Schedule day/night (IR) mode
I'd like to be able to set a schedule for the day/night (IR) mode on my cameras.
As of today I can only choose between AUTO, DAY or NIGHT in the Tapo app.
Under some conditions the cameras don't switch to NIGHT mode because there is a bright light somewhere in the frame. Although the picture is good in DAY
mode even in dim conditions, I've noticed that the image quality increases substantially when forced to NIGHT mode.
Im running the latest updates for the app and the cameras.

@Kelmi I agree... with all the suggestions and requests posted on here, they will surely just apply these ideas to their new units rather than a fix for the existing ones

Check the date of this threat - two years old. TP-link is not going to implement this kind of simple features as they want to sell yet another generation of their HW with a little bit better "starlight" capabilities. And yet another and yet another generation. Scheduled IR would decrease their HW sales. So, not going to happen and users, which have e.g some background lights in the garden are going to suffer.

I voted for this too as I also have this issue.

Sadly the auto mode didn't work well for my case. As you can see my drive way is completely covered in the shadow, but the night mode is not engaged.

I completely agree. The streetlights reflecting on the screen prevent it from automatically switching to night mode. I currently switch it manually every day.
