Note that the little red light beneath the LED is the infrared sensor, which is activated at night. The privacy shutter will still prevent the camera from recording if it's closed, even if the infrared sensor is on.
Hi evanpearl, Yep, the red light just means there was a recent alarm. Once you clear the warning on the Keypad (hit the (!) on the right of the screen), that red light should disappear. Arming or disarming should clear it too!
A red light often indicates that the camera is recording or in an active state. However, this can vary depending on the model and manufacturer.
, by simplisafe_admin. The status light located on the front of your Outdoor Camera indicates key information about your camera. At a glance, it can tell you if your camera is recording, if it isn't connected to Wi-Fi, or so much more.

Cameras also have a status indicator in Command to show the camera's status at a glance: Orange status indicator: Camera is offline. Blue status indicator: Camera is updating firmware. Green status indicator: Camera is online.
Does not (necessarily) mean someone is watching. If you disable event recording you'll see it stops doing it. Red for 5-10 secs then back to blue is an event being recorded. Red for longer than that is someone watching.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight, a defective IR filter, or issues with a camera's cut-filter can cause issues with video discoloration. Most commonly reported is the presentation of a pink tint to the overall camera image or around the edges of the video stream.
When you access your camera through a connected monitor or interface, look for recording icons or text alerts. These might appear as a red dot, a traditional 'rec' symbol, or even explicit text saying 'recording. ' These indicators are a straightforward way to confirm that your camera is capturing footage.
Answer. If the camera is presenting a pink image (as shown in the image above), it usually means the IR cut filter is not working properly. The IR cut filter is an internal mechanism in the camera that blocks infrared light emissions into the sensor during the daytime.
If there's ever an emergency, you can trigger an alarm by pressing the Panic Button down for 2 seconds. You'll know that the Panic Button has sent the signal to our monitoring center* when the red LED on the upper right corner flashes.
When the batteries are failing, the camera LED flashes Red 5 or 6 times after the Blue recording light goes out.
One of the simplest methods to tell if a CCTV camera is on is through a visual inspection. Look for signs like LED lights or subtle movements in the camera. Many modern cameras have indicator lights that glow or blink when the camera is active.
The problem, at least for photographers, is that not all of the light is absorbed; some is reflected back to the camera lens. When the light is reflected, it illuminates the rich blood supply of the connective tissue at the back of the eye and produces the red color you see in pictures.
If you see the lights turn red, it means that the security camera is on. However, the security camera blinking red light is not always real. A solid red light on security camera in low-lit environments means that a real security camera is on.
Indeed, the red camera icon in Microsoft Teams indeed indicates that a meeting is being recorded. Typically, when a meeting is recorded, all participants should see an on-screen notification, and only one person can record in a meeting at a time.
The Significance of Blinking Lights
When we're trying to determine if a security camera is recording, one of the first things we should look for is a blinking light. Many cameras feature a small LED that flashes when the device is actively capturing footage.
Many hidden cameras have red or green LEDs that either blink or stay illuminated in low-light conditions.
Another way to identify intersections with red light cameras is to use a radar detector or dash cam. Radar detectors help drivers identify a variety of road hazards including speed traps, speed cameras, red light cameras, and traffic flow changes.
When the blue light is solid, your camera is in working mode, while a blinking blue light indicates standby mode with successful Wi-Fi connectivity. This is a positive sign that your camera is ready to operate as expected. On the other hand, a red light is related to a Wi-Fi connection failure.
In a normal state, a blinking or flashing blue light indicates that the Outdoor Camera is sending data, specifically actively livestreaming or recording to your timeline. In very rare instances the Outdoor Camera may become unresponsive after reconnecting its power cable or recharging the battery.
The best security cameras are equipped with night vision, but having a built-in light not only helps to improve image quality but also shines a light on what's going on inside or outside of your home.
