Security camera that I can keep inside but point through the window

I need a good cheaper security camera to plug in that I can point outside (but keep inside) through the window.
 
Most of them work fine, except when the IR lights come on. Those lights reflect off the window and cause glare inhibiting the camera's vision. Keep those lights off and you are okay, as long as there is enough light outside for the camera to detect. Even low outside light levels at night are picked up with a quality camera. Best of luck....
 
I use a bunch of these older models I watch through my smartphone when I'm out, they work great. You can pan them in all directions, take pics and video manually and/or automatically (motion detection), and even speak and listen through them. They were $99, but now they're half that...


 
Are most of these camera's able to hook-up to a window's 10 computer?? I don't have or want a smart phone.

Yes.

With the IR turned off can I still see at night?

If there is enough light outside. In the city with street lights, no problem. In the country, idk...

Should i get an indoor or outdoor camera to sit on my window sill and face outside?? Thanks

The outdoor camera has the advantage of being outside and utilizing its own IR lights to illuminate the area, if needed...
 
Keep in mind that the IR LEDs are visible as a red glow when on, so the camera is more likely to be detected than if the IR lights were off...
 
940nm is supposed to be non visible to humans, Google said...

Yes. The actual light emitted from the LEDs is, but the LEDs themselves that generate said light have a visible red glow to them. Iow, there is a faint red glow to the light emitting LEDS that is visible, but otherwise the room still looks completely dark to the eye. But through the camera view that completely dark room is flooded with light...

Think of it as Medusa (the invisible, visible in the mirror)
 
So is there any security camera's that I can watch on my HP windows 10 computer?? Older or newer camera's
 
@tyler.durden I can't find any camera's that hook up to windows 10... I don't have chrome or fire stick on my computer. I don't get all this app shit and new technology... I just want something simple to hook up to my labtop that can't get apps.

You simply view your cameras from the camera company's website. I believe there is a small plug-in to install of a few megabytes, any PC should be able to handle that. You got this dude. You can do it, we believe in you...
