Lots of recodings of bugs at night...

Post by JimS »

I have motion detection working pretty well during the day for a long driveway detecting vehicles. But I get lots of recordings of little bright spots at night. The camera has IR lights. I also get an event when switching from day to night (goes to black and white and turns on IR) and vice versa but that's only two events per day and not a big deal. Any suggestions for reducing the bug recordings? Since they are close to the camera they can cover some area.

The best solution seems to be using an off camera IR source. My camera doesn't have a way to turn off IR so I would need to tape over them or go inside and disconnect.

The real events have frame counts of about 10 or greater. So I upped the "alarm frame count" from 3 to 5. That should get rid of most of them.
