Default IR was ICR and Auto, and there was no IR. Maybe sensitivity needs adjusting to high?

Camera is remaining in color mode because its seeing enough light from that external light.
You'll have to force it and set it to B&W not using Auto

Exactly right. Force the BW for IR, don't rely on Auto as I and others mention all the time
I have set it as recommended here... will test it tonight.
Definitely look better, but not as good as I believe it could be... any suggestions?
This is when I noticed extra IR lights coming on.

Since I set my camera full color 24/7 I don't know what's good setting for you with IR. But it seems like your setting of Brightness and Gamma are way too high.
Try Brightness -50, Contrast- 58, Sharpness-45, Gamma-50. I learned from wittaj in the past that you should set your Contrast around 8 higher than Brightness at night.
And use Manual exposure and have shutter 0-16 or lower, Gain 60 or lower to see if it help or not.

Here are those settings... definitely much better. I got a snapshot with and without the string lights on.
When viewing live, I do notice quite a bit of noise... the faint snow of bad reception on the network channels back in the 60s.
Try shutter 0-13, Gain-50. Illuminator-Manual- Near light and Far Light- 50 and see what happen.
