Here are 3 shots from my back yard.
Day Picture

Night with only the Hikvision IR

Added a Foscam 8905 for additional IR coverage

The fence at the back of the yard is about 175' from the camera. The Foscam does improve the IR coverage a lot.
I still need to tweak the camera, pretty basic settings at the moment.
The Foscam is an old one I removed a few years ago (before I knew the F word was bad). Works great for a cheap illuminator and it was laying around collecting dust. I have another 8905 and a couple 8904 that I may place as dummy cams and only use the IR for the other cams.
