Hi Friends,
I have an EZVIZ Husky Dome, with built-in IR light. The problem is poor mechanical design, so at night the IR light bounces off the inside of the dome, rendering the picture useless. I can turn the IR light off, and all is well if I use an external IR light. But I don't want to leave the external IR light on 24 hours. If I could poll the camera from a Raspberry Pi or something, to detemine when the camera switched from night mode to day mode, I could use this as a cue to turn on the external IR light. Does anyone knpw what command I need to send to retrieve the day/night status? I'm guessing an HTTP GET or similar. Thanks.

The external IR doesnt have a light sensor? All the ones Ive seen do, daylight they shut off...
