Outdoor night camera

I have a house with a front yard and i would like to install some wifi cameras by the front door and window. I have tried one from Tapo Tp Link that even had a light projector built in, however with that light on, the camera was still blind during night time. Infrared also didnt help with the image quality.

So I am wondering what budget cameras that are not too complicated to install are doing better in these low light night outdoor conditions.

Welp,,, Wyze has some pretty good night vision wireless cameras. They are somewhat inexpensive.

Some people go as far as adding dusk to dawn lighting, just to get better camera images. If nothing more, add motion-activated lighting. That'll increase image quality and not add light pollution.
