You can control the floodlight on your Camera from the menu at the top right corner of your Home + Security app. A triple switch allows you to turn it on, off or put it in auto mode.

You can configure auto mode from the settings, where you can decide if it should stay on all night or only turn on when the Camera detects people, cars or animals. You can also define the intensity of the light.

Floodlight behavior

The floodlight turns on for a few seconds when the Camera is powered.

Light stays on when:

• At night, there is activity in front of the Camera.
• A user manually turned it on from the Home + Security app.
• There is an issue with the microSD card that prevents the Camera from working. Learn how to fix the situation here.

Light glows on and off when:

• The Camera is in pairing mode. Pairing mode lasts about 15 minutes and afterwards the Camera goes back to its normal behavior. The Camera starts pairing mode automatically when it’s powered and hasn’t been configured yet. You can start pairing mode manually by showing the Installation QR code to the Camera.

Light is red when:

• The Camera is in night mode.
  CAUTION: Note that even though light intensity might seem weak, a powerful infrared light beam is being emitted. Please do not look directly to the light when you are close to it.

Light is off when:

• There is enough ambient light so the Camera does not need additional light sources.
• The Camera is not powered.
• A user manually turned it off from the Home + Security app.
