Here's the full res capture from my bt878 card:

(no, it's not modern art in the front garden - it's the roofer's tar
kettle...)

It doesn't see anything much at night, but it is IR sensitive and at
dusk will show a B&W image long after my other day/night IR equipped
cameras have degraded to B&W/IR lit. I just need to put up a strong IR
source or PIR triggered flood covering the field of view...

At the moment, there's only a small CF wall light on the far end of the
porch, and a sodium streetlamp on the other side of the road.
