Hmm... this would be a problem for some of my ColorVu (no IR) cameras...

A new proposed law may force New Yorkers to turn their outdoor lights off by 11pm nightly

"Basically, that permanently blazing backyard floodlight or decorative building spotlight might have to go dark overnight."

Yea, I got one of those... cameras won't work too well without it.

"If the measure becomes law, the new requirements would take effect on January 1, 2028, giving property owners several years to update lighting fixtures or install timers and motion sensors."

That's good.

Light pollution is a major problem. So is government overreach! That said, if Dahua could work on their white LED settings/algorithm so the LED could be adjusted very dim (just enough to detect motion) until motion is detected, and then quickly fade brighter to properly illuminate the scene for capture, that would be nice. Currently, they only offer one brightness slider and several poorly implemented lighting modes.
