Automating Camera Issue Detection Via API? Special Focus: Motion And Spider Webs!

Greetings!

Perhaps a noob question, but I'm looking for some input / brainstorming for fighting spider webs. We have about 200 cameras deployed currently, with another 250 in the process. We have constant problems with spider webs. They are triggering our motion detection (With in NX Witness) and when only recoding high res on motion, this is eating up a lot of storage. Many of our cameras are at small locations with minimal staff. We have an auditing process currently, but I'd much prefer to attempt some automation. We do not have an active staff member monitoring cameras 24x7. We're fairly limited to a physical solution due to budget constraints (we're a non-profit overseas), so moving to PIR or external IR isn't much of a choice. We're very happy with our cameras currently. And we've considered some options mentioned here (How to keep spider webs off your security camera lens - VueVille) but the need for detection would still be there.
