Note that there are two LEDs under the Camera lens. The one on top indicates the status of the Camera. The one at the bottom is used for infrared night vision. It turns on when it is dark and looks red to the human eye.
The colors below correspond to the status LED also called color LED and can indicate a variety of things.
Note that in order to protect the user’s privacy, any Camera configured with HomeKit will turn on the status LED in red when the Camera is active. The LED will be turned off when the Camera is disabled or turned off. If you prefer to keep the LED off at all times, go to the settings page of your Camera in Apple’s Home app and turn the “Camera Status Light” option off.
