One source of confusion is that the camera manufacturers' literature often cites as range the maximum distance for "usable video."
The problem with this is usable video equates to "you can see something happening out there."  If your only purpose is to know that
something is happening but you don't care what it is or whjo is doing it, that would be ok.

Sunlight also works well.  :^)
