Spider webs driving me nuts! Need advice on settings.

[Jeremy Meyer]

I'm running BI with few various Foscam ip cameras. The camera inside my garage is constantly being triggered by spider webs when the lights are off.

What settings would you recommend changing in order to avoid the spider webs triggering the camera but still keep the sensitivity high enough to still trigger if a person is inside?

Spider webs are the curse of IR lights on the cameras, are these the bullet style? I recently replaced mine with turrets and the spider webs don't seem nearly as bad but the moths love them. I got to where I was brushing off my Foscam bullets every day as a routine practice.

I asked the same question months ago and told to spray the base of the camera with bug / spider spray. It works okay for a while but will go away.

The only real solution I've found is turn off the IR lights in the camera and install an external IR several feet away. The spiders generally will be attracted to that one and leave the camera alone.
