Hi and thanks,

I have a 5231ZE newly mounted above front door.
If you are on the street looking at the house, it is above and in the left corner of the entrance/porch on the same wall the door is on.

The porch area is covered and is approx 6 feet from front to back, and 7 feet wide...

There are 2 -4 inch can lights (45watts) centered in the ceiling. (3 feet centered from front to back -- each can light 2 feet in from each side)...

My question is at night..
Do I want these can lights on or off and if I want them on do I need to turn off WDR or some other setting...?

I dont think I am getting the night performance you would expect out of this starlight camera and wondering if the porch lights are effecting the performance.

Thank you
