2022 Ring doorbell - can't see at night

My camera does not have color dark mode. Once it gets dark out the only thing I can see besides blackness is the duplex across the street's porch lights. I was irritated but just let it go bc it's just a bad spot for the doorbell.. but tonight the first 2 times I'd open live feed there was a second or 2 of being able to see everything perfectly before it goes to black again. Is it just bc it's taking a second to figure out it's dark? Or is there something I can do to be able to see at night? I've followed the steps to turn on/off color night mode, but my device doesn't have an option to toggle it.
