Model: Tapo C520WS  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Due to the extremely dusty environment I have put camera into a Perspex box. When in night mode the built in infrared illuminators cause severe reflection on the inside of Perspex screen. Impossible to see anything. Would like to keep camera in night mode but have infrared leds turned off and use simple external infrared light to provide the illumination required. Any way turn built in IR leds off.  Thank you

Hi,
Currently, there is no option to turn off the infrared lights on the camera when it works in night mode. For the feature request, you can vote and leave your usage scenario on the thread "Request: Option to Disable IR Light in Night Mode" for evaluation.

Typically, we do not suggest placing the camera behind glass/window since the infrared lights may cause reflection when the camera works in night mode, resulting in blurry and unclear images.


Best Regards
