It would be good if the IR illumination was switched off when the cameras are set to motion off in the mode setting, as at night / low light I get the red glow even thought the camera should not be active as I have set it to be disabled in the alarm camera mode settings. Basically they should mirror the blue LED in operation, no point them being illuminated when the camera is not being viewed or recorded, This would extend the life of the IR module and act as an energy saving feature, typically my cameras are only on during the day when I am out of the house and seldom at night.
