My older Analogue system with good quality 700 TVL cameras, much better cameras than the poor quality ones shown here in the OP...
^^^^ that is full size once clicked.
My 3MP ran in 1080p Hikvision camera from the same position...
If you click on the HD image do not forget to click on it again when open to reveal its full size.
only last week I reported two youths caught on my CCTV breaking into vehicles and stealing stuff. Just waiting for the police to collect the stills and video from me now. Unlike the old analogue system these images have more chance of being useful to them as the analogue material was pretty bad when trying to capture stills for facial recognition etc.

The camera used.....
Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I
The above is a dome type camera.
The equivalent bullet type would be...
Hikvision DS-2CD2232-I5
NVR used.....
Hikvision DS-7608NI-SE/P
Both the above were bought and imported from Aliexpress.

Rubbish cameras.
There is no point in buying a system to protect your home or business, that when required, you wouldn't be able to see the perpetrators due to rubbish quality recording.
Not even good as a starter kit, completely cold from me.

Don't agree that any camera is better than no camera. Because:
1) Can cause false sense of security
2) Savvy criminals know that these ones are rubbish... and take advantage of (1)
Would much rather spend £100 on anti-snap and anti-bump cylinder locks and ensure entrances to house and rear gardens are secure.
And the only better cams you can add to these are more Analog ones... not Digital IP Network cameras.
Save up for minimum 1 megapixel.

Like a savvy crim putting a cap on and dark clothes on, even then an IP camera will as useful as an analogue camera, especially at night in mono.
So yes any camera is better than nothing, one it can help with insurance premiums, if burgled or damge to car or property and an image or footage is caught then it can help, will certainly with insurance claims. So yes any camera is better than no camera.
As for false of security, how is an ip camera going to give you better sense of security. If someone is determined to break in or cause damage, then no matter how you spend on a camera (£10 - £10,000), it will happen.

Are you seriously suggesting that buying this would increase the risk of being burgled?, must be one of the most idiotic things that I have ever read on this site.

I highly doubt a savvy criminal will be looking to burgle any house that puts these up anyway.
For a regular homeowner these are well worth getting to put off any chancer

Total rubbish.
Cameras are no good, system is cheap and nasty.
Even in daylight the cameras would be like looking through Ladies tights.
With your logic, you would be better with dummy cameras.
