Automatically select Day or Night profile based on whether it's Day or Night?

[PatPend]

Can Dahua cams automatically select day or night profiles based on whether the camera is in day (color) or night (BW + IR) mode? From what I can tell it can only be changed manually or via a fixed daily schedule.

@bp2008 made some software to automate this for you if you have a computer running all the time. I just set this up over the weekend and it works great.

GitHub - bp2008/DahuaSunriseSunset: A Windows Service which changes the profile of dahua cameras between Night and Day at each sunset and sunrise.

Agreed. This software is amazing (and also works for my Lorex camera).

This is outstanding, thank you @drunkpenguin. Without the generosity and knowledge on this forum I'd still be in the ip cam stone age.
