I want to run 2 cameras just during daylight hours, but I can't figure out how to set this up. Doesn't Blueiris know when its day/night? I have looked in help first before coming here. Can anyone please help? Thank you.

Not sure exactly how to do this but I do know you will need to set your location in BI so that it know when the sun rises and sets., I am not near any of my BI installs, but you will also need to set daylight hours in you schedule, pretty sure that the help explains how to do this, once again I am not able to confirm as I don't have access to BI at the moment and my memory is not that good!

Thanks for replying so quickly, Bruce. I'll double check that BI knows where I am located. The problem to solve is, the cam is looking out through a window so when the ir lamps go on, all you can see ty is the camera's reflection. It could be solved better by not lighting the lamps, but I can't seem to find where to do that.
 
Most cameras will have an internal web page, if yours does there is probably a way to lock it into daylight mode (color mode), what camera is it you are using?

Okay, it is a wyze v2 shell, flashed with thingino bios, which essentially means its a jailbroken onvif camera.
I'll check the camera's webpage.
