Option to turn on IR according to a schedule

Firmware Version: Ver. 1.3.5 Build 260323 Rel. 35521n

Hello, I would like to request a firmware (app) update to control the IR illumination. The issue is that the system does not switch to IR mode at night, as there is a streetlight in the camera’s field of view that illuminates the wall of the monitored building. As a result, the area next to the building is not clearly visible. The ideal solution would be to add the option to set a time range for turning the IR illuminator on and off. Currently, the only options are ON/OFF/AUTO, and there is no option to select a specific time. Believe me, I really miss this feature. Best regards, Petr_H
