+leds
+   This settings takes 2 integers, that define the on/off time for the LED
+   (in milliseconds). One of the interesting things that you can do with
+   this is let the LED blink while the camera is in use. This:
+
+     leds=500,500
+      
+   will blink the LED once every second. But with:
+
+     leds=0,0
+
+   the LED never goes on, making it suitable for silent survaillance.
+
+   By default the camera's LED is on solid while in use, and turned off
+   when the camera is not used anymore.
+
+   This parameter works only with the ToUCam range of cameras (730, 740,
+   750). For other cameras this command is silently ignored, and the LED
+   cannot be controlled.
