1. Ensure that the camera is in an area with adequate lighting. Some cameras switch to black and white mode automatically in low-light conditions to enhance visibility;
2. Access the camera settings through the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home APP to check if there is an option to adjust the color settings or switch between day and night modes;
3. Gently clean the camera lens to ensure there is no dirt or obstruction affecting the image quality;
4. Power off the camera, wait a few moments, and then power it back on to see if the issue is resolved;
5. Check if there is a firmware update available for your camera. Updates can fix bugs and improve functionality. This can be done through the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home APP;
6. Ensure the camera is connected to a stable network. A poor connection can affect the video feed;
7. Place the camera in a different location or adjust its angle to see if the issue persists under different conditions;
8. As a last resort, you can perform a factory reset on your camera.
