Red LED Recording light settings?

[SaulChea22]

Is there a way to turn off all LED lights on the camera? The red LED recording lights that come on scare our toddlers at night time. The settings for LED is limited to just battery indicator. All firmware is updated.

Under the camera settings, look for video settings and then turn off night vision.

Doing so will limit your picture contrast and show darkness unless you have some form of ambient lighting such as a night light.

@SaulChea22 : To be clear on this - Nightvision recordings look black & white, but they actually are IR (infrared).  The Red LEDs function as IR spotlights - they come on because Nightvision needs them to illuminate the scene.

Disabling Nightvision should keep the LEDs off, but the cost will be no useful recordings when the area being recorded is dark.

Thank you, @Dannybear . This is very helpful. We will get a night light and turn off night vision, then.

Thank you, @StephenB . Very useful and informative. Night light should be enough to record without the "scary red" eyes."
