Request: Option to Disable IR Light in Night Mode
Request: Option to Disable IR Light in Night Mode
The red dots of the IR light, while potentially useful for alerting anyone approaching, can be too conspicuous and inadvertently reveal the camera’s location. I understand that these red dots cannot be turned off as they are integral to the IR light’s function.
Therefore, I would like to request an option to turn off the IR light in night mode.
In situations with sufficient ambient light, additional illumination from the IR LEDs may not be necessary.
Disabling them would also offer energy savings (around 1.5W in my case). This could be a significant saving over time, especially if multiple cameras are in use.
Additionally, this feature would allow users to position cameras indoors behind windows for nighttime surveillance without the glare caused by IR reflection.
I am not certain if this feature is technically feasible.
However, the ability to choose between discretion and night clarity would provide greater flexibility for TP-Link camera users.

Yes I would want this ...
This is an option is on other manufactures outdoor cameras.
It allows for other external lighting to be use to prevent overexposure of the image from items close to the camera and glass/refective items.
The triggers of shadows would be seen by the user and then select Internal IR if no other light source is used.
Allowing the user to also trigger flood lighting through the automation function which is available on the app.

I've only had my C225 for less the 24 hours but as soon as the camera enabled night vision mode it became unusable as it could only see itself. I will try to reposition the camera to improve the situation but the ability to disable night vision would be a simple fix and the most desirable option. Especially if the camera is unable to tell which option provides the better image, then a user needs to be able to make that decision for the camera.
