Already tried that, John. The problem is that the Ramsey camera is about 1.5" diameter, and has a glass window over the end of the aluminum tube. There are 12 IR LED's distributed around the camera lens. I tried several masks, which effectively block the IR from projecting into the room. Unfortunately, the masks also reflect some IR back into the camera, causing the camera's AGC (or whatever) to darken the scene. Thus far, masks hurt more than help. Further play is indicated!
