How to Disable V4 Camera Spotlight

I recently obtained a V4 camera with window mount. It works very well, and at night, I was able to see a stray cat approaching our birdfeeder. But then the spotlight turned on and reflected off of the inside of the window glass. How can I disable the spotlight, as the image was fine without it

Go to your cam’s live stream view, tap the gear icon upper right, tap Spotlight Settings, set Spotlight Control to “Manual”.

Thanks, I will give this a try.

Under Spotlight Settings, I did not find a Manual option

I noticed that, too. Try :gear: Settings âžś Spotlight Settings âžś under ACTIVATE WHEN CAMERA DETECTS make sure Motion is toggled off.

Also, since you mentioned using the camera at night, you may want to check :gear: Settings ➜ Advanced Settings ➜ Night Vision Mode. If you have adequate light outside the window, you may want to set this to Off so that you’re using color night vision and not getting reflections from the camera’s IR lights off the window glass.

Additionally, on this same screen, you can toggle Camera Status Light to the Off position to further minimize the possibility of reflected light.

If you’re running Wyze app version 3.0.x or earlier, in the “Activate When Camera Detects” section, toggle off “Motion”.
