0.5 lux is not going to give good enough results. You need an IR camera. The only thing is they are not
covert. Get a good covert & use it to show the scum you have cctv. Then get a IR lamp & 'light' the scene
properly at night & use a camera that would fit in place of a door peephole. VERY effective.
