People here have steered me to Reolink.  I'm just wondering how well the night vision works.

With ambient light from the neighbors:

Absolutely no light at all on this side.

ETA: Just realized this is from the auto set up, so 720p, that was screen capped, so in reality, probably not even 720p, when these cameras actually get 1440p.

This is zoomed in on my phone with my front driveway lights on.

Screenshot from the app and these have almost no ambient lighting.

I'll add that these are both from my phone and I can't stream them in HD because I have shitty internet out in the country.  The HD stream on the computer/TV is much better quality.

the camera has IR LEDs, you can see the reflections and the "hot" zone near the camera.
use your cell phone camera to look at the cameras and they will show a "hot" spot, ie IR Leds,
good, quality, not true night vision.
they look like they will get the job done

I have that exact setup (Reolink 8cameras) and will be installing it tomorrow.  I can give u an update afterwards.   Its the final step in securing my house.

I use additional IR spots in areas where I need more IR light outside to see farther
