Know, if anyone has any thoughts or experience with this, please advise.

Post a video if you want.  Though I have seen this before.

 

It is backscatter, which is very commonly seen in security cameras (and also can occur more generally with other cameras). If you google it, you will see quite a few examples.

 

The small object (could also be a water droplet or an insect) is very out of focus, and can look very different from what you'd expect.

Another cause could be insect eggs, they get layed at the end of a fine hair attached to camera’s front face, invisible during the day but at night they brighten up with the night light and show as little static orbs.
