When using a night vision security camera through a glass window or behind a window facing outdoors, it’s important to consider the following tips for security camera placement, mounting, and usage.
- Disable IR light at night to reduce IR security camera window glare and reflection.
- Consider separate IR illuminators for infrared night vision security cameras and place them outside.
- Choose a security camera with a window mount when using it through or behind a glass window.
- Use window mounts or wall mounts for security cameras that are facing outside through a glass window.
- Try to find an alternative spot to install or place the surveillance camera outdoors, such as a soffit, overhang, ledge, or exterior wall.
- If possible, leave the window open slightly when placing an infrared wireless security camera in the window.
- If you need to point the camera out through the glass, try placing the camera as close as possible to the window or glass.
- Ensure that the room the camera is in is darker than the outside at night.
- Keep the glass panels or window glasses clean to enable the cameras to capture more details through the glass window.
- Ensure that your home security cameras are placed out of reach and cannot be easily snatched away.
