No, it stays in day mode.

Execute in:

/etc/init.d/S96autonight stop
/usr/sbin/autonight.sh

And without closing the console, perform the actions that lead to the problem. Post the output here.

Picture is grayscale after restarting majestic? What is the value night_enabled in output http://<cam_ip>/metrics

[danielk117]

No, pictures is colored after restarting majestic. Value of night_enabled is 0.

Very strange. My camera has a completely different behavior. Let's compare actions:

1. /etc/init.d/S96autonight stop
2. Manually turn on night mode (Web interface -> Preview -> Push "Toggle night mode" button)
3. killall -1 majestic (argument -1 is important)
4. View picture color and night_enabled value (http://<cam_ip>/metrics)

3. killall -1 majestic (argument -1 is important)

you're right. i was using killall majestic and restarted it manually. discribed your way, I'am getting a colored picture but night_enabled value is 1.

This is probably a bug in majestic https://github.com/OpenIPC/majestic/issues/84
