Hi, it's unclear from your post why they are flying around the camera, is this another night time IR issue like with spiders ? I believe they can feel the warmth of the IR.

If that's the case, I turned OFF the IR on my Dahua cam, as it is so good at night anyway. The cam also sends a json command to Homeseer to turn some bright lights on, so I can still see anybody moving around.

AI would help if you don't use it, however with flying insects AI will still sometimes classify them as people due to their relative size and shape when their the right distance from the lens. I have a few Dahuas with the IRs turned off as well since their low light detection is so good and that tends to help as well, but flying insects still seem to like the heat the cameras generate or something as I still see more insects crawling on the lens than I'd expect.
