Your vid is so clear! What is are your cameras? It seems like when I watch my video its seems almost like its under a strobe light
Oops, my mistake 
, the text overlays on top of the screen made it look like a Hikvision. Somehow, I noticed that Hikvision uses a specific font for date and time and camera name
After you pointed out, I just noticed this was recorded in Blue Iris
upon playing the video in full screen. The text overlay makes it obvious

That video is far from clear.

Its a matter of perspective. If you give someone who is starving a McDonalds hamburger, it would be wonderful for them! compared to mine, that's pretty darn clear.

You must be using old 720 P or VGA camerasIts a matter of perspective. If you give someone who is starving a McDonalds hamburger, it would be wonderful for them! compared to mine, that's pretty darn clear.

Get an external IR illuminator and a PoE splitter.

i considered a external ir illuminator but its a ptz camera....so i would not be able to use the ptz at night. the illuminator would only point one direction...

Jerry rig/kludge a mount for it so it piggybacks off the camera then. I don't think the load will effect the PTZ at all. (I'm a cheap old bird)
Alternately, use a few IRs and illuminate the whole area.

I think its great. Wow.....300. To me, that's a lot of money to just look at something for the fun of it. If it were to protect a business or thousands of dollars of stuff then yeah. I'm just speaking for my own use though. For me, I'm just in a position that I get to look at possums and raccoons passing by at night. I'm in a neighborhood, so we do get some traffic going by the house but I don't HAVE to be able to identify them. I do admire your setup though.
Are you powering it from the battery on the cart?
