I have a previous model of this camera and the issue i ran into having it behind glass was at night the leds would reflect and make white rings that would wash out all of the image. day time worked great but i would see this being a problem with any camera that has night vision.

the camera should see what your eye sees if you looked out the window. so any reflections from the sun - lack of light will affect the camera as well as your eye - except these cameras do better in less light than my eyes do. that being said, if you can gimme a few hours till I can get home from work. i'll set mine up and test it just like that and let u know the results. I've been thinking about one for the back-yard myself & this is a good excuse for me to see if it'll work from the inside looking out. i'll get back w/ you in about 24 hrs.

No. Glass will mask the motion as much as a wall. I tried it through my French door.

Unless you have at least a few inches of wall surface inside your window frame, I'm afraid not. It needs to be nailed into the wall with a drill and it goes only straight across.

If there is enough light to avoid the night vision ,than yes it will work. If not the ir lights will reflect off the window glass and either blind the camera or reduce the range. What i did to get around this is to conceal the camera in an old birdhouse my wife had on a table on the porch.

If you want to have security footage in two areas.....we have three...one in back, one in front and one on side...especially if your house has access to the back through a drive or space between neighbors without a tall fence....liability wise also...we film the front because of the sidewalk....and walk way

Yes, but not very well; it operates by detecting infrared radiation from a warm body (for example), and glass will block much of that unless the radiation comes towards the glass at a pretty direct angle. This thing is weatherproof, so if you can mount it on the other side of the glass you will get better results. I had other issues with the device, though, so I sent it back.

It cannot when installed as directed: there is only one camera on this unit and it is designed to face the road. Other dashcams are available, however, that are designed to film both the passenger cabin (and sometimes by inclusion, part of the area behind the vehicle via the rear window) and the roadway in front of the vehicle at the same time; this just isn't one of them.

I tried it on the wall and it works well there also. I moved it around a bit to find the sweet spot and for me the window was best because our shutters will hide the antenna.

It gets mounted inside the car on the rear glass windsheild, you can also put it lust above the rear license plate so it can be used as a back up camera

Andy, I wondered the same thing. It certainly looks to me like it would need total protection from weather outside. The software is a bit cranky but the camera works. I was hoping it would work looking outside through a window but it doesnt. It just sends a picture of its own refelection. Better suited as a nanny cam or the like than a security cam.

It will. I added one without the weather case under my porch where it's protected. The only thing that effects this camera is the cold. The cold seems to drain the batteries a little faster than the camera inside the home.

Short answer is yes! Needs battery or own electic source for camera. Great indoor out a window. Effective range 100 feet and through outside wall. I thought it was worth the price.

Obstructions/trees and other factors come into play with this - honestly only you can answer that question - we have a similar size house and property is large and only have two cameras based off the front of the house - porch and driveway - but then that's us. Best of luck - they're good cameras we'll say that for sure!

It is recommended you mount the camera top center if possible to get the best picture. There is also a rear view mirror mount that you can use if you don't want to stick it to the window.

Yes. This camera works well indoor, but when I placed it outdoor - about 30' to 40'- there's no picture or video. Also, this is not a PTZ as advertised; it's a PT only. And, like the other comments, I'm puzzled why the glass cover moves in a pan/tilt, instead of just the camera.

Somewhat. If a home is lined with radiant barrier or other metallic insulating material it will not work. Near a window allows it to function some.
