Night vision just stopped working on my D130 doorbell. It is only 5 months old. Tried power cycling, rebooting, updating to latest firmware nothing resolves it.

see before and after images, note both are in Night Mode.

@JoMoer

Try to switch the doorbell to night mode (infrared mode) manually. It is likely a hardware issue if the doorbell doesn't switch to the infrared mode in this way. In this case, you may contact the retailer or local TP-Link support to proceed with the warranty.

@JoMoer

Try to manually switch the doorbell to night mode, see if it works. > tap the liveview screen, then click the Auto option in the pop-up toolbar to switch video mode for the doorbell.

Which night mode is your doorbell set to? (doorbell Device Settings page > Video & Display > Night Mode Settings.)

Try actively simulating a nighttime environment to see if you can reproduce the issue. For example, cover the doorbell with a box and check if it automatically switches to the configured night mode.

@Wayne-TP I have set the doorbell to both Auto and Night Mode, both give the same poor visibility.

Night Mode setting is Smart, if by any chance something is detected in the poor visiblity then the unit White LED switches and the display becomes full colour as expected, that works.
I can reproduce the issue EVERY time, if I cover the unit is switches to night and I cant see anything (since Im covering the unit). But every night I get the same thing. I suspect the hardware is faulty and you should get is back.

Since it is only 5-months old can I return the device to Amazon for a replacement?
