need a recommendation for a nite time camera with a decent range. my cameras are mounted on the 2nd floor window ledge pointing to my cars in the driveway. at nite I can barely see no detail around the cars. would like to get a bit better picture at nite. I have tried adding extra ir illuminator but no help. Ant recommendations

I'm sure you know this already, but mounting the cameras closer to the ground will be much more likely to get a usable face capture.

If wrong-doers are likely to be more than 30 feet away from the camera, you'll want even more zoom than the above camera provides.

Hi Cmc,
A wider FOV will be even worse... if you are looking to get another camera to meet your stated needs, do try to follow bp2008 recommendations - they're a good deal from Andy and will help meet your needs.
Also that particular lorex model is a coax / analog model. For just a little more than what lorex is charging for that you can get a far superior Dahua OEM international model from Andy.
