For the most part the low end cameras just use IR as a marketing con job. They are useable if installed within their parameters. My rule is for any IR camera under $200 you can halve the stated IR range & work on that.

At the high end of the market the IR cameras can be pretty good but they still need a lot of thought put into the installation for good results.

It depends on how many IR led are in in the camera, the less you have, the less illumination you will have during the night. If your looking for better night vision outside, I would generally go for LED flood light or a camera with IR array LED.

 

I hope this helps
