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.

@Andy1706 the tapo cameras, such as Tapo C225 V2, C120 V1, with an invisible IR LED may be suited for you.
