Google Nest Camera (Outdoor) Keeps switching Night and Day Mode quickly in a Dim Light condition

Hi team,

purchased a brand new sealed in a box Outdoor Google Nest camera. Setup in our Alfresco area ( Semi Outdoor ) and facing towards the backyard. The position of it is attached on the wall inside the alfresco. During late afternoon or when it's cloudy ( dim light ), I noticed today that the outdoor unit switches so rapidly and making that flicking noise between Day and Night mode. I noticed it when I viewed it on the Google Home App. I've changed the angle, etc. so no luck. Though I didnt try mounting it closer to the outdoor side of Alfresco ( close to the end of the roof ) as it doesnt provide the angle I want ( area to capture )

 

Is it a known issue ? or normal ? what should I do to prevent, etc ? Thoughts please ?
