Best camera as baby monitor? Reolink E1 Pro has A LOT of lights

What camera might work well with Home Assistant as a baby monitor?

I’ve just tried Reolink’s E1 Pro and while I’m pleased with how it’s working with Home Assistant I’ve just tested it with the curtains shut and the red lights are really not great for a baby monitor.

They already to be projecting UV light.

They don’t look purple like this in real life but each LED is bright red which still may interfere with the baby’s sleep.

It has some pros like it recognizes baby cries as an entity in HA, but it’s still probably not going to work out.

What might be a better option?

Hmmm, I’ve discovered I can turn the lights off and the image quality doesn’t look too bad. Will experiment with that more tonight.

I am still curious if others have better solutions though.

Did you have any luck with the E1 Pro with disabling the light? I was thinking of getting the same as a baby monitor.
