Q: Regarding infrared recording capability on the front-facing camera, we are able to fulfill the requirement for automatic switching from day recording to infrared, but while in infrared if there is a burst of light (i.e. headlight, streetlight, etc.) there could be some degradation of quality while the camera is trying to sort between day/infrared. We suggest utilizing an automatic filtering between day and night recording (low-light recording) with a manual option to select infrared in circumstances of little to no light present, allowing for high quality recording in any light situation. May we quote this optimal solution in place of automatic switching to infrared?

A: Yes.
