An electronic device receives a first plurality of images of a scene captured by an image sensor of an electronic device, receives an ambient light level proximate to the electronic device, and determines whether the ambient light level is less than a first threshold value. In accordance with a determination that the ambient light level is less than the first threshold value, the electronic device detects motion in the scene based on one or more of the first plurality of images. In accordance with detecting motion in the scene, the electronic device receives a second plurality of images of the scene captured by the image sensor of the electronic device, forms a composite image from two or more of the second plurality of images, and causes the composite image to be presented for display on a user device.
