Getting rid of the spiders

[user_731114945163512_731114945163512]

How can you stop the camera from recording all night long because of a spider web in front of it? Best would be if the IR lights were off (like a trail/game camera) until motion was detected, at which point the IR lights would activate and recording would begin. I understand that is not the point of security cameras, but they already have the motion detection built in. How about a firmware upgrade to allow this setting instead of just on or off. If the IR lights were off until motion was detected, the spiders would not build their webs in front of it. Most often the cameras are not with-in reach to easily clean and in my case, some are 3 hours away. Seems like a simple fix.

@user_731114945163512_731114945163512 If it is a battery operated cam which uses PIR detection then it makes sense but for pixel motion detection, the camera has to continuously compare the change in pixels from one frame to another. So in this case the IR has to be always on.
