Settings > Floodlight Schedule

  @Riley_S  thanks  Yes I figured this has something to do with my setting that the floodlight be activated at sunset - but not without a detected event which is what is happening now.  TP link Support asked me to unplug and re-plug and see if that helped and it did not ...they now are suggesting I do a hard reset with the device itself  This is the TC53 BTW- from Walmart-  that choice wasn't in the support menu from what I could rell   Thanks again
