Asking for an advice for a cam from ali. Well if it doesn't exist we can go for b and a brands. In the budget segment if possible as cctvs are not the only option money can be spent on.

Have a strip of road around 30 m along my residence. Not oo much light coming from two lanterns. So not that much of a light at night. Planning on installing an external ir flood light but still need a cam with good low light conditions and wide angle. One more thing it should have a mic with good sensivity).
Tried one from ali with a Sony 335 sensor and a 1,6 lens but... as can be seen (this is a crop from the upper part of the stream - lens is flooded with own light) it's total crap and no audio. So any reliable options? H264 and AAC preferable as it's used with frigate and go2rtc.

Welcome @ilemur

Budget segment of cameras and low light image capture = major challenge ..

in general you need larger sensors and better dsp chips .. so expect to pay more for better low light capture ..
also, if the subject you want to capture is moving faster, plan to need a better camera ..
 
Well I understand it's a challenge not the first year running frigate + compreface. So it's more of a question if someone has good advice on the models currently being sold
 
Except the dome model. Which looks like might be part of the problem from the image example but hard to tell from as little as shown.
