Be aware that snow in a night shot will be helping it a LOT. There is no substitute for lighting, and visible light over infra red where possible. If its nice and dark looking to the would be burglar, they arent going to give a tosh whether your cameras can see as if its lit up like daylight. If however the area is well lit, they are likely to walk on by and target the next home that isnt as well lit. Stick a few "CCTV monitoring" stickers up in a prominent place and it makes it even more likely that they will walk on by.

 

Thats the prefered option. For them to just leave your home alone. If you are still targetted, then thats when you want the cameras to be as good as possible, however - it still relies on somebody recognising the person in the picture.

 

If you have a full face shot of a burglar in high res, then unless you know them, you are still hoping that somebody else will recognise them. Even then you are hoping to get anything back they nick and it hasnt been shot up their arm or between their toes in the time it takes to track them down.
