It might help others if you post a picture of how the camera is mounted. I have one of these cameras and I can tell you that even if you have the camera zoomed in all the way it puts out a very wide angle of IR light. I think you are seeing IR reflection from something.
I recently installed a different model Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z (2.7mm - 12mm) in a location under an eave. It was about a foot under the eave. At night I could see a reflection of the camera's ring in a fence located across the street from our house. I have had at least 4 other cameras is that exact location with no problem before. I ended up lowering the camera about 8 inches and the ring problem went away.

Yep, you are getting IR reflections from something.

It looks like you have another camera over to the right, pointing in the direction of the mailbox
