Automation does not control the light properly
Camera is acceptable. Automation... doesn't actually work. In Homekit or their own app, I tell it it when dark out to turn the light on when it sees PEOPLE. It just turns the light on the first time it catches movement from anything and leaves the light on all night. And it turns the light on when it detects people... during the day.

Thankfully I did catch him walking to his truck carrying my property... but it took me a solid HOUR to find that.
