Feature request - turning off IR LEDs

[vadimbz]

Would it be possible to implement subj? I'm using the camera through glass, and not being able to get rid of IR defeats the purpose. Or is there a way to do it with ssh?

There are 3 params that we could test.

[root@GK]# . /mnt/mmc/sonoff-hack/script/env.sh
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="InfraredLamp";'
|InfraredLamp|2

Maybe we could try 0 or 1...

[root@GK]# . /mnt/mmc/sonoff-hack/script/env.sh
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="LED1Mode";'
|LED1Mode|1
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="LED2Mode";'
|LED2Mode|1

[roleoroleo]

Again:

[root@GK]# . /mnt/mmc/sonoff-hack/script/env.sh
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="IRCUTMode";'
|IRCUTMode|2
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRCUTStartTime";'
|NoIRCUTStartTime|19:00:00
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRCUTEndTime";'
|NoIRCUTEndTime|07:00:00
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRLEDStartTime";'
|NoIRLEDStartTime|07:00:00
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRLEDEndTime";'
|NoIRLEDEndTime|19:00:00

Camera has to be rebooted after each parameter change, right?

[vadimbz]

If possible, I would like to keep monochrome night mode, and turn off just IR

I don't know but I think it has to be rebooted.

[vadimbz]

I'm sorry, my knowledge of SSH is cursory, how exactly do I edit these? I'm getting the same output as you've shown, but I can't change values at any point.

[roleoroleo]

Ok, it's a sql client. There is a db with a table "t_sys_param" that contains all settings. With SELECT and UPDATE you can change a row in the table. For example:

sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=0 where c_param_name="InfraredLamp";'

set the value of the parameter InfraredLamp to 0. You should try different values. At the moment I tried the following values:

• 0 IR on with light or dark
• 1 IR off with light and on with dark
• 2 same as 1

[vadimbz]

[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="LED1Mode";'
|LED1Mode|0
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="LED2Mode";'
|LED2Mode|0

No dice, IR still on

[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="LED1Mode";'
|LED1Mode|2
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="LED2Mode";'
|LED2Mode|2

Ditto - IR still on I'll try other parameters

[vadimbz]

[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRCUTStartTime";'
|NoIRCUTStartTime|00:00:00
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRCUTEndTime";'
|NoIRCUTEndTime|00:01:00
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRLEDStartTime";'
|NoIRLEDStartTime|00:01:00
[root@GK]# sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'select * from t_sys_param where c_param_name="NoIRLEDEndTime";'
|NoIRLEDEndTime|00:00:00

No effect - IR still on. Are these correct queries (straight quotes)?

sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value="00:00:00" where c_param_name="NoIRCUTStartTime";'
sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value="00:01:00" where c_param_name="NoIRCUTEndTime";'
sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value="00:01:00" where c_param_name="NoIRLEDStartTime";'
sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value="00:00:00" where c_param_name="NoIRLEDEndTime";'

[roleoroleo]

Yes, the queries are correct.

[vadimbz]

Then it seems I'm out of options... other than wait for IRCUTMode to somehow kick in.

[sanderbrauns]

Not sure what the settings mean. But with these settings the IR leds seem to turn off:

sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=2 where c_param_name="InfraredLamp";' sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=1 where c_param_name="LED1Mode";' sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=1 where c_param_name="LED2Mode";' sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=1 where c_param_name="IRCUTMode";' sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=0 where c_param_name="NoIRCUTStartTime";' sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=0 where c_param_name="NoIRCUTEndTime";' sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=0 where c_param_name="NoIRLEDStartTime";' sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'update t_sys_param set c_param_value=0 where c_param_name="NoIRLEDEndTime";'

Didn't work for me =(

This worked for me

[darkxst]

IRCUT will be an infrared filter that would normally be on during the day to cut out excess glare (IR from daylight/sunlight) from saturating the sensor. It would then turn off to allow night vision to work ;) I don't expect those settings to have any effect on the IR LED's

[darkxst]

Can disable the visible status LED with the following blank file (reboot required) . touch /dayun/mtd/cfg/disable_ledshow
