Cameras Night Vision

I have 5 cameras, and have the Night Vision toggled off on 3 of them, about 3 or 4 days ago the NV started coming on even though they are turned off. I have tried deleting the cameras and reinstalling them and reset the router and cleared the cache in the app...all with no success

user_mg307. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, and I appreciate all the steps you’ve already taken. Since the issue continues after reinstalling and resetting, it may be related to a recent update. Try toggling Night Vision on and back off to refresh the setting. If it persists, let us know.

Yes, I have tried to toggle it on and off several times in each camera did not work. I saw the app update. That is why I cleared the cache on the app. Still did not do any good.

I'm having this same issue. I've tried all the steps I can think of - but my camera remains with NV active no matter what I do. Is there an official fix for this? 

Neither my phone or app have a pending update to try and resolve as mentioned in this post.

@Aconlo000​ If your phone or app have updated recently, I would suggest the steps I took, in order, If android, go to settings > apps> scroll to Xfinity> click storage and clear cache and then data> then uninstall app> reinstall app and sign back in

Hi there, @Aconlo000 ! Thank you for reaching out, I'm truly sorry for the trouble you are having with your cameras. This issue is often caused by a temporary backend glitch or a recent firmware update. In many cases, you can resolve it by performing a settings refresh in the Xfinity app followed by a hard restart of the affected camera.

 

Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try:

 

1. Refresh the Night Vision Setting
Since the app already shows Night Vision as disabled, try forcing the setting to resync:

Open the Xfinity app and go to Home.
Select the affected camera and tap the gear icon in the upper-right corner.
Toggle Night Vision to On and wait a few seconds.
Toggle it back to Off.
Restart the camera.

 

2. Perform a Hard Restart
Clearing the app cache or reinstalling the app doesn't always reset the camera itself.

Unplug the camera from power.
Wait about 30 seconds.
Plug it back in.
Allow 3–5 minutes for the camera to fully reconnect to WiFi and sync with the service.

 

3. Check for Environmental Triggers
Sometimes the camera's light sensor can be affected by surrounding conditions:

Verify that nearby lights (streetlights, porch lights, TVs, lamps, etc.) aren't intermittently affecting the camera.

 

If the camera is pointed through a window, infrared light can reflect off the glass and cause Night Vision to activate unexpectedly or continuously cycle on and off. If you've already tried these steps and the issue persists across multiple cameras, please let us know. That information can help determine whether this may be related to a broader equipment or firmware issue. 😊
