Having the cameras plugged into AC power means they're streaming all the time. Night time would require the IR LEDs to be lit so the video wouldn't be black. The use of AC power provides the 3 second lookback and the optional CVR, both of which require the camera to stream all the time.

dalekr,
Is this happening on all of your cameras or just one?

I'm having the exact same issue. However, the problem is not limited to cameras on power as all my cameras run on battery. This seems to have been inroduced with the latest firmware update. I'm finding the LED spotlight runs for an extended period - way after the motion has stopped. It seems to run for the full 5 minutes that these cameras seem to be limited to - although I haven't timed it exactly. I found that I can get it to turn off if I go into Live View on the iPhone App. At this point the camera seems to come to its senses and turns the spotlight off. I'm finding that I don't get any recording of the video in this situation either so I can't report on the length of the video. I noticed this on 2 of my 10 cameras - but I only checked 2 last night (so 100% hit rate there). I triggered them about 5 times and the extended LED spotlight came on 4 times. I will have to do more testing (and I'm hoping that this just magically goes away) - but initial indications are that this firmware update is not without it's problems either.

Mine aren't powered so I can't test but these are LEDs which have VERY long lifespans. They very likely won't burn out. Also, don't forget that powered cameras are always streaming which means night vision is employed when the light level drops. Otherwise, you'd see blackness in the dark.

Yes mine seem to be ok now as well. I was having this problem immediately after the firmware update was applied - but I haven't seen this problem for a few days now. It may have been rebooting the hubs after the firmware update that helped to solve the problem. At any rate it's all working now.

Red lights glowing on all cameras, this did not happen on battery power and would shut off within a few seconds.
When on live view on my porch camera I can see IR light shining from my lawn camera, even though it should be off.
This morning one of my camera's video streams had a pink tint during daylight. Was able to fix it by turning the camera off and on and restarting the smart hub.
Can we please get a firmware fix?
