can the nest camera be pointed out from a window for driveway view, long range null

Question

Earnest · Accepted Answer

Although the directions state not to place in direct sunlight. I have 1 in a window at my office so I can view when someone is at the door as well as when they pull into the parking lot.

You will see movement but not much detail

Yes, but you need to be aware of reflection and interior light impacts. It will take a little bit of experimentation, but it can work.

Yes. I do it. Just turn off IR lights/cut filter in settings. Need to have adequate outside lighting.

Yes, it can be pointed out a window for a driveway. I'm not sure of the distance, but we use one of ours out the window and there is a zoom option. You will get constant notices for any motion detection. Any time someone drives or walks by, or any animal walks or flies by, you will get a notice. So, you will need to decide the purpose. If it is merely to record the front driveway when motion is detected or it is a high traffic area, you probably will want to turn off notices or they will drive you crazy.

Yes. But if light is on inside home camera will reflect. Obviously u can't see out windo if light inside and dark outside. I would suggest put infront of closed shutters

Yes. The only requirements is that you have to plug it into a wall electrical outlet. Where you point it is your choosing.

Yes, I have mine out the window and have a pretty good range to view. I do have to have mine up on a pedestal though.

Yep--it can. The only issue to be mindful of is if it gets hit with too much direct sunlight, creating an overheating situation.
