Sample night image quality - DS-2CD2032-I

I love my hik (bullet and turret) but have not been a fan of the night picture quality. I recently got my hands on some 2w led illuminators and WOW what a major difference at night.
Used to get a lot of artifacts but now have very clear night vision with only the very very fringe suffering any real quality loss.

Here is a link and image. Previously this would be an artifact mess from trying to cover such a large area

thanks for the feedback, care to grace us with some before/after (on/off) shots?
 
well like a dummy I only took one before shot which I am searching for but trust me when I say these are a must.

ok found one

When I first got them, I just put one up in front of my front door and not next to the cam so its even more improved (I will capture that view and update later tonight when its dark)

Before:

Looks awesome. How are you powering it?
 
you can buy them with our without power supply (wall wart) In this case I am using a 12v 9 port PSU
