Model: Tapo D230S1  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.19

Hello there,

I have a tapo D230 doorbell from few months and i was really enjoying it, but 2 months ago the problem started.

During night time the image is too dark, like the IR sensor is not turning on.

 

I tried to clean, reset, charge and reinstall the doorbell, but the problem still exists.

 

When I turn on the doorbell light On & Off the night mode is turning on and the image is good. After closing and reopening the app the problem occures again.

 

From outside it looks that the IR is working.

 

 

From the shop service they told me to bring the doorbell,  hub, cables, and the mountain brackets and they will send it for service. The problem is that I have other Tapo devices connected to the HUB and they will stop working. And the service will take 30 days+.

 

If anyone else have the same problem and solution for it please let me know.

 

Waiting for reply.

For your case, it is recommended to replace the device, it might be a hardware issue if the doorbell camera does not switch to night mode automatically when it is dark.

  @L_Nikolov  did you manage to sort out or did you have to return as I have the same problem I can force the ir by switching to day and back to auto or night but if I go back to live view later on the ir is off.

  @Cuz55 I haven't managed to solve this problem. The store doesn't want to send only the doorbell for replacement or check. They want the hub as well. I have many things connected to the hub and if I replace it I have to reconfigure everything. Sorry at the moment I can't help you with solution.
