I use these indoors and outdoors to (try) and capture natural nature shots. I also have V3 cams.
In my V3 settings I can disable the indicator LED. I do not have this for the Outdoor V2s.
The result is some critter will come into view, trigger the motion sensor, the LED changes from dim Blue to brighter RED. Scare the fur/feathers off of the critter, which then runs away.
Not very helpful.
Especially since they will then avoid the camera.
I tried putting tape on it, but light must still leak out the sides. I have some great vids of mice snapping their heads up after the camera starts recording, and then running away.
I even have one of a Centipede that slowly backs away after the light comes on.
