Video Doorbell 2 - night time recordings are dark
video-quality

I've a Video Doorbell 2. Daytime is fine. But night time video is dark. Can the reason be that it is mounted adjacent to a wall? Attached is a screenshot of a nighttime video. ![night.PNG|690x387](upload://foHTg95iUBOBV4AiBOYNXsuoHNs.jpeg)

    It’s because your IR “infrared” lights are bouncing off your brick wall and over exposing the image. You need to either re-move the doorbell or put block extension under it or paint the brick or cover the brick with flat black in order to reduse the over exposure

      This is more from the LED ring light around the doorbell button not the IR lights. I have used blackout covers on the various IR to mitigate the IR and they weren’t the problem. The LED is too bright when mounted close to a wall and the reflection overpowers everything else. Ring- please add the ability to turn off and/or dim the LED ring light so angled mounting near walls actually lets you see at night.
