Would need more info about the camera. However most real Dual Light cameras will work correctly. That is the camera is in IR until there is an Event and then the camera will go from IR to White Leds and record the event in full color at night.. Some cameras that have extra options can be setup rather then full time white on to flash the led and keep recording in B/W. Normally when it is said to be Smart Dual Light that is going to be IR at night until event and then White leds on to record event in Color.
What is the model of camera?

Thanks, I believe one can set the white light to work only when an event occurs in a certain perimeter (well, it depends on the camera).
I can see it can also be scheduled to an IR or white (warm light) mode.

White light coming on when motion is detected is not possible with the 2449 series. You either have white light on or infrared on at night.
It is possible with the 3449 series where the camera can be in infrared and the white light come on with motion.

Most of these that say Smart Dual Light or TIOC have dual illuminators (IR and White) .....but some have different features on how light is activated as @wittaj mentions.
So some are "Smarter" than others
Example 3449 series. White Light LEDs can be activated by IVS Tripwire using Smart Illumination.

Thought the 2449 was the Pro version? What I know of the 3449 and looking it up says it has smaller sensor? I mean maybe I didn't look at the right pro version?
Off what I seen on the data sheet from OP that one says Pro with 1/1.8 in sensor?
Just asking?

Yeah OK found the right one that has the right sensor.. TO the OP just keep in mind when you are looking up your cameras.. It can be tricky to find good cameras at times.. Here is a Datasheet for the 1./1.8in 3449... IT is much better camera..
If you need closer focus capability, a lens with a shorter focal length (wider field of view) is more important than just a lower f-number
F/1.0 would have better ability at low light then say a 1.6 or 2.0. Would want to find a camera with a good mm like 2.8 to 4mm at f/1 would have in most cases a better closer distance view and slightly blurry background then say a 6mm or 12mm lens with a 1.6f-stop. So to be clear, no matter the f/stop the 12mm lens can see better farther away, then a 2.8mm that would have a better closer range view again no matter the fstop of the camera lens..
