Ok..I struggled on which forum this should go under....
One thing that is tough (at least for me) is finding good quality outdoor cameras with decent night IR capability.
So far the best I have found is (again, another e-bay find but possible to get from dealer directly for a few dollars more)

At $149 it is hard to beat. It claims 100 FT night vision capability and I'd have to agree that it is something close to that.
This is mounting on my garage and looks through backyard of neighboors house, into the yard of the next house and with 0 extra illumination (though some neighboors appear to have porch lights on not in the FOV of the camerea) I get a pretty decent picture.
It would be nice if the noise were slightly lower but it is not bad.
What would be nice is a forum for camera reviews with a place we could post samples. The vendor specs are pretty useless as near as I can tell.

Good Night Camera
Can you update the URL to the sample pic that you posted (or at least it looks like you tried to post one)? If you dont have a place to host it, there is a free image uploader/gallery/hosting service on www.n00bstories.com
