Is 4k quality on PoE cameras the same as consumer wireless cameras like Eufy?

I am shopping around for some new cameras after significant degradation in night quality with Nest. I have bought one of the new Eufy E330 4K cameras, the quality seems good but when I zoom in it’s actually reasonably pixelated. I am not sure what compression Eufy uses, but the maximum it would steam is 200KB/s and usually more in the 70-150 range. Could this compression/stream bitrate be the cause of the image not being as excellent as I thought a 4K image should be? Would PoE improve this? Looking at an installer installing something like eg Dahua cameras for their smart deterrence feature.
