I have the same issue.
Camera work in a loop when it’s absolutely dark:
13 seconds IR is ON
46 seconds IR is OFF

Today I send my request to support.

Has anyone received a response from support?

I did not recive any answer from support. I wonder if this is software or hardware issue. If software, why some dosent have the problem. Did someone tried new SDcard or factory reset, or connecting to diffrenet network?

ok, I had enought of waiting, and I disamble the camera, what I found that IR screen, which cover the IRled has some burning marks inside and the plastic cover, which suround the IRled, has some deformation from heat. I quess, due to the marks in IR screen, the light not pass thru, as suppose, and thats why camera swich for one/two second to night vision, then again switch back to normal use.

I also found that "https://www.fictiv.com/blog/posts/netat ... a-teardown". And on my version of camera, I dont have this transparent screen protection film (blue one). I quess, someone forget to install it, or maybe on lates version, they dont install it. Dont know :(. But Im not happy of all, after two years of use, camera is ready to trash.

Stupid idea but have you tried to run it without the black IR screen ?
just to see if it is the problem ?
Maybe the ir LED has got some trouble and run too hot (which will burn the plastic but also make it's power supply chip thermal shut down) ...

Hey Folks!

I had the same issues for weeks now... No IR-Picture - wrote then Support - no response (Well done netatmo). Today I wanted to check if the sensor could get the IR-Light so I took an IR-Remote and "flashed" into the camera - VOILA - Starts working again - Can anybody of you confirm this "workaround" or is it just an coincident?? after a reboot the nightvision turned on without any Problems. Now I also hear the on/off klick when the IR-Diode turns on/off.
Firmware on the welcome is 456
