Rasperry Camera IMX219 w.Motorized IR-cut-filter UC-350 Rev.C w. twilight sensor

Hello,

we obtained a Rasperry Camera IMX219 w. Motorized IR-cut-filter UC-350 Rev.C w. twilight sensor for use in a deer-monitoring-project. It switches the filter automatically via the twilight sensor. Is it possible to get the state of the filter if it is switched or not via python?

And can i adjust the sensitivity of the twilight sensor?

 

thanks in advance.

You might need to hack the camera hardware to read the output from the twlight sensor to determine if it is on or off. And the sensitivity can be modified by the resistors across the twlight sensor.
