I'm thinking of a couple of https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hikvision-DS-2CD2042WD-I-Outdoor-Bullet-Network/dp/B017C53TI0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464115147&sr=8-1&keywords=hikvision+ds-2cd2042wd-i

Not heard of them myself but it's got good specs for the price. 0.01 lux is pretty dark so the ir lights must be pretty good.
14mbps video is pretty good quality too for fhd@30fps

Cheers for that @viridis I'm also looking at Lilin http://www.meritlilin.com/webe/html/products/index.aspx?kid=53 but the Hikvision prices and specs attracted me

The lilin bullet Model SR7424X is impressive,
Only a 2MP sensor but less compression (12mbps on 2mpix vs 14mbps on 4mpix hikvision one)
Also pumps out a higher frame rate too so I'm guessing it has better processor and better sensor overall.
