I want to mount on interior window sill pointing out to my front porch. Will this work through a double paned window? I am more concerned about capturing movement during the day and less so at night. Before I buy, I want to know if this will work for...

ok, I put the camera at my kitchen window facing outside & was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the shot. it was late in the day about 6:30 pm and I could see some indirect reflections from the setting sun in a couple of places on the window - but really clear other wise, pretty much like I expected, but, the reflections in no way obstructed the view I was seeing on my iPhone. and we have a new home and double panes as well, so you shouldn't have any problem mounting the LNC104 from the inside looking out.

The light comes with some double sided tape but I used my own 3" screws to get through the siding & insulation. Worked Ok although the motion sensor is mounted such that it does not sense motion directly under it. Approach it from 6' out & it works great. I would use the double faced tape only on an indoor installation. Seems like a well built light. Should work fine if motion is coming at it.

I have 2 on my front porch facing the door. It only turns on when it detects motion. There is only motion when someone is at the front door. So it is perfect for my use! Day or night it only turns on with motion.

I just figured out I did not answer your question. I have not tried it from inside a building while my camera is outside? I figure it would work through a window? Sorry for the useless response.

It works on the inside of the window. I have sliding windows and it works great. I don't know about your double hung windows.

We mounted ours inside our window pointing at the opposite inside window. There are a few trees in between our units and it works great. Our distance is about 600 feet between units.

It should work because it senses motion, glass is transparent like the cover over the sensor. Good luck.

I think the closer that you get it to the window is the best. Mine is near the front of the house, street side, and I placed it above my window. The signal will travel through the sheet rock. It works great. I don't think the metal roof will matter much, infact it might enhance the signal. When I placed the signal on top if the entertainment center the signal was not as strong as it was by the window!

I have used this device mounted on the interior but looking through a window to the outside. The performance was poor during daylight/hot days but improved considerably at night or as the days got cooler. This is a device that looks for heat and the window glass it's looking through can get hot and obscure any movement detections.

Yes but their is signal loss through the class mounting. The least amount of loss is through single pane un-tinted glass. The loss increases with tinted or UV blocking glass. It will not work on double pane glass

If you put the camera in your window facing outside (like mine is) you can use it to capture outside activity, this camera is not weather-proofed and is to be used inside only!

The X-It ladder shown will not work without a window sill. They do sell a permanent wall mount that can be used on windows without a sill. That seems to mean that the ladder must be used on that window only though. Take a look at their website, here is what it says: "X-IT's grapple hook secures to the inside corner of the window sill. The load is transfered through the sill into the structure below the window, so a weak sill should not impact your X-IT Ladder. If you do not have a window sill use X-IT's permanent mount accessory".

Trial and error. If you want beauty, probably won't work. Place it temporarily and see what channels you get in. Then move it again and see where you get the most channels. You can go online and see what directions the signals come from for you address. And usually the windows are the best, particularly if your building is brick. Usually the wall or window that faces the most signals. Mine is in a window and behind a room darkening shade and it does not seem to effect it.

If your door opens outward I' am guessing the door is flush with the door frame on the outside. This is where the door sensor should mount. The door sensor has two pices using double stick tape to mount. I don't see how you could mount the sensor on the inside of the door because the door is not flush with the frame eon the inside. There is a motion sensor also that you could use on the inside that would detect any of the doors opening. Hope this helps

The camera is powered by a standard outlet. I am not sure if the camera can be triggered on by motion detection. We use it for a continuous live feed. It should work installed behind a glass window. You just might need to make sure to keep the glass clean for a clear image.

You can't place IR camera in front of window. The window will reflect the light. This will make your camera can't see anything.

Absolutely! Great question. This alarm would work well with a double or single hung window. You will not be able to create a zone, but you could have a fixed vent position. Line up the alarm at a chosen vent position, adhere it, but leave it switched to the off position. The window could then be closed and locked or opened without setting off the alarm. Then when you only want to vent the window, simply line up the two parts of the alarm and switch it to the alarm position.
