I live in a remote area, no street lights etc., so night time is DARK. I've been trying different things and I keep coming back to the default settings for the best night quality. Are other 5231 users doing the same in my situation? Thanks!
So you're relying completely on the camera IR? Yes frequently the base settings are pretty good. Test with motion, dont rely on a still shot. Any motion blur? May play with a faster exposure..Walk through the camera view and post a sample clip here. Sometimes adding external IR or white light is needed depending on what you're trying to do/see.

I have a couple of the Cmvision IR200 which are very high output, and very directional, but you can add a makeshift diffuser to spread out the light. Something like a couple layers of opaque shower curtain from the dollar store ought to work. If you need a lot of IR and possibly long range, it would be one to consider.

Wrap a shower curtain or other plastic material over the face of the light. This will diffuse the directional light, changing it from a spot to a flood.
