I have a HiWatch NVR and 7 cameras (well 6 currently as one is on the blink). I have these at the minute:
Quality has never been great and I'm wondering if it's possible to get much better, or if my layout is just too difficult. I'm rural, with little or no ambient light unless there's a bright moon. Fairly wide back yard, and even wider front drive with about 25-30m from the house to the gate. These cameras were all cleaned just before these screenshots were grabbed from the app.
I've been looking at the Darkfighter, and the Colorvu, both by Hikvision. I know that the Colorvu has an LED rather than just IR but for 1 thing, I'm not keen on lighting up the front of the house permanently. I'd prefer the cameras to be subtle. Out the back (3 cameras) no problem but the 4 at the side/front, not so good. Also not sure how effective the led would be anyway pointing down the driveway.
Also suggestions on where to buy. I'm told that a lot of the stuff you can get on Amazon or eBay are grey imports and can't be trusted for quality. Any recommendations?
