Permanent Infrared Disabling for Hikvision Camera & Recorder - Turn Off IR Feature

The discussion revolves around the possibility of permanently disabling the infrared (IR) feature on Hikvision cameras and recorders. Users inquire about methods to turn off the IR functionality, with some suggesting accessing the camera's PTZ control interface to check for options. However, it is noted that not all models support IR disabling. One user attempted to modify the camera by disassembling it and connecting the diode connectors but was unsuccessful. Another user shared their experience with a DAHUA camera, where they successfully disconnected the IR by taking the camera apart. The conversation highlights the lack of built-in options for IR disabling in certain Hikvision models and suggests physical modifications as a potential solution.
