How to Disable the IR LEDs on the Unifi G5 Bullet Camera

I was trying to find out how to disable the infrared (IR) LEDs on my Unifi G5 Bullet camera, I didn’t find anything online, it is fairly easy, but here’s what I found.

Steps

  1. Log into the Unifi Protect interface.
  2. Go to Protect > Devices and select your G5 Bullet.
  3. Open the General settings panel.
  4. Scroll to the IR LED option and set it to “IR Filter Only” (instead of “IR Filter and IR LED”).
  5. Save changes.

That’s it. The camera will now stay dark at night without emitting any infrared light.
