What are these artifacts and is there any way to prevent them from tripping motion alerts?

its dust or pollen in the air, theres really only 1 way to get rid of it.. disable onboard IR and go w/something external

Its just strange that its not every night so maybe its fog particles. Really a pain when you want to find something and it causes 5+ hours of almost constant alert recording.

fog looks entirely different, its dust/pollen.. depends on conditions, direction and speed wind is blowing, how dry its been, etc..

IVS Rules typically wont pick it up..

Yup, pollen and dust, and in Florida a few noseeums mixed in ;)

Fog looks something like this on a Starlight with IR on, typically tripwire and Intrusion ignore it, but with MD on - fuggetaboudit

(Dont forget to change to 1080p)

That stuff looks like tiny insects to me since I see no wind action at all on camera. Insects seem to see IR and I get the same effect when weather gets warmer. I also get the fog reflection on IR too. Looks like a hurricane on IR enabled cameras.
