Hi, so I got this Dahua DVR XVR1B08H and got a new camera (also Dahua DH-HAC-HFW1509TLM(-A)-LED), and was happy until evening came and I noticed it was the only one in colour.

I went outside and noticed it had a light brighter than a streetlight.

Which is fine but I also checked it uses 6.4W when lit. The data sheet does not say how much it consumes when not lit.

Anyway, I went to Dahua settings and tried to locate where can I turn the motion detection on. But it seems to be gone, the interface after firmware update to 4.001 (to acomodate the new camera) does not seem to have one.

I found on Google that the light can be manually turned on and off in DMSS app with no luck either.

Could anybody give me a hint?

Edit: I do not seem to be able to turn it on or off. I found the motion detection on the actual device (I had been using Web interface up until then) but it does not affect the light and I read it is not advisable anyway due to exposure. So I would like to turn it off permanently to see how it looks without light but it does not seem to be possible either.
