Answer: When the infrared LEDs around the lens are on, it helps the camera see clearly at night. While our eyes slightly see this IR light, the camera certainly can see it. IR light reflected by nearby objects such as walls, roofs and other light-colored objects will reflect light into the lens. If this occurs, move your camera to reduce the reflection and check again using the app to confirm the performance.
