Why is that definitely a Hikvision?
All I can tell is that it is from Blue Iris and the recording / export process has mistakenly added most of the text overlays twice. Probably because that cam isn't recording direct-to-disc and some of the metadata got lost (maybe its record to MP4).

Oops, my mistake 
, the text overlays on top of the screen made it look like a Hikvision. Somehow, I noticed that Hikvision uses a specific font for date and time and camera name
After you pointed out, I just noticed this was recorded in Blue Iris
upon playing the video in full screen. The text overlay makes it obvious

Its a matter of perspective. If you give someone who is starving a McDonalds hamburger, it would be wonderful for them! compared to mine, that's pretty darn clear.

You must be using old 720 P or VGA camerasIts a matter of perspective. If you give someone who is starving a McDonalds hamburger, it would be wonderful for them! compared to mine, that's pretty darn clear.
This camera is a Generic ptz 20x camera i bought of ebay several years ago for about $300.
sadly i am not using that camera at the moment because the IR leds have burned out. total bummer. Camera still works but there is no night vision.

Jerry rig/kludge a mount for it so it piggybacks off the camera then. I don't think the load will effect the PTZ at all. (I'm a cheap old bird)
Alternately, use a few IRs and illuminate the whole area.

I think its great. Wow.....300. To me, that's a lot of money to just look at something for the fun of it. If it were to protect a business or thousands of dollars of stuff then yeah. I'm just speaking for my own use though. For me, I'm just in a position that I get to look at possums and raccoons passing by at night. I'm in a neighborhood, so we do get some traffic going by the house but I don't HAVE to be able to identify them. I do admire your setup though.
