Hello. I want to upgrade my old IPC-HDW2231R-ZS 2MP with a newer model with a spotlight. I tried the Amcrest IP8M-2779EW-AI, but it didn't look good at night when viewing mainstream. If I switch to the substream, the image improves. Any suggestions. I just want a decent camera any model that has spotlight.
Replacing old camera Suggestion

Post a screenshot of video settings for both streams.
FWIW, that Amcrest IP8M-2779EW-AI 4K/8MP camera has only a 1/2.8" sensor, more suitable for a 2MP camera. Ideally, an 8MP camera would have a much larger 1/1.2" sensor.

thanks I purchase the IPC-Color4K-T but I can't figure out to only turn on the spot light when motion is detected. Right now it stays on 24hrs. any suggestions? The amcrest I returned had this feature.
