How to set Camera Function from command line?

[ckilner]

I have a camera without IR and I therefore want to turn off Modect at night. Can I do this via cron?
The nice-to-have would also be to turn it on and off at sunrise and sunset and then it would sync with the changing daylight hours during the year.
