will this camera record through a window?

During daylight hours, it does so very well. When using the IR lighting, there is a lot of glare. I've tried several ways to eliminate it, but so far no luck. I have read where someone blacked out the lights on the camera and used IT illuminators outside, and that worked. I'll be giving that a try myself.

I get good resolution through a window and also at night if you turn the ir lights off. Recording should be the sane though I don't know if the motion sensor would work to initiate recording.

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.

No. Just cameras & receiver. You would need to connect it to a pc or dvr to record.

Yes, I have done so. The IR's at night will not shoot out properly and you will get a reflected picture. During the day, it is hit and miss depending. I have tried this with several different types of glass (dual pane, single pane, etc.) and when I have looked at the quality of the video, it is poor. This method also relies on how far away you set up your camera from the window, and the ambient lighting surrounding the area as well.

Yes, it does record. You need a Windows PC with IE browser to setup recording. Recording is done on a storage device like hard drive connected to PC

yes you can monitor cameras on a window 7 pc, as far as playback and record , but as far as a standalone on windows 7 pc I am not sure

It will if you readjust the lens to record you. However, I would not recommend you to purchase this camera. It's not very good. I'm not happy with it. It doesn't work very good, and looks very cheap. Sometimes buttons don't work, and the video quiallity is bad as well.

Your using it to monitor the exterior of your home from the interior of your home directly through a window? If so, I don't have an answer for that. It wouldnt expect it to do that, it is not the proper camera to do so. Get an exterior camera with the proper width and leds to do so. Just for example, have you ever tried to recording through the inside of your house to the outside with your camcorder. It's never worked very well, very bad focus. Look into an exterior cam. Mine works great.

I have my webcam inside the house, facing out thru the picture window. I believe the instructions say it's for indoor use. The camera does not look like it's weather resistant.

I would say Yes. This is a network camera, to use it to just record to view later would be a waste of money. The greatest advantage is to download the Dlink APP, then I can view with a phone, or tablet that supports that APP. We use our existing Cable Companies internet modem / Wireless router. Our camera is on our home WiFi. Newer Smart TV's probably could be used to set up door views, although we only use to watch our dog when we are not home. I can see it also to be used as a baby monitor situation, or to watch baby sitters although I think you have to tell them you video monitor ( without showing the cameras location). Not sure if that helps.

yes. You just have to select that setting on the video camera before recording.

Yes. The camera can be set to automatically record when motion is sensed by the camera.

Very hard to say but probably, if you tape it to the right window. Not from it sitting next to your tv though.

No. Software has to be installed on a computer in order to record from the unit. Great unit otherwise.

You need a phantom voltage from a recording interface. For measurements REW works with Windows.

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.

You'll also need a PC in the room/building. The camera by itself won't work.
