OT IP Camera?

Ive just fitted a outdoor ip camera outside today. Its a Ycam bullet (2nd gen). I seem to be getting very poor results from the LEDs in darkness as below.

Any thoughts?

Is it within the plume of a condensing boiler, or just pissing down there?

There's definitely something (perhaps only visible to IR) swirling about in the air (dust, insects, smoke? difficult to say) and the amount of detail in that is overwhelming the video encoding, making the centre of the image so blocky ...

Its appallingly poor quality. Did you get it from somewhere that sells fakes as they are supposed to be quite good. It does look like its persisting it down.

I was going to have a look at the daylight quality of it, but you've (sensibly) password protected it. Is it the 1080 or 720 version?

I have 2 of those cameras , y-cam bullet, which I bought about 3 years ago now. I bought mine from Amazon, and the supplier was Atkinsons.

The daytime pics and video are pretty good, but night time pics are a bit blurred/unclear. They do show up anyone who is within the vision field, but facial pictures are not good at all at night time.

I also have 2 of the Merit Lilin LR7022E4 108P HD Bullet IP cameras, which do give better night time pics.

The Merit Lilin cameras were cheaper than the Y-cam bullet cameras even after 2/3 years time difference.

OT but FWIW there's an interesting[*] "Internet of Things" search engine out there ...

I'm not able to view your images, but, a common problem with built in IR illumination is that any mist close to the camera is very noticeable. Last night some of mine looked very bad. But those that remote illuminators were fine. With the naked eye, when I look when I'm outside, it is sometimes hardly possible to see what the camera is reacting to. The water droplets appear to reflect back and amplify the light very well :-(
