Bug - Camera switches between night/day modes, even when the shutter is closed, causes clicking
At night, every time the light changes in the room (i.e tv lights the room up) the camera switches from night mode to day mode (the red light comes on/off) or vice-versa. This happens even when the shutter is closed so is redundant. It can be pretty annoying to hear it click each time.

Hi werwulf,
I did reply in the other thread where you discussed this with other users. Yes, the camera does switch between night and day modes automatically (just based on the light level of the room), and this does produce an audible click. It doesn't start a recording, but it is getting ready for if it ever needs to record. So this behavior is intentional.

Isn't this due to the camera losing connection, and reconnecting? i've noticed the click as well when shutter is closed, look at camera, and the white light is on.

This behavior is incredibly annoying and distracting. I recently got a new tv and it’s causing the camera to “click” as it switches between modes which can happen frequency. I really wish there could at least be an option to have it “auto with shutter open” or “auto if alarm armed”.
