It's massively situation dependent.Hi,

Ignore that marketing crap. They also say that I8 has an 80m IR range with the 6mm lens. No chance.The vari focus is 0.014 LUX.

To bring some clarity to the confusing Lux specs (as quoted from the EU site):The vari focus is 0.014 LUX.
Regards.
I wasn't suggesting you really considered those. They are much more expensive. But it gives a good idea of what Hik's best sensor and best lens perform in terms of Lux and f-stop.
I agree that this is not a cost effective solution unless you basically need a no-IR solution that does reasonably well at night. In my case, I did purchase a 4026 with the (much more pedestrian) f/1.5 wide angle (I needed a wide angle and the f/0.95 wasn't wide enough) and ended up paying about $380 total from EBay. No IR, no enclosure.Not only is the camera more expensive, they also use expensive 1/2" C/CS mount MP lenses, as LaurentR noted. Then, you need a mount, and an enclosure if you want to use it outdoors. You're probably looking at $1000 by the time it's up and mounted, and that's with no IR.
This is what you need for great low-light performance, and why the popular sub-$200 cameras don't perform well in low light.
