Without ambient light the 4Kt's and 180 derivatives will see nothing. The night colour cameras do need a minimum level of illumination to work. Leaving the cameras built in white LEDS on will provide some light but it's intensity and reach will be very limited so you would need other dusk to dawn lighting maybe with a reinforcement flood light on a motion sensor (to keep the level of dusk to dawn lighting low) in order for any of these cameras to work. Also running LED's all the time will wear them out. In a light fixture it's a new bulb, in a camera it's a new camera. Also note the comments above about the distance at which the cameras can identify. The 4kt's have a very shallow depth of field.
Using IR cameras you can see in total darkness and extend the range with IR floodlights. You won't see the IR at night apart from maybe a slight glow at the camer itself, which helps to maintain the stealth profile of the cameras and avoid light pollution. However, if you go this route, you're still running IR floodlights if the inbuilt IR isn't enough, and you'll still have the same identification issues if wanting to ID at mutliple distances. You may also find faces become washed out and unidentifiable at close distance unless you point the IR floods carefully to only fill in further away and not close up as you can have too much IR and overwhelm the sensor.
My advice would be consider an IR based camera such as the 54pro given you're in the middle of nowhere and will have no light at all unless you leave lights on all night, in which case night colour becomes possible. Failing that, it means adding light. However, you need to decide what you want to protect and allow this to define the type of lens and the position of your camera as you're not going to be able to identify at the drive end, centre and house from just 1 camera. You might be able to identify at the house and see the rest of the drive with a wide angle. But until they get close up, such a camera won't provide identification.
