Hi, I recently received my Pico Zero and IMX415 IR Cut camera module and was able to try out the RTSP stream via VLC. However, the resulting image is reddish. I believe this is due to the IR filter not being switched on? I've been looking at the file in /etc/oem/usr/share/rkipc-800w.ini, but I'm having trouble finding any comments for the configuration values.

I noticed the following block:

[isp.1.night_to_day]
night_to_day = day       
night_to_day_filter_level = 5
night_to_day_filter_time = 5
dawn_time = 07:00:00
dusk_time = 18:00:00
ircut_filter_action = day
over_exposure_suppress = open
over_exposure_suppress_type = auto
fill_light_mode = IR         
brightness_adjustment_mode = auto
light_brightness = 1
distance_level = 1  

This suggests that I can change the scene mode (and therefore the IR filter) depending on the time of day, but I've tried setting various times and there doesn't seem to be any effect.

This leaves me with a few questions:

• Are the dawn/dusk times in the rkipc-800w.ini file supposed to control when the IR filter is activated?

• If yes, how do I get this to work?

• If no, is there another way to switch the filter with a script? Or even just using the physical onboard switch?

Thanks in advance!
