Except that putting it indoors to point outdoors is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do. I managed to block the IR of my present camera with electrical tape but even many several layers don't reduce the IR reflections from this camera.

 

Since it automatically switches the LEDs on when it detects darkness, it could easily have the ability in the firmware to disable that feature. I have streetlights and don't need the IR anyway, the reflections make it useless so I will have to return 2 cameras for the lack of a simple toggle switch and FW support, 

In case anyone is interested. I disassembled the unit and severed two tracks that feed the 4 IR LEDs so that it cannot emit IR. It works great for my need, through glass at the front of my house. The only downside is that it is monochrome when it is 'dark' despite the streetlights allowing colour easily - which can be seen for a few seconds if 'privacy mode' is enabled and disabled and the camera viewed (it takes a moment or two to work out it is dark and switch).
