Will this camera work if I put it on the windowsill pointing outside? Obviously the window would be inches from the lens so wondering?

During the day it will work, but there might be some reflection depending on the angle and amount of light inside. At night the infrared light will reflect back to the camera and give you glare and it will be impossible to see any thing outside. You can tape over the infrared lights and then put a separate infrared light outside if needed.

It does work through glass, I put it inside a vase (dark glass) and it works well. You might have some issues with the light level, that may require you to manually shut down the LED lights because the glass may reflect those lights.

I think it would if there is a window. Mine is on a ground level window and get great reception not knowing which direction it's suppose to be pointed. I'm impressed on the clarity of the picture.

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be. I returned mine for a refund

I have the same camera and lens combination. I have used it on the tripod. It works well as long as it is on a solid flat surface and it's not very windy. The first time I use this tripod was on Fourth of July weekend. It was extremely windy here and my photos were all very blurry. In other conditions, the camera and lens are fine on this tripod.

It works fine for me.I put the camera in my yard went back into the house and then took pictures. I was from behind.

In my experience this is definitely an issue. Very pronounced sun flares to the extent I am considering returning the lens. It is not always possible to "be aware of your positioning" to resolve the problem. Yes, you can take a picture of something else I suppose and turn your back on your intended capture if the sun is anywhere in the sky. I have used the lens at all times of day and it makes no difference.

Yes you can, it works great, every time I shoot outdoors I use it, fit well in the LCD screen, my only objection is the key control if you want to zoom in and move the image, but not grat deal. Buy it.

It will work, but you won't be able to meter through the lens. It may only work in Manual mode, but if you're that kind of shooter then you'll still be able to take nice photos. Its worth the extra work for this lens, IMO

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.

Well, I used mine in the rain on a tripod pointed at a bird feeder. We got a MAJOR rain (historic flooding) and my camera died. Returning for warranty service; I'll cross my fingers that Bushnell will replace it.

how does it do in small spaces. We cruise some and it's difficult if not impossible to take a good picture inside our cabin. With my fixed 55 if i aim my picture on the door knob 5 feet away, i get the door knob and a little of the door. would this lense be able to get the whole door?

this camera would work fine outside as long as you keep it out of the weather. i know that sounds contradictory but even though this says "outdoor" i would try to keep it under a roof or eave or something that shields it from the worst of the weather. as far as operating temps...i would not expect anything wireless to work well in the winter so take that into consideration if you live in a northern climate.

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

The camera is really wonderful but not for outside. I put mine by the window to check outside and turn the infrared off because the light reflects in the window glass and the only thing you can see is the infrared light. The infrared is very good, you can see everything in the deep darkness but like I said before, not through the window glass. I have a lamp outside and with that light I can see my back patio and front door. The camera is so easy to set up. It works really good. I am very tempted to buy another couple of those cameras... boy, they are good!!!

It will not record through the window AT NIGHT. The lights on it shine off the window. It works just fine during the day through the window. Better without the screen, but still is fine with the screen. I love this camera in every other way.

Based onu limited use, wind and brush may not be an issue. In experimental trials where I was the moving object approaching the camera from various angles, I could not get the camera to take pictures on a consistent basis. It failed to take my picture at a high rate. I doubt if moving brush will trigger it at a higher rate,
