I realized about a week ago that I could turn off the IR on the outside camera and get a much cleaner night time image with the ambient light. I turned up the brightness on the camera a bit to compensate too. I realized the IR was causing too much visual noise from insects, dust, and precipitation and false motion events. I hadn’t thought about using a separate IR light-- thanks for the idea! I also always wondered why the camera was an insect magnet-- I am constantly clearing off spiders, flies, etc. Thanks for the tip that insects are attracted to the IR-- it makes sense now!
