Stopping capture from 1 camera at night?

Hi,
I have a Axis camera which is using the supplied extension lead to send
the power to it. At night it seems that the power supply current drops too much as the camera requests more current due to the dark image, this causes massive corruption.
I should really fix this but for now I'd like a quick solution to stop
it capturing between say 8pm and 5am? I could do this via cron I guess
if I knew the best way to do it?
Yes, yes, yes, I should fix the camera I know... but... :)

Thanks

Mike

Search for run states and cron. I think there is a blurb as well in the wiki.

Short answer, Yes ;)
