Need a good camera for my backyard

Have a 1080P YI camera I bought on amazon, and it's worked great. Problem is if I zoom in it is extremely grainy.
This obviously does it's intended purpose no good.

Didn't even notice that thread.
I'm not your neighbor, probably.

How far are you trying to zoom, and are there settings within the software to make it record 1080 instead of a lower resolution?

What is your intended purpose?

I'm really happy with my Nest cameras

If you are trying to zoom in you need something with an optical zoom. If you are zooming in digitally it's going to get grainy especially with a 2MP camera.

Which is what?
Are you trying to zoom live? Or are you trying to zoom in on digital recordings?
Get an extra camera or 2 and zoom them in on smaller areas, which can be easier to zoom

As said....
Digital zoom = grainy
Optical zoom= sharp
Even with optical zoom, if you are zooming in on recorded video it will still be grainy. You have to already have it zoomed in before the recording to keep it sharp.

Im using a little $250 hikvision 1080 fixed lens with built in IR to 30 meters with motion based edge recording on a 128GB micro SD. IP66 outdoor rating. Unfortunately the security integration racket in this country makes it difficult for end users to acquire.
I have a channel I can acquire through.

Anixter. Wholesale prices.

Tri-ed, Anixter whatever they are calling themselves this week. Unless you have an account with lots of volume their pricing isn't much better.
