I have one IPC-HFW4431R-Z, first camera I bought. Installed it on the corner of my house.
When I installed it, I didn't have a front door camera, so I was trying to cover both the front entrance and driveway, and have it zoomed towards the front door. I have a three car garage, and the front entrance of across the driveway from where the camera is located.
With it like this, at night, when you walk close to the camera, faces get washed out. If you are farther away, it looks fine.
So, a better nighttime test is to walk close to the camera, and see if you can recognize the face.
I need to readjust my 4431 since I have a starlight for the front door now. I'll try adjusting it one night, and see if I can get better night time performance.
