Curious if anyone can direct me to any previous post. about this or direct me in the right direction. I have looked and searched but unable to find my answers. I live in the country and VERY little to no light other then moonlight and A street light half a block away. I have dahua 2mp 5231 starlight cameras and some non starlight cameras they do pretty decent in B&W night mode.
But I am looking to add a few of the new 8mp Hikvision Colorvu g2 cameras. I also plan to add some External lighting around the house and tool shed. my goal is to have very clear full night time color vision. I would really like to use IR illuminators and not light up the yard but can not find out if that is only for better b&w night vision or if it also helps with color night vision or if i am better off just getting dusk to dawn led white lights. also in the Wiki/Cliff notes most of the IR illuminators look to be a few years old and wasn't sure if most of them are still available or better models out. I will apologize ahead of time if there are other post similar to this that I was unable to find by searching. Also any recommendations on what model external lights are best would also be appreciated
