Separate IR light sources solve the spider problem and red (white) eyes too. Search Amazon for "IR Illuminators"

Nothing in the specifications mentioning IR, I did read on the web somewhere that it doesnt see IR but uses the white light leds. IR seems to have no affect on mine and the white led lights seem to have no affect on my Hikvision darkfighter. The two cameras are on the front if the garage no more than 4 feet apart, one facing forward and the other across the front doors

Nice,
Thats with the onboard white LED's on correct?
The leds are more of a very dim yellowish beam of light but looks super bright on the camera. Great technology.. ill have to get a pic of the led light from the camera

Sorry for being confusing..
The cameras leds are the only light there. No external lights. Complete darkness other than the cameras built in leds. I was stating that the leds aren't very bright to the human eye but you see what the camera looks like . I will get a picture of the face of the camera tonight with no other lights

Do you use Dahua or Hikvision NVR ?
How do you make it work Dahua and Hikvision products?

I initially started with a hikvision system of 8 cameras and a hikvision nvr

I only have the one Dahua camera, they're not as easy to buy as Hikvision here in the UK, I used the Dahua web to set the camera up but view it and record it via 2 generic onvif NVRs with my other 24 cameras. The hikvision nvr I have is only recording the Hikvision cameras.
