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.

@Solla-topee Good morning, is it possible to get an update on the status of this request? Will it be taken into consideration?
Many of us are waiting for a response.
Thanks to the entire TP-Link support team.

I have TAPO TC65, I need to know if I can buy more of these cameras or should look for other vendors

I would like to request a scheduled Day/Night mode feature. Currently, AUTO mode does not work correctly in real-world conditions with artificial lighting (e.g. street lamps). In my case, the camera switches to Night Mode too early, causing overexposed (white) image, while Day Mode provides a much clearer picture until the lights turn off. Disabling Night Mode is not a solution, because it is still needed later at night. Please add the ability to define a custom schedule (e.g. Day Mode until midnight, then Night Mode). This would significantly improve usability and solve multiple real-world scenarios.

@Lauda
Did you find a replacement for Tapo camera that supports Schedule DAY / NIGHT function
Lauda wrote
+1 Yes! I have a light source near my camera that causes reflection which doesn’t allow camera to prpoperly switch to night mode. Since it’s been 2 years this feature request was suggested and still no updates, I am already looking for a replacement (not tapo!) camera for my use case.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your feedback. For the schedule day/night mode request, while we don't have specific details on whether this feature can be added to the product or when it might be, we'll keep logging the feature request and pass it along to the relevant team for evaluation.
Here's how you can check for product availability and purchase options:
1. Check Product Availability:
Visit your local TP-Link website and search for the model you want:
• If the model is listed, it's either already released or will be soon
• If it's labeled as "Coming Soon", it indicates a planned release in your country/region
• If you can't find it, there are no near-term plans for release in your area
2. Where to Buy:

I bought this thinking it had this feature, but it doesn't.
I already returned it. Don't buy this kind of fake/fraud device, guys.
