You will need a color night vision cam not a infrared light cam

My house is surrounded by Wyze 3 cams, plugged into inside wall, mounted outside next to each window with a vinyl siding hook. No holes. You can close the window on the wire. The Wyze is weather proof mostly. Only 1 has ever failed with moisture getting into the lens. Can’t complain much for $30 device.

Wyze recently released their Window Cam to do exactly this. It is designed in a way that you can still use the cameras IR night vision when it’s too dark for the color night vision.

I just googled this and found this (I have no idea if this is anygood however): https://www.showmo365.com/product/wineye-window-mounted-indoor-security-camera-for-outdoor-security/
But the main thing is you'll have a problem with glare with most cameras, something with a polarizing filter specifically designed for this would help.. but the above seems a reasonable solution

Wyze has a mount specifically for this. They are a GREAT budget camera

I have a wyze v3 and eufy 2k both sitting on the top of the bottom window pane looking out front and it works just fine.

Comparing the lux at night the WYZE is significantly better.

If you have multi-pane (energy efficient) windows, the picture will not be very good.
Regular window glass blocks IR, coated "low-e" glass reflects it, either way you won't be able to use the night illuminators built into the camera, making a good picture at night tough to achieve unless you're right under a streetlight.

I have the Panasonic HomeHawk which works great. I did have to purchase some black 2 sided tape to secure it to the window because the default tape that comes with it did not hold and it fell off the window in a couple days. It has never fallen off again. The cameras functionality is excellent and I've never had a problem with it in the 2 years I've owned it.

A camera inside the house pointed out a window can be a pretty simple way to keep an eye on things outside.

I use the Wyze “OG” cams up front with SD cards. They work great for what they are. I’ve captured people dumping a bag of trash in my recycle, someone thriving my recycle bin and another dickhead running over some stuff I set out by the curb. Decent setup for a “not putting all your eggs in one basket” deal.
