good quality camera with not optimal night image compared to 4M model

I have bought several cameras from different brands also bought several models from Amcrest, this is definitely a good quality camera, first of all it is very clear time of day. The only problem is that the amcrest 4K model doesn't have night IR like the amcrest 4M model, which is almost $40 cheaper than the 4K model. So if you want to get a better picture at night, this 4K IR camera is your best choice. IR lights can cost you an additional $20. An alternative solution is to buy the 4M model, which is cheaper and has a much brighter screen at night. The 4M model can see a circle of red IR light around the lens, on the 4K model you only see two IR lights under the lens. Compared to other brands on Amazon, the Lorex camera is similar in shape to Amcrest but only works with the Lorex NVR. The GeoVision camera costs more with a similar configuration from Amcrest but its mount costs a fortune, the round mount cost me $54 which is ridiculously expensive. Update: One of the cameras stopped working around 4am, after a reset it's working again.

Pros
  • camera & photo
Cons
  • boring packaging
