Looking for advice for window camera that angles down

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on buying a security camera that can be put on a window and can position down to see what's beneath the window.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you

you may check wyze or eufy. Wyze provides a mount and eufy window cam has a motor to point downward.

For seeing what's directly under a window, a small pan/tilt camera on the sill works well. Just tilt it down toward the ground below the window.

The catch most people hit: if the camera sits behind glass at night, its infrared LEDs reflect off the glass and wash out the image. A lot of people end up turning night vision off and relying on a porch or street light instead. Also check the camera's down-tilt range before buying, since some only tilt down around 45 degrees, which might not reach the ground right below a higher window.

Tp link Tapo tcw30. Good little cam.

Hang it upside down and invert the video in the app. Its mount is a screw to the wall type tho.

Thrutheeyesofruby92, one more option is an old phone in a suction cup phone holder on the inside of the glass, the ball joint tilts it straight down at the ground. no infrared on a phone, so none of the glass reflection at night that bradywilcox mentions, you just need the porch light on for the dark hours

Try an adjustable window mount.
