Yes, that is how I have mines for years with no problem. The only issue is that you cannot use the night vision because of the reflection of the night vision light.

Absolutely. Only you have to turn off the night vision, it glares and you can’t see anything. It’s great if it’s looking out at an area that is lite up.

While you can point your camera out a window to see what’s happening outside, this might affect your video quality. For example, the window glass can create reflections, and your view is limited by the size and location of the window.

It works during the day but at night it only works if it is behind curtains that block the room light. Turn off IR so it is not reflected back from the window.
