Same here. just got it a couple days ago. I actually have the wired indoor stick up mini (wired compact indoor cam).
I have it in disabled mode (no live view, no motion and no motion record) both toggles are off in mode settings for this cam when in Disarmed Mode, which I am currently using when im home while I get everthing set up.
We have it in our living room and notice it CLICKING mostly at night with most of our lights out. just the TV on and a 8 watt LED lamp off to the side 12 feet up against a wall on the right of cam and another light in a connecting room(kitchen) that is far off to the right of the cam but in its view. the QLED 55" TV is directly in front of the CAM about 18 feet away. Cam is at about 6 feet high.
we also have a ceiling fan just right off of center that has lights off.
we notice the clicking anytime the TV switches to a white or bright video image. It clicks ON and a few seconds and after the image darkens some it goes OFF. or visa versa (propably is in infared mode when TV is dark and switches it OFF when TV is bright and back ON when TV goes darker.
it is hit and miss with the TV as it requires the image to go bright.
However the Fan lights when turned ON and set to highest brightness makes it happen every single time the light is turned ON and then clicks again a second or two after the fan light is turned OFF (I am guessing it goes back into IR mode.)
But to me the kicker is I have the mode to No motion detect and no Live view in DISARMED MODE. I would think the cam would be essentially OFF. But I guess it has some power and the IR controller is still functioning even with cam esentially OFF. nothing is being recorded in this mode and live view is not possible in this mode.
But it incessantly is clicking ON and OFF, OFF and On. whatever.
it bugs my wife and I to no end and the dog is not a fan either.
i have tried putting a coiled up opaque paper cyclinder over the cam and it seems to limit the clicking sound caused by sudden TV brightness changes.
But it still occasionally happens for the Fan light. it is 90% better but still does it sometimes. maybe changing to a dark paper cylinder cover over the cam would fix it.
But that is a dumb thing to have to do for a Cam. I just want it turned ON in Armed/Away mode when house should be empty so I can detect movement and capture images and video of what caused it. I dont care if it clicks when I am not there, but I would have to remember to remove the paper cover from the cam each time I go out. not going to happen.
Surely there should be a.way to turn off the IR switching when the cam is in Motion Off and Live View Off mode. it should be in a functionally dead OFF mode but the IR mechanisms still seems to keep on working.
Please fix it.
